Came here to say this. LL Bean has tall sizes, the shirts never go out of style and come out of the dryer wrinkle free. I have shirts that are decades old. As a customer of 40 years I highly recommend them.

This is where I go for tall sizes as well. People say the quality has dipped but I’ve bought most of my clothing here for years and haven’t had any issues. The one time I did they replaced it no questions asked and it was likely my fault from incorrectly laundering.

Yes they have tall sizes. When SO was thinner being able to get a M talk was worth the money

Dan Flashes is a very aggressive store. I mean, you walk by a store and you see 50 guys who look just like me fighting over very complicated shirts? You go in.

They can be expensive, but it’s totally worth it for the more complex patterns.

I go with Duluth. As long as I'm diligent about hanging up the shirts just out of the dryer I never seem to need to iron them. I don't like their pants. The fabric in the pockets is lousy.

6'3 with a long torso here-- I went to Brooks Brothers and found a shirt that fit me, then went on ebay and bought used ones for $5 in the same size/collection. Same with my blazers and sports coats-- $$$$ clothes for $ so long as you don't mind washing them and wearing used stuff.

Seconding brooks brothers. I have shirts from them that I got as a high school graduation gift that still fit and look brand new.

They have a variety of fits and patterns.

They are on the expensive side but because they last.

Lands End has good mens shirts in tall sizes.

how big around is your belly? if you have a belly vs if you are relatively flat/slim is going to make a big difference in where you can shop. shirts for big and tall are not that hard to find. tall but not big is a lot tougher.

Just get it made to your measurements. I would recommend Proper Cloth, which I use

When I need tall sizes, I go to SSLR, J. Crew, and Eddie Bauer. I don't really like any of them, but if you're tall, you don't have as many options unless you want to wear really big clothes. I really like Asket, but their prices are very high, especially when you add in the import fees to North America, so I rarely shop there.

For tall our go to is lands end. I think that other than random luck if you need tall, buying it for life comes second to buying clothing that fits. I’m tall and the family is all super tall. It’s a constant issue with clothing.

Jos a bank has really long shirts. They also have multiple different “fits” so you can get a long shirt without having is be too wide.

Their stuff always goes on sale for as much as 50-75% off so you gotta shop the sales.

I'm 6'5" and finding well fitting shirts (or clothes in general) comes with the territory. It gets more challenging if you are a slender/athletic tall as bigger sizes that fit the torso and arm length tend to also widen out and have a lot of extra fabric if you don't have a stomach for it to wrap around. Here are some recommendations I have:

  • Figure out your neck and sleeve size, as these are commonly used to size shirts for men and can be useful depending on the button down you are looking for. Usually more oriented towards dress shirts. For reference, I am usually a 17 neck 35/36 sleeve.
  • Get a feel for different 'cuts' offered by brands (e.g. relaxed, slim, trim, etc.)
  • Some shirts will only be offered in S/M/L/XL sizes so focus on the L and XL.
  • Brands I have had success with:
    • Amazon Goodthreads (affordable, decent fit, can do Prime Wardrobe to try them on)
    • J Crew (sometimes cut is unflattering)
    • Banana Republic (have actually had decent luck here)
    • Rhone (just tried on some of their collared shirts, very comfortable and stretchy, but pricey. Material is thin so my chest hair was showing).
    • Ll Bean (often have tall sizes, but I find their shirts are cut more boxy and tend to billow out)

Good luck!

Patagonia and La Sportiva for casual, Wrangler rock 47 for nice stuff (I dress like a hick), carhartt for work wear.

I’m 6’5 260lbs- long arms, short torso for my height. For button downs, I’ve had great luck with Jos A Bank. And if you watch the website, they can be picked up for $20 ea.

Not sure this is the fashion you are looking for but my tall man buys all his shirts at American tall. Or picks brands with tall sizes.

American Tall - they make men’s clothes specifically for men 6’3” to 7’1”

I’d recommend J. Crew if you want something with brick-and-mortar locations with multiple fits. Their mainline stuff isn’t a bad value on sale, but their elevated Wallace and Barnes line is worth the extra cash.

Other brands up a price tier you could consider are Spier snd Mackay (out of Canada; $8 returns on shirts) or Todd Snyder.

I love my Land's End sail rigger oxford cloth button downs. You can dress them up or down, they look great with everything, they're high quality, affordable, and the slightly heavier fabric makes them a little more hard wearing than the average dress shirt.

poshmark, local thrift stores are good places to start and not break the bank.

Brands I look for- Eddie bauer, LLBean, Brooks Brothers (obv if I come across a filson, Woolrich or Pendleton, on the look out be those are more rare).

As others have said, EBAY is another good place for some of this.

I’m not as tall as you but I’ve found success with Corridor NYC (XXL). They are longer without being too wide.

I don’t consider most of my shirts to be BIFL, but I do tend to get quite a bit of life out of them before they get too tired looking.

Unuckit; for the last few years I have been buying from them. They are really great and run specials with amex card most of the time. like the name suggests, you can wear them with out the need to tuck them if you are esp. shorter. I'm 5.8 and most of the other brands are too long for me if I want to wear without tucking. ymmv

J. Press has the best button down shirts I’ve owned. If you can find vintage Made in USA Brooks Brothers those are nice as well.

Asket maybe? They have letter sizing, but you can also choose between short, medium and long in length on every garment.

I bought expensive ones from Men's Warehouse and one fell apart in the weirdest way after just 10 or so wears and washes. It was like 3 years old, though, so they didn't replace it.

My favorite bifl brands were gitman brothers and seeker. I actually passed my decade-old gitman shirts up to my dad and they're his favorite. Now I like seagale but I wouldn't say it's bifl quality. Outlier is high quality

6’4” here. Not sure if BIFL but fit wise I’ve found luck with Banana Republic XL Tall. Best of luck!

Costco’s Kirkland button-downs are surprisingly well made. I’d say better than current brooks brothers non wrinkle but not say early aughts brooks brothers. Limited fabric choices but a great value for the money.

Duluth is good but beware the vanity sizing. Their Best Made items are traditionally sized.

I’m 6’5 I’m in the edge of most tops not fittings. Gap, Banana Republic might not be BIFL but they have tall sizes in many styles.

bapadious t1_jcnacce wrote

You should seek out a specialist store for bigger guys. Their clothes are made differently to normal clothes. Like, you may have to buy a 3xl for in a normal shirt, just for the added length for your torso. But it’ll probably be huge on you if you are a skinnier guy. Where as these places will have shirts that are made with a longer torso in mind, but not baggy.

I used to shop Burlington until they removed their dress shirt selection. Once you know your size, it's pretty easy to get clothes that fit great. For instance, as a tall guy myself, I just order 16.5 x 34/35 shirts in a slim fit style. They fit every time, regardless of manufacturer.
