Request: Recommendations for brands for taller builds
Hey folks,
I was wondering if folks had any brands or stores that they particularly enjoy or find have sizes for the tall.
I've been doing a wardrobe refresh through Torrid, but keep finding the sleeves stop inches before my wrist. Finding masc clothing is less of an issue, but femme clothing or fun shoes tends to be a longer or less fruitful shopping trip for me.
Add on to this...
Anything in the realm of shoes for people with giant feet? It's hard enough shopping for men's shoes in a US 11.5 with 6E width, be nice to go into transition with some options. (The feet will probably shrink a bit when I lose a good 30-40 pounds but still)
I thought about posting this comment earlier, canceled it, then I saw a picture of some socks with the model wearing these cute boots with a leaf pattern on them and... I want them. I highly doubt I could find a pair for myself. But... want.
1I am a men's 12w and I can get my feet into the largest size from Torrid. I'm not sure if it is a combo of height/weight, but I can only go about 2 hours in them before I need to give my feet a break.

ASOS have a tall line and even their regular length pants are pretty long, in my experience. I'm 6ft and don't even need the tall ones.
1I'm taking an initial look and their catalog looks solid. Thanks for the recommendation.

I found this website that specializes in men's and women's tall clothing. I've never used it before because I'm not tall, so check the reviews.
1They look to have some nice standard pieces that would make a good wardrobe foundation. Their men's stuff looks pretty good too.
Thanks for the find.

Old Navy's tall line is really good for the prices! All my jeans and a few of my shirts are from them, though I haven't bought anything longsleeve from them yet.
I've had mixed luck with Long Tall Sally – their sizing is really inconsistent, and returns are rough since they're not US-based. But the couple of items I've bought that have fit well have been nice!
1My partner and I had gone through old Navy for pj pants around the holidays. It is good to know they have a tall section to scope out.
2I've never seen stuff my size in-store, but online they have one of the more inclusive tall size ranges I've seen (a lot of brands assume that if you're tall you're super skinny, while Old Navy's tall line goes up to size 20).

I have this same problem! Being 6' tall and broad-chested sucks. XD
1Oh no. I didn't even consider shirt sizing re: already broad chest and HRT... that's gonna be such a problem at some point o_o
1Not going to lie that is a big factor in me considering HRT. The women in my family have been well endowed, and I already get enough back problems from having to take care of my two year old.

Might depend on where you are located, but Long Tall Sally is great for tall feminine clothes if you are in EU or UK.
1I'll scope them out, but I am state side at this point in my life.
