I am 6' tall and I forgot what length of leathers I should be buying?

I have a 34" - 35" inseam

Thanks!

Dressage or close contact? Standard CC is 54", but you might need 60". Standard Dressage is, I think, 60". Much of the length decision will be based on where your leg length is coming from. If your length is in your thigh, then you will likely be fine with the standard length.

60- 64". I am 5' 9" (34.5" inseam) and can use 54" on the last hole (and they are still not quite long enough) to 64". I would suggest 64" for you. I have a pair of Courbette 64" brown leathers for sale if you are interested.

For jumping 58" will work.
