[Closed] Longer bodied T-shirts - where?

Why do almost all tshirts follow a standard template? M, L etc all measure as slightly bigger but not on the length. So after a couple of warm washes you end up with a short tshirt. If you buy a size large you end up looking like your wearing a tent.

Anywhere that sells good tshirts for tall folk??

I have problems too, but found that Hugo Boss T-shirts are a good fit. We have an outlet shop nearby and I only paid £19 each top last time.
Mexx long sleeve t-shirts are a longer fit.

Spokeshirts are a good fit too. In fact came up too big for me and for the first time sent back and ordered a smaller size.

The problem with M&S (as with their shirts) is the designs are 😐

But also- they are longer and massoooove on the trunk. Their fitted shirts- I once took one back and put it over my coat to demonstrate how large it was.

Because most people aren't freakish gibbon-esque, stretched people. Actually… I have the same problem. I am also proportioned similar to a baboon. Howies is the answer. I know how complimentary you are about them generally, so you'll love that! 😀

How about one of these….

I am one of these - you may also call me lanky. I only ever buy skate t-shirts in medium - tend to be slim(ish) fit and long enough to cover my gibbon-esque belly button. However, if you're not 27 y/o and don't wear mostly skateboard attire anyway then you may look like you're having a mid-life crisis...they are also pricey, but last a lifetime!

Patagonia have a nice long body, and they're superb quality cotton too.

Slightly longer than most. Not crazy long, but definitely longer than most - check their sizing guide.

Just my local skate shop usually, but online look at www.routeone.co.uk or something similar. Pop into your local skate/bmx/snowboard shop if you have one and try some on. Some brands medium might be too baggy around the body, but overall I like the sizing of certain brands -WESC, Volcom, Nixon all do good mediums for me.

Trend down in that Lonjon is longer cut shirts and t-shirts so you can tuck them in yer pants and they don't ride up/out of yer pants when riding..
This ultimately means it'll hit the Norf in 2016.. You have a couple more years of builders bum'idge 😆

Welcome to 1988. 🙄

Don't tumble dry and stretch the t-shirts as they come out of the washing machine - to make them longer, they will then dry like that.

Have you thought of hanging weights off them when they're on the line.
