Clothes for lofty

Post by sazzie » Sun Oct 12, 2008 2:42 pm

OK so I've seen a lot of tall men in Finland, but so far havent seen any clothes shops for tall sizes. I went into Mr Big (the obvious choice) and was greeted with a blank stare when I asked for tall T-shirts for my 6ft 6 hubbie. The lady showed me tall jeans, then told me you cannot buy tall tops or shirts. If thats the case then there must be a lot of men walking around with comfortable jeans but the "cropped" t-shirt look :wink: :lol:

So my question, obviously, is where are the tall shops?

I seem to remember in Jumbo opposite Mr Big there is another shop for tall people. But I am 6´2" and I many of my t-shirts are way too long... are you sure he cannot have normal sizes... my Dutch friend is 218cm tall and he says he wears xxl tshirts
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

which shop sells bigger tents than partio-aitta
theres also http://www. bigformen.fi
and if you go to Halonen, they have at least in suits A and B into big sizes

and before you start whining of the prices just do like the all the rest and order online http://www.bigteeshirt.co.uk/ and just e-baying
even with the postage its cheaper than trying to loose your wits at Stockmann Hullut Päivät... actually I would pay *more* not to have to go out shopping...

My fiancé is 6'6" and is quite happy to wear regular size L/XL t-shirts and button-up shirts, never had a problem with those. Perhaps OP's hubby has got a very long back = low waist?
