Umm, "inseam" is not a very precise measurement -- it varies depending on
fashion, and how you like to wear your pants.  Is there some measurement on the
body that can be used instead?  I don't know whether the 109% is supposed to be
of the measurement from my crotch to my ankle, the bottom of my foot, the bottom
of my trousers, or something else.
