New Hunter Looking for Tech Clothing Opinions

I've been an archer for several years and am planning my inaugural general archery hunt this year. I'm trying to plan do some research on tech clothing that will work well for me, but am curious on everyone's experience with pants, specifically. I generally run a 34" waist (36" on some brands) but have a 30" inseam. 31" in any brand I've ever tried fits like your big brother's hand-me-downs that you might never grow into. This causes some restriction on available brands that size based on inseam, but I'm curious if anyone with similar dimensions to me has found a brand with general Regular/Long sizing that still fits 30" inseams like mine?

Badlands? Pneuma? Eberlestock? Black Ovis?

First Lite, Kuiu, and KXG have some models with sizing that works for me, but I'm curious what other options might exist to broaden my pant horizons. Thanks in advance for helping a tech clothing newby.
 
Honestly, you could probably walk into any Target or Dick's sporting goods and get just about everything you need. Synthetic pants, synthetic sun hoodie/longsleeve, grid fleece, down vest. Maybe except for a really good puffy jacket.

If you're not quite up for that, check out Backcountry.com's sales. Wide selection on a bunch of different brands that would do the trick, and you can filter by inseam length.
 
I do have a pair of Kings Draft pants. They feel just a touch low-rise and fit really snug through the thighs. They'll likely be fine in the woods, but I feel like a boy band member wannabe wearing skinny jeans if I dare to wear them around town. I'm not getting rid of them (somehow I scored them at $25 on Amazon) but I'm hopeful for some other options. Black Ovis is more affordable than most, but they only have regular/long lengths which their sizing chart says equates to a 32" inseam at a starting point. I suppose they could just get hemmed but that seems like it should be an unnecessary hassle.
