^^^It seems that almost any Long jacket or suit sites for a long time on B&S. Any guy over 6'3" can get super deals here.

Here is another example of super quality at a great price for a tall guy.

There are deals out there for us tall guys, but they are very few and far between. Some makers versions of L is frustrating. I guess the corduroy is a casual suit, but 31.5 length on a 42L...that is short. It is a hell of a deal though...same with the PRL linen, which I would grab if the shoulders were an inch bigger.

I'm 6' 2" and anything longer than 30"- 30.5" BOC seems like it is circa 2000. I say it is a good contemporary length for someone 6'3" - 6'4" Any longer will start looking NBA

PSG, I may be pretty new here, but have been following the forum and your blog for quite a while. I definitely respect your opinion so I will have to dig up some of your pictures. Most of my jackets are 32", which hits right at the bottom of my crotch and covers my arse. That being said, I like my rise around 10.75 so if I went with what is currently offered for 32" waist (normally 10.25 rise), your preferred length might work. Not a fan of the higher rise though...the boys gotta breathe! Still, I'll start looking at some of your stuff and taking it into consideration because it a hard findings jackets in my current desired length. Thanks.

Sorry guys, back to the B&S finds...

Guys, I'd kindly ask you to take this side discussion elsewhere.

B&S finds discussion ONLY! No side chitchat.

I've flagged a couple of these posts for mod cleanup.

In old-school B&S style:
  • Bump and +1 for Mainy, long time B&S seller who I bought my first B&S item ever from. Great seller in my book, I wish he got more deals like he did back in 09+.
  • I snagged some Venanzi stuff from him that were just flat out fantastic at practically steal prices. If I was the size in any of the stuff he had left, I'd bust open the piggy bank for it. We're talking top, top notch bits.
  • +1 for Mainy again, just 'cuz.
+1
top seller,very great
