Legit question, and I’ll tag @tannerguzy in since maybe he knows:
Is there a way to get pants fitted to your actual dimensions instead of just whatever sizes stores carry? I’m like a 34x27-28 and there’s just no hope of me not rolling up the legs.

Second hand stores are a good source of higher quality pants with a lower budget, and many dry cleaners also do alterations for a small price. The trick is to find trousers that are comfortable but don't wrinkle easily. All cotton dockers feel good but rumple fast.

I’m wondering how to identity the good clothes at second hand shops.

The tag is part of it. Look up what the good brands are. I've found Jones New York and Evonne Piccone (?) before. But also fabric content and drape. Grab a handful of fabric and scrunch. If it holds those wrinkles it will look rumpled quickly.

Look at your best fitting pants. Hold them up and notice the cut and the proportion. How wide is the leg, how long is the waist. This will help rule out weird cut pants at the second hand store.

Don't be tempted but 100% polyester or rayon. They can look cheap. Look for a wool blend or a cotton blend. The down side is that wool may need to be dry cleaned rather than washed at home.

I’m learning synthetic fabrics are evil, especially in my humid climate.

Yes, very much so. They are hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Summer weight wool, cotton or linnen breathes better than clingy sticky sythetics.
