I know Hermes does a few and I think Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren do as well but are there any other labels that do tall (extra long) ties?

Sam Hober will make it whatever length you want. I'm 6'4" and I really enjoy his work.

My local Nordstrom Rack has an excellent selection of extra long ties. Never checked the brands; however, I assume XMI, Talbott as well as Nordstrom brand.

Perhaps if you have a Rack nearby, you can call and see if they have them. Good luck

No Rack but I'll check out the regular Nordstrom here one day when I have time and see what they have to offer.

You might also check a big & tall store like Rochester. I know Talbott has made for them.

Will he? Will he make me a tie that is one billion miles long?

eBay has extra long ties. The Robert Talbott Best of Class are really nice.

Unless you are extremely tall and wear windsor knots, you don't need extra long ties. I don't own a single extra long tie, and all of my ties reach my belt when tied 4iH or half-Windsor and I'm 6'5".

I would disagree with Gladhands, as I am 6'5" and 220 lbs and can not wear a regular tie unless the skinny end is half way up the back. I need a tie that is at least 61" but prefer ones that are longer.
I want the tie to be resting at my belt buckle and the two ends to be nearly matched.
I have found Nordstroms xl ties to be a good length, and recently have discovered Tie Bars XL ties at $20 are a great bargin.

I agree with you. I am 6'7" and need at least a 63". Lands End also has some XL ties. I have had good luch with Brooks Bros & Talbott BOC.

Everyone does. Some may not be labeled as such; ask for them to measure the ties before you buy.

Apart from Hober, Turnbull and Asser will do it (sort of skinny OTR but will make bespoke). There's another maker that Drinkwater's in Cambridge has unearthed who will do bespoke. More English-looking than Talbott.
