Banana Republic

Someone told me Banana Republic started carrying tall sized shirts. I gave up on them awhile back, because everything looked nice, but ill-fitting. Marked on their website is a "Big & Tall" section now, under "New Special Sizes". Apparently most of this is only available online, and here's the new sizing chart.

Long sleeve shirts gain 1.5", short sleeves gain 1.5" in the body and 0.75" in the sleeves, they add a 36" inseam pant (score!), and waists up to 44". Sounds exactly like the Gap's offerings as of five years ago, to kind of bring the brands (under the same ownership) more into one line.

The shirts don't help me, as that's still too short; back to Eddie Bauer for my polos shirts. The pants, though, seem a win, as that really opens up a ton of dress and business-casual options.
