Default (OT) Pants length for men

Not exactly on topic but at least it's not politics. Anyhow, since we
all need pants, usually jeans to do our home repairs, I think this
applies to the group.

Because I farm and do a lot of repairs, jeans dont last too long. Either
they get ripped, cut, or so covered with auto grease that they cant be
cleaned. Much of the time the zippers break or I just plain wear out the
knees from kneeling on the ground. Generally, I just buy the cheap ones
at Walmart. Even if the costlier ones might last a little longer, I'll
wear them out quickly anyhow.

I'm posting this because I cant find my size (length). I need a 29"
length, and the shortest they sell is a 30" (in my waiste size). So, I'm
constantly walking on the cuffs, wear the cuffs out in a few weeks, and
they are constantly coated with mud, manure, dirt, and whatever else I
drag them across. Annoying as hell!!!

I dont have anyone to sew them, and I dont sew. Having a seamstress do
it, would probably cost more than the pants themselves. I have tried
rolling them up and using safety pins, but the pins come out fast.

I'm not alone with this. I know other guys with the same problem.

Is there any sort of glue I could use to permanently glue the cuffs up?
