Default any tall blokes in the house?

thought id have a look around online for clothes just now. im 6'9" but only got a 33/34" inside leg, all my height is in my back, and its a CUNT to get shirts and Tshirts long enough that arnt big enough to use as sails. i dont like tight stuff, but equally dont like overly baggy stuff, but the only sizes that are long enough in the back are about 10" to big round the chest.

as far shirts and stuff long enough in the arms ive got no chance.

properly annoying that 99% of the shops online are big and tall, mostly catering for fat fuckers who need bedsheets with sleeves

found one site that does a tall XL size, but havnt found a tup under £50 and i refuse to pay that for a poloshirt tbh! call me a tight arse but i wont.

anyone else have this agro? or know of any decent shops for tall blokes? not fat cunts only.

Im 6"5 and sometimes have problem getting shirts with long enough sleeves, especially decent designer gear!

One company i have found good for simple shirts etc for wearing under jackets is "WalkTall" www.walktall.co.uk

Hope thats of some use

Thats me and i'm only 6'7 at the moment , i find it hard to get decent shirts and tops etc as they either fit me arms and are too baggy or nice round the chest but too long in the arms

I say its discrimination against tall fookers as the "special" shops that cater for us charge a fortune

yeah used to have to wear shirts while working the door at my old place and it wa such a fucking ball ache tucking them in ever 5 mins, the tails were only just long enough to sit inside my trousers! lean over and itd all pop out! only got one shirt that fits me properly, proper pain in the arse.

just want some decent clobber for going out and stuff that FITS properly and isnt total gash.

Nice edit, Mr Smoov.

ever considered just wearing a bedsheet and belt like the wide people do? If it's good enough for the wide...why not the long?

hahaha, but it's so much fun!

by the way, i'm 6ft2 and don't have any problems getting clothes to fit me. Although I find alot of shirts are too tight on my arms when they fit properly elsewhere. And my jeans always fall down so they don't really fit properly

umm, I think like a 34. I don't wear baggy jeans really. They're just slightly to big on the waist so fall down

I'm sure somewhere must make long t-shirts though. I don't know what kind of labels/style you're into but have a look at es skateboards t'shirts. Theyre slim and long in the body. Alot of skate/snowboard/bmx companies now make slim fit t'shirts so it might be worth looking at those if you can live with the logos?


Or just pull your jeans up like simon cowell.

yeah theyre cool shirts, infact thinking about it ive got a couple of billabong t shirts that fit me quite well! tbh i went through a phase of getting my clothes from the likes of asda as they occasionally have some good stuff in (emphasis on occasionally :blub: )

maybe need to stop being a lazy fucker and actually go shopping around and trying stuff on
