Gloomy day for my wardrobe

Eddie Bauer Outlet has t-shirts on sale for $10, which was awesome... until I got home and realized they took 1.5" or so off the shirt lengths for tall sizes. That was discouraging, and I'm afraid that might be their entire line. Ow.

Meanwhile, Amazon.com sent me a link for a sale on Levi's 550s, which come in extended lengths. Unfortunately from the reviews, it looks like at least one of their suppliers dumped blemished/second quality goods, so I'm avoiding that as well.

Might be time to see if JCPenney's in-store selection is still good. I've been surprised in the past, as they tend to sell things in sizes no one else does. That said, I've also seem frankenstein-cut shirts, that were a pleasant +4-5" long, but had the shirt pocket 4-5" lower down, which put the pocket between my belly button and nipples.

Oops?

British Pants!

Alto Clothing was pointed out by a friend, and they stock pants exclusively in 36" and 38" lengths. Zing! They seem to have a fierce collection of ugly shirts, which my girlfriend adores. On the minus side, they're in the UK, and shipping is 15 quid. That's $20ish right now, but still, 36 and 38 inseam is a niche, niche market; I haven't seen cargo pants in 36, ever!

Motorcycle Jacket

Okay, Motoport/Cycleport seems to make custom textile jackets, although they're pricey. $400 + $200 for the liner. Really debating on this one, as that's about twice what I figure it's worth, but it'd probably fit significantly better than anything else I've found. For anyone else staggering across this who's maybe not as tall, the gold standard might be the Aerostich stuff; they'll do a semi custom, but not a full custom to stretch quite this far. For leather, Vanson came highly recommended, but they'll do any number of options, but not necessarily add length?

If anyone's looking for the tallest of the non-custom talls, Tourmaster's jackets and Fieldsheer's pants seem to do me well so far.

Russel Dri-Fit Athletic Shirts

So, I ordered from Amazon:

Russell Athletic Men's Big & Tall Dri-Power Peformance Crewneck T-Shirt

The comments didn't lie. I ordered this at Large-Tall, and a conservative estimate puts it at XXLT, probably more like XXXLT. Omar the Tent Maker had extra fabric, and he decided to add it here. On the plus side, I wouldn't call it tall, but Extra Tall, so call this (LT) a XXXLXT.

Going to have it taken in, so I have one shirt that actually pulls below my beltline while I'm on a bicycle. Still, the hunt for extra-long athletic shirts goes on.

Tall athletic shirts?

I love the polyesterish fabric athletic t-shirts, that kinda wick the sweat away from ya. But I can't find them in tall sizes. The best I had was an REI shirt from five years ago, but the cut (as of four years ago) is about three inches shorter at the waist. (Ahck!)

Eddie Bauer makes a shirt that's a compromise, but it's also pretty notably logo-ed, which I'm not a fan of. Speedo made a shirt I liked, but I can't find duplicates of it.

Any ideas, oh reader?
