Dual or Single vent VS. Tall People

[aflatau]

Which do you think is best for a jacket on a suit for taller people
I am 6'5 - slim built - tend to lean towards dual vent.

Which do you prefer?

I'm 6'4" & I usually prefer single on 2B, double on 3B.

Dual or single vent vs. tall people?

That's a hard choice. On the one hand, all of my suits have either dual or single vents. On the other hand, I know some nice tall people. Not sure.

If the question is "dual or single vent for tall people," I would say that either would work, but the vertical line of the dual vent is less pronounced. I would go with dual vents. I'm not tall and I go with dual vents just because I like them, so that may have influenced my answer!

i dont think dual or single vent issue has anything to do with being tall, but what i can say is that my preference towards dual (or ventless) is due to the fact that many times the single vent on a jacket can look sloppy. when you stand up the single vent flaps can hold one another up (instead of draping back down) and can give you a bell shape look from the side.

VS is supouse to mean version tall people. failure on my end.

Dual.

 

[dizzhizz]

dual as well.

Dual can make your hips look wider. If you are tall and slim, that might be a good thing or a bad thing. Single is great if the vent lays flat for you. And unvented is underrated at the moment.

Ventless has fallen out of fashion altogether. The single can be seen here and there, but the side-vented suit is all the rage. Pick whatever you like, but as you are tall and slim side vents will be far more practical. You won't suffer any possibility of being 'fattened' or 'widened' by them, yet when you sit the rear of the coat will move perfectly and you will also have easy access to your pockets. A single-vented coat will gape when you reach for either pocket and reveal your bum, the very thing it was meant to cover. Ventless coat? Forget going for your pockets!

You're tall and slim - what are you complaining about?!

Oh, but it really is. Your tall and slim so the choice is yours. I'm also part of the double vented squad...

This is what I like to hear. Perhaps I should bust out my unvented suits more often. I just can't get my self to wear them.

I'm tall/skinny and prefer single vent. As much as double is more preferred here, it never stays flat on me and I end up with a big shapeless flap in the back
