This is the main problem with Ebay/Amazon listings.
If they do not mention the inside leg measurement and the vast majority do not you can't go off the pictures - they are either completely wrong, ambiguous or they use models to make the length of shorts look longer than what they are.
This query is a good example for being able to demonstrate how a couple of advanced
Google-search features can help you hone-in on potential clothing options for you...
The first step is to use the
site-specific search-feature in Google search, where it can be asked to only return search-results from a specific site, which is achieved using Ebay as an example by including the following statement in your Google-search query -
site:ebay.co.ukThe second step is to use a
key phrase that you're keen to have included in your search-results, and wrapping the phrase in double-quotes ensures that Google will try very hard to include that key phrase in any returned results, so your particular Google search query with this example might well also then use the following in it's search terms -
"inside leg"An optional third step might be to ask Google to return key
images from any returned pages found, rather than the usual
text-based search-results, and perhaps seeing potential image-based options for shorts rather that reading text-based options might help you again with this type of query, so we'd perhaps then also use the '
images' option on Google Search with any potential query like this, which might be especially helpful if you're looking for shorts of a particular colour, for example.
Wrapping all the above up into a single Google-search URL, and also using the words "
chino" and "
shorts" (without the forced-quotes this time...) you can use the following URL link to then hopefully see some ebay-based options that might help with your initial query -
https://www.google.com/search?q=site:ebay.co.uk+chino+shorts+%22inside+leg%22&tbm=ischIf you open the above URL in a separate browser-tab, you'll not only hopefully get some good leads for your initial query, but perhaps more importantly, you can clearly see in the Google-search text-box that appears at the top of the returned page showing how the previously-mentioned
advanced search-terms have been entered together to get those particular returned search-results...
Listed below are a few sample links from the above returned results, noting that many of the returned Ebay images are also helpfully marked on the above search-results that they are '
In Stock' as well, in green lettering underneath the images, and clicking on the links below will hopefully then confirm for you that the key words "
inside leg" do appear in the returned ebay listings for the shorts when using the above advanced-search features -
