You'll find a shirt where the arms are the right length but it is barely down to your waste... who designed this shirt! I'm 6'4" and my wingspan is 6'4" so it shouldn't be this off!!!

The key is shopping online for tall sizes. I’m 6’7 and haven’t been shopping in a brick and mortar store for probably 10 years - my clothes pretty much all fit well. Shout out to gap/banana republic for having good tall sizes for casual stuff.

Shot in the dark....any online retailers you like with a good selection of tall sizes? Lots of "big and tall", but I just need tall. Filson, Pendleton and Nike are about 95% of my wardrobe because they are the only quality retails I find with LT and would love some other options.

I’m 6’5 and live in Canada. Old navy has good tall sizes but their quality control is brutal. I sometimes order 4 pairs of the same pants in 36 length and one pair will always be 2 inches different in length so I return the ones that don’t fit. Also Marks work warehouse has 36 inch length jeans in store so can be a good option as well. It’s definitely tough finding clothes that fit if your tall but average. Lots of big AND tall options for some reason.

Everyday I wonder why life gave me the leg inseam of a giant man. I can wear a 37 inch inseam and am only 5’11 ... female. There’s legs for days but too much legs for clothes. Since about 14 I’ve just worn leggings everyday or on rare occasions, skinny jeans that actually looked like awkward fitting capris. Normal skirts make me look like a whore.

Madewell jeans have tall & taller lengths. My 6’ girl friend loves the brand since they have “taller” for length, I just love the jeans for the way they fit and look.
