Fellow talls, are you able to wear cardigans? I'm 6'4" / 195 CM and have never been able to find one that isn't far too short and/or bulky, and the thought of going bespoke for a cardigan just makes me feel like a massive pillock. So, if you have found the holy grail of longer and fitted cardigans, would you care to share this resource so that all of us can embrace the glory?

My office is either insanely hot or insanely cold, and sometimes a sport coat just doesn't work out.

Give John Smedley a shot. I'm 6'3" and they work fine for me.
