Info for tall people

[mljones99]

I might be interested in one of the Tom James if there is 50L with a sleeve closer to 37"

Sleeves were 25" IIRC, I remember guesstimating an equivalent shirt sleeve of 35-36".

Just for information, as another tall freak (almost 6'7") I wear a 36" sleeve length for shirts but that corresponds to a 27" shoulder seam to cuff length on sport coats/jackets. This is with a bit of cuff showing.

I estimated based on the very large shoulder. I figured half the shoulder plus one sleeve should approximate the shirtsleeve measurement of the wearer. I may have been wrong. In any event there was probably extra fabric for lengthening the sleeves, but I'd have to go back to check.

Thanks for the data point though.

I created a website called Tall Clothing Mall with lots of tall clothing stores because it was so hard to find tall clothing.

If you need help finding a particular piece of tall clothing, check out this page
http://www.tallclothingmall.com/hardtofit.html and I could possibly do some searching and make a special page for you.

PSA - I did see a bunch of XLs in the Golden Fleece section at brooks website.

Another PSA. In the midtown Rochester Big and Tall, there is a 44XL Hickey Freeman Collection navy pinstripe suit for about $375, made of Loro Piana 120s fabric. Ask for Micah Friedman.

Okay, I finally got back there and re-measured (although, still not very precisely - I didn't have a lot of time). I guess they are about a 50-52L.

24" across shoulders
~27 across chest
35 from bottom of collar to bottom hem
~26 sleeve from shoulder
some allowance inside cuff

Pants
22-23" across waistband (about 43-44" inside probably)
45" outseam
32.5" inseam
1.5" cuff plus a bit to let out inside.

There are still at least 5 or so there, probably more. All dark businessy colors/patterns, medium-light weight. PM me if interested.

HSM's sale online is at 50%, and they have plenty of stuff in XL.
