Recommendations To Locate Big And Tall Men’s Apparel
The search for clothing can be difficult enough, looking for pants, jackets, suits, shirts, and other standard apparel. But if you are either tall or carry extra weight (or both), the effort to locate nice looking clothing that looks good on you can be downright frustrating.
Finding big men’s clothes for the tall man can be a nightmare – everything is either way too big or far too short as you search for that perfect combination of length and fit. To learn how and where to find great clothes for the taller man, read on.
Have them Tailor Made
If you’re having a hard time finding a dress shirt that fits you properly through the torso and the sleeves, then you should consider having your shirts tailor-made. It’s often common for tall men to purchase shirts that have long-sleeves and lots of length in the body, but then those same shirts are gaping through the chest and arms.
A tailored shirt can cost $175 per item, but they’re also handmade, made perfectly to measure and will last for years.
For tailored pants, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $600 and higher, depending on the material and the person who makes the adjustments. This option might only be appropriate for work or formal wear.
Try the Tall Section at Eddie Bauer
Eddie Bauer is a popular store known for its casual wear and outdoor clothing. While most of their clothes aren’t appropriate for the more formal workplace, they’re perfect for zipping around town or hanging around the house. They also happen to make an extensive line of tall clothing.
The line is available at most major Eddie Bauer stores, and it actually fits slim. So, if you’re sick of shirts and pants that are long, but way too baggy – then this is the store for you. Their products are also durable and made for rugged use.
The Rochester Big and Tall Men’s Store
Rochester’s is a well-known chain of stores that specializes in clothing for big and tall men. You can visit any of their store locations or shop right from their website. They offer tall sizes up to 5XT which provides lots of extra length and a 38/39 long sleeve (a godsend for men who are tired of always having to push up their shirt sleeves).
The popular store also carries a wide range of suits from brands like Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Palm Beach.
L.L. Bean
The great thing about L.L. Bean’s custom mail order products is that they don’t just make big men’s clothes, but they manufacture clothes designed just for taller men. You can customize a shirt to have up to a 36-inch sleeve length and many of the outerwear and jackets are available in longer sizes.
