Finding big men's clothes for the tall man can be a nightmare - everything is either way too big or far too short as you search for that perfect combination of length and fit. To learn how and where to find great clothes for the taller man, read on.
Have them Tailor Made
I have a good friend who is very tall - close to 6'7" - and to find clothes that were both stylish and fit him well, he simply had clothing custom and tailor-made. For example, he was hard-pressed to locate a dress shirt that was not only the right length in the torso and arms, but also wasn't so big that he was swimming in it. So, he opted to have customized dress shirts made.
A tailored shirt can cost $175 per item, but they're also handmade, made perfectly to measure and will last for years.
For tailored pants, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $600 and higher, depending on the material and the person who makes the adjustments. This option might only be appropriate for work or formal wear.
Eddie Bauer Tall
Eddie Bauer is a popular store known for its casual wear and outdoor clothing. While most of their clothes aren't appropriate for the more formal workplace, they're perfect for zipping around town or hanging around the house. They also happen to make an extensive line of tall clothing.
So, instead of having to buy an XXX-large for the length when you're actually a large, you can simply purchase a large-tall or a large-long, giving you that extra bit of length you need in the legs. The clothes are not only durable and well-fitting, but they're also affordable.
The Rochester Big and Tall Men's Store
Rochester's is a well-known chain of stores that specializes in clothing for big and tall men. You can visit any of their store locations or shop right from their website. They offer tall sizes up to 5XT which provides lots of extra length and a 38/39 long sleeve (a godsend for men who are tired of always having to push up their shirt sleeves).
Rochester not only carries its own house brand, but also everyday and work wear clothes from popular brands like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein.
L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean is a catalog-based clothing manufacturer, though many of their clothes are now sold through Sears. Because they're a catalog company, you can order customized sizes. They offer sleeve lengths up to 36 inches and can match that with any variety of collar and shirt size. If you want big men's clothes delivered right to your door, this could be the clothing company for you.
