New to these forums so I thought I would start out with something that's always been an issue for me. I'm 6'6" with long arms (36/37), with a fairly slender body (ok i'm currently a little on the high end side for me, but i'm getting back to where I normally am). For most brands, I cannot wear an XL casual shirt as they are too baggy on me and the more trendy high-end designer brands are always too short for my arms even in an XL. I buy a lot of Banana Republic and have recently started shopping at JCrew because they carry Tall sizes for some of their clothes. Gap does too, but yeah not my thing, as is the same for Polo. Curious if anyone else on this board has the same problem I do and where you shop. Could be there are some resources for nice fitting and styled tall clothes I have not become aware of yet? Any tips would be great!
