My Pockets are Too Deep

So, I've discovered that my body type and new jeans don't mix. The 'sag' style pants, or the 'relaxed fit' jeans with their looseness and comfort have deep pockets. Unfortunetly I have short arms as compared to my torso. An average person who stretches their arms straight out to the sides should measure almost exactly their own height from finger tip to finger tip.
I don't.
So when I reach down into my pocket, for my keys or change or whatever, my hand sometimes doesn't touch bottom, forcing me to raise my leg, bringing the pocket higher.
It's weird.
And slightly embarrassing to admit.
And inconvenient when I'm walking.
So, I can't wait for the tight and short look from the 70s and early 80s to return.
Or for my arms to finish growing.
