Longer t-shirts for a tall teen?

16 replies

BewareTheRedNosedDragon · 16/12/2021 09:45

Ds is tall - coming up towards 6ft at 14 Shock and I've noticed his t-shirts are getting too short and showing a bit of his tummy. He is not slim and obv wears adult sizes. His go to t-shirts are H&M basic ones which he finds comfortable otherwise. He has sensory issues and not having a neck label or scratchy seams is important for him.

I would like to find a new source of t-shirts which come up longer but I don't know where to look. Or if any other style of the H&M ones come up longer and would be better for a tall lad. He has quite a long body, as well as being generally tall.
I suspect also that the basic H&M ones may be shrinking a little in the tumble dryer, but I have no option of not using it over the wetter months.
He's not keen on designs - prefers plain black.

Any ideas?

Have you tried ASOS? DS is almost 6ft 3 and that's his go to place. He's more legs than long body though.

Also Nike store has a tall range on their website

My DS 16 is 6ft and wears medium H&M T-shirts which definitely go past his waist. They're just the standard £3.99 ones. I don't tumble dry them. My DS is slim athletic build and has long legs maybe your DS has shorter legs and longer body.

Thanks - he is stocky - wide shouldered - and not slim as well as having a long body so I guess that is why.

Jack and Jones. Type in longline or oversized tshirts into Google. They are soft and labels can be cut off

DP uses the Men's ASOS Tall section. Really good length to clothing and in a good range of styles / sizes.

I buy Next tall t shirts for 6'3 15yo DS. ASOS is good too

ChristmasRobins · 16/12/2021 15:19

DS is 6’1” and M&S fits him well.

My DS is 6ft 5 and a bit and he buys his from Jacamo

EightNine2019 · 16/12/2021 18:18

2tall is good

Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep · 16/12/2021 18:18

I also came on to say Next tall range are excellent. Dp also got some from Edinburgh woolen Mill which are great. Will check label for brand later

BewareTheRedNosedDragon · 16/12/2021 21:22

Thanks - checking all suggestions!

Landsend do a tall range with plain colour t shirts. Otherwise ASOS or next

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/12/2021 22:08

Espionage. My dh is just under 6ft 4in and broad across the shoulders. These are a good length.

Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep · 16/12/2021 22:58

Apparently George at asda can be good but it's hit or miss - has the benefit of being cheap though

DelphiniumBlue · 17/12/2021 14:02

Jacamo does fits in regular and long.
