You'll have to fly to Hong Kong .. there's a Marks & Spencer's there and they sell pants in short, medium, long lengths. Or - get them made at the fabric market.

I'm guessing you've tried xiangyang, I think there are a few export overflow shops around as well - I don't know where though. Or you could try mail order, I'm sure a few companies would deliver here. Or get some sent from home, or as Carrol says get them made at the Fabric Market - although if you're a girl be careful that they make the trousers to a girls pattern - I've had a few pairs that have had too much material at the front!!

I've tried on a few pairs of pants at the "TJMaxx" across the street from the fabric market - some items even have TJ Maxx price tags on them. They had a bunch of Banana Republic pants there last summer. To try on just go into one of the storage rooms at the back of the store.
