Looking for extra-short petite jeans? Many petite women need a shorter inseam than we usually find in petite jeans and pants. Typically the inseam is around 30", but that's still too long for many petites, especially those who are under 5'0".

Here's a new source for extra-short petite jeans in petite sizes 00 - 10. Allison Izu (Vendor's Site) is a petite clothing company specializing in premium petite jeans, which are all manufactured in the United States. This line offers jeans with either a 31" inseam or an extra-short 27" inseam. There are plans to expand the selection soon with the option of a 29" inseam.
