I have found High and Mighty is a good choice for men. They have a couple of dozen stores across the UK, including 3 in London, and have an international website at http://www.highandmighty.co.uk/page/home

They also have stores in Holland, Belgium, Iceland, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, if you're passing, but none in the US unfortunately.

Much of my clothing comes from Duluth Trading Company. All of their t shirts have an extra 3" in the length and their talls are even longer. Their clothing is kind of Carhartt-esque, but the prices are better and the build quality is better. The first pair of jeans I ever bought from them are 3 years old and are still in great shape despite hard use.

Are there any other "small talls" out there? I'm 6'6.5" and 120 lbs... 24" waist (hips not much bigger) and a 36 inseam. Pants have been a nightmare to find ever since I was a pre-teen. Sometimes I've been able to find 30 waist with 36 inseam, but that's rare. JCPenney has been a good source for me, but the smallest waist with most of the brands they offer (with a 36 inseam) is 32. So, I've had tailors take them in as much as possible. It's really difficult to do that with jeans, though... and I often still just have to cinch them up as best I can with a belt and wear them down on my hips.

Fortunately I live in Los Angeles... and am self-employed... so I can get away with wearing shorts most of the time. I do have to buy my shorts from the boy's department to get my waist size, but longer inseams with shorts are available here and there... so they don't look totally ridiculous on me.

I don't have to worry so much about tall sizes in shirts since my torso isn't long... and I can find size small t-shirts anywhere. Long-sleeved shirts are a different story... the sleeves are never long enough so I've ALWAYS had to roll them up to the elbows. Sometimes I've had a tailor take in the chest and shoulders if it's too big on me, but that process can sometimes be more expensive than the shirt itself!

Unfortunately I can't find "small tall" sizes in shirts anywhere! Maybe we're the minority, but surely I can't be the only one out there!

I wear size 8 shoes... and am often asked, "How do you keep your balance?" But, I have to say, even if I do have to endure being teased about having small feet as a tall guy, it's easy to find my shoe size anywhere. That's the one saving grace!

Hey guys - been reading through TTSJ for a little while now and became a member a few weeks ago. After suffering through most of my life trying to find decent tall clothes (I'm 6'5" with long arms) I finally went and did something about it.

Reading through this post and talking with several of you and others from other blogs/tall groups helped me confirm and refine my plan to start a clothing label specifically for tall guys. No cheap imports, no generic low-quality clothing. Everything designed exclusively (by great North American designers) for the label and sold in an online store. And when I say tall, I mean slim to average size guys (might even fit you, TallDinLA!), from about 6'4" to 7'0". After spending most my life hunting for decent tall clothing I'm really excited to be working on this project. Find out more details at:

http://www.verticalworkshop.com

There you'll find lots of info, plus details of my Twitter (@verticalwrkshop) and Facebook account. Thanks to Cheyenne and Roy Parkin (and others) for your feedback and insight during the planning phase. I welcome additional feedback, suggestions, or ideas from anyone, anytime! At this point it's really just me running the show...a real grass roots effort!

I was in Calgary last week and visited the Tall Girl Shop there. It was probably one of the first tall shops for women in Canada and became a chain. I didn't like going there. The clothes were too "old" for a teen and a bit on the expensive side too.

Apparently they have had severe financial problems and have been bought out by Long Tall Sally of the UK. This is potentially very good news for Canadians as Long Tall Sally has some good clothing. There were Tall Girl Shops in the US, but I don't know if they are covered by the buyout.

I no longer live in Canada, but maybe some of you can use this as they bring in their stock.

Carhartt sells nice canvas pants in a myriad of earth tone colors in a 36" inseam. You can get a waist as small as 29"!
LUCKY brand Jeans are about a 35 1/2" inseam in their long
REI sells tall long underwear
I'm just tall as well. 34x36 pants, 16 neck, 42XL suit
It's a bear.

I will echo those who said Gap and NY&Co. For Gap, I have to go online an get xlongs but they are the only jeans I can wear (used to like lucky's but now as a 10-12 they don't fit right).
For anyone who like me has to wear suits on a regular basis and gets sick of skirt suits I recommend Tahari. I still have to get the arms and pants altered to the longest they will go but they are the best I have found.

New to this journal..hi everyone. Recently found www.tallcouture.com, they have a nice selection of denim and other items but I have only purchased a pair of jeans from them. Also have an awesome customer service too. Also like www.longtallsally.com, haven't bought anything from them yet though.

Hi Everyone, my name is Kim and I recently started a website for tall ladies to sell and buy gently used clothing. I am 6'2" and understand how difficult it is to find clothing that fits! This site is a great way to clean out your closet and know the clothes are going to someone who will use them and appreciate the length. It's like an on-line garage sale of just tall womens clothes! It is called No Heels Required. Here is the link: www.noheelsrequired.com. Sign-up for the site is free and each posting is $3.00 for 30 days of posting! If anyone has anyone has any questions, please let me know!
