Those of you with tall husbands - where do they shop please?

My husband is 6'4" and slim (32/33" waist - medium in T-shirts) Very slim long arms and legs - even with years of weight training his arms are in his words "weedy" - I think he looks hot but I know he'd feel so much better about himself in nice fitting clothes.

He has such a job finding:

  • trousers/jeans that aren't too baggy on his legs. Even most shops "slim" are loose fitting on him.
  • t-shirts that are long enough to stay tucked in (he commented today that he wished he had bodysuit tops like the one I had on)
  • underpants/jeans that aren't old man but are not flashing his bum crack if he has to bend for something.

I think being the generation we are any jeans that don't sit low on his hips just feel wrong to him.

If any of you have advice for shops to try please I'm so keen to hear. He likes to stay reasonably fashionable. M&S slim fit long length t-shirts work well so at least he has those but so many areas still for him to find stuff he likes and is comfortable in.

Off to google tall celebs and see where they wear their jeans.

Ds1 has very similar measurements to the ops husband. He has recently graduated and started a new job and needed some work shirts. Ds1 has long arms, broad shoulders but a very slim waist. After a lot of trial and error, we have hit the jackpot!

T.M.Lewis's do "super fitted" shirt where you can chose the length of sleeve up to 36 inches. They are a great fit!

DP is 6ft 5 - his jeans are all Levi’s. His height is in his legs, so tops are easier, just regular places like H&M and Zara for tees, shirts from M&S when he was going to the office. He has a few really nice jumpers from Kin at John Lewis, otherwise again it’s M&S, Next etc. It’s so long since he needed “smart trousers” that I can’t remember!

@Greytminds your husband is a similar build to mine

My husband is 6ft 4 although his arms and chest are much bigger and he has very long legs
He ( or rather I😂 ) get his jeans from G star RAW
I normally buy him a load in the same 2 -3 styles in the Xmas and summer sales so they are around £50 a pair rather than £100 and they got him perfectly .

For some reason most of G star clothes fit him really well
Even coats and shorts and underwear is a good fit

T shirts CK, G star, Paul Smith, TH
Boxers G star - CK
