Any tall fella's out there?

[Nickerson]

I'm 6'3" and 225 lbs.

I'm always struggling to find upper body wear that fits right. When you go up to larger sizes like XL, XXL, etc, they just seem to get wider more than longer. I'm not that wide, an XL fits me good, but the length just isn't long enough. I wear a tshirt or a sweatshirt and if I raise my arms it lifts up past my belly button.

I tried getting some stuff from GAP online, as they offer extra tall sizes which adds a +2 inches, but still, not long enough.

Are there any good places that sell good tshirts for taller men?

I know some companies like Affliction and Tapout make their shirts kind of large. I like the style, but the shirts are like $40.00 to $80.00 each, and the style is a bit over played by wanabe badasses.

So is there any good places that sells thsirts for taller men? Stuff that doesn't just fit but looks good?

Good selection of shirts here in tall sizes. I'm 6'2 and about 250 pounds with an athletic build, and the XXL tall fit me just fine.

I'm in a similar situation... 6'8", 240-280 depending upon time of year and mood.

Eddie Bauer XLT works great - probably my favorite fit. Nike makes some athletic wear that is taller, even without specifying a tall size.

You look good for 340, Dan, I never would have guessed that.

6'6" and 330 here ... Like Dan said Casual Male or even Pennys has a big and tall section thats halfway decent.

i'm 6'5" and 160lbs. so i got issues with finding pencil sized shirts (and pants). i'm not sure exactly what it's called but my wife picked me up some t-shirts that are called easy tuck or something like that, so they have extra length without the extra width and i have to say i haven't had a t-shirt that's ever fit me as good as these.

 

[orangedog]

for plain white undershirts, jockey also makes a tall size available at Macys that is really long, but if you want to wear it as a casual shirt you'll need to go up a size at least... fits snug.

6'6" 275 and dropping for the wedding.

I shop king size, casual male, rochester, and directly from ralph lauren. 90% of my wardrobe is polo stuff, and I just check around at those place for the best deal. Sometimes extra long is too long though. I hate when that happens.

I've had good luck with Cabelas. They have most everything available is tall sizes. The quality of thier products is top notch.

That was my height and weight in High School. I had to go on medication for an anxiety and panic disorder and I gained 100 lbs in 1 year. Funny cause I had a horrible diet back in High School and I would never gain a pound, now I can't loose weight no matter what.

I'm 6'5" and a solid 350lbs. Chest is 60" and waist is 40"/42" (depending on what I ate for dinner). I can't find any athletic cut suits anymore. The last two I bought were Ralph Lauren at $600 each for a 60XLT and they aren't great. Still too big in the waist but they said that it wouldn't be possible to cut more out. Any smaller suit I tried on and my shoulders and arms were too tight. Everybody tells me I need to start getting them made, but don't know where to go.

For golf polos, Dillards or Penneys once a year clearance sale is the place to go. I pick up about 20 4xlts for about $5-10 each and they are cut broad in the shoulders and narrow in the waist.
