Sounds like you're built like thurston moore.

Off the top of my head - I'm 6'3 but you're probably skinnier than I am - engineered garments, spiewak, nice collective all are cut pretty slim and have long arms.

BB extra slim fit in size large seemed to fit quite nicely. Now where to find sweaters that are tall and slim...

I have the exact same problem. I have a couple BR sweaters, I bought 2 L before I was a member here and thought to myself 'I've made a huge mistake' after realizing that they were too big. So I went out and got a Medium it fits better but is a little short. Even trying to find a good tshirt is a pain **********. Some of the best fitting t's I have ever owned were BillaBong, but I'm not into wearing that stuff anymore. Everything I find now that is a good length is too wide at the bottom.

I'm gonna have to go check out those extra slim BB shirts next time I'm in Toronto.

It's not exactly an answer, and it may be a pain **********, but why not buy shirts that fit in the shoulders and have a tailor take in the body? Any decent tailor can do it. I know it adds cost to every purchase, but you'd probably find it to be worth the expense.

Anyone have know other places I should try given that info?
