Ratio Clothing: Mens Custom Shirts – Nice Option for Tall Guys

By Krista Mayne January 24, 2014

I just came across Ratio Clothing, a company based in Denver, CO. They offer men’s custom shirts either online or you can schedule a fitting in their showroom. The prices start at $98, which isn’t bad for a custom made shirt. Choose from solids, plaids or stripes in a variety of fabrics.

In an interview in The Denver Post, the owner Eric Powell says, “I’m tall and fairly thin and have always had a terrible time finding clothes that fit. I’d tried custom clothing on a trip to Asia once, but the quality and choices left a lot to be desired. I had a background in technology and an interest in clothes from an early age, and I just felt like it was the kind of business I could tackle. While working fulltime for Deloitte, I started learning about shirtmaking and putting together the business bit-by-bit; building a website, sourcing fabrics, finding manufacturing, etc. Once the pieces of the puzzle were ready, I made the leap into the business fulltime. We started online, have shipped many thousands of shirts around the globe, been featured in Esquire and others, but didn’t have much of a presence here in our hometown. So, we decided to open a showroom.”

April Marin Womens Custom Made Suits & Dresses

By Krista Mayne October 28, 2013

I want to share with you another resource for custom made clothing.

April Marin sells women’s custom made suits and dresses for women up to 6′ tall. Make sure you take a look towards the bottom left of their menu for the custom made section and you can easily enter your height and measurements to get items made for you.

I’m not sure why they stop at 6′. If they are doing custom anyway, it seems like it may be easy to be able to make it for taller women, perhaps it’s something you could email them if you’re taller and love their clothing.

I would love to hear comments from anyone that has used April Marin.

Black Box Denim Custom Jeans

By Krista Mayne October 3, 2013

How would you like custom made jeans that fit no matter your size? Black Box Denim is setting out to be the next stylish custom made jeans company for guys and gals. However, they need your help! Right now they are running a Kickstarter campaign to get the necessary funding.

Join in with myself and Tall Swag as we have both pledged to this campaign. I’ve pledged at the level that I will be getting one of the first pairs of custom made jeans from this company. However you can pledge at any level starting at $1. If you have 10 friends that want a pair of jeans, you can join together and pledge $1000, thus each getting a pair for $100. This is a great deal!

Here’s a sneak peak at a pair of Black Box Denim Jeans.

My last pair made by Indi Denim, {sadly now out of business}, was my favorite pair of jeans ever as the fit was perfect! So supporting these types of companies that create awesome fitting products is HUGE!

Hurry and pledge now as there are just 14 days for this company to raise their goal of $25K and they are at the 10K mark right now! View more custom clothing companies here.

Men’s Tall & Thin Khaki Pants: Personal Shopper

By Krista Mayne March 25, 2013

Lisa sent me a request for tall personal shopper help. Their family is going on a cruise this summer and need help finding tall khaki pants for their teen sons.

Client: Age 15, 6’8″, Size 34″ waist by 38″ inseam

Client: Twins, Age 13, Size 30″ waist by 34″ inseam

Prefers: Younger looking styles, not the same styles as their dad wears.

I understand your pain. I have two teen sons and finding items in their sizes are a challenge especially that are hip and up to date. For younger looking styles avoid pleats, but look for flat-front and slim or straight leg styles. First off, I recommend for the best fit, you may want to try a pair of custom made khaki pants.

Custom Tropical Weight Khaki Pants or several other styles
from Make Your Own Jeans. Very affordable.

Ravis Tailor Custom Made Khakis, choose your fabric, and size.

UK store – Tailor Store has custom made chinos.

For ready made chinos:

Dockers website currently has several styles of khaki pants is size 34″ x 38″. But, the only tan one is pleated.

Dockers 30″ x 34″ inseams (many styles)

Lands’ End also has several styles of khaki pants that will fit all sizes. You can also get them unhemmed if you need them longer than a 38″ inseam. The above pair is a Plain Front Traditional Fit No Iron Chino Pants.

I also have a 13 year old son that wears a size 30″ x 34″. We had to find him a pair of pants for band and had to have them immediately. I found that this style of Calvin Klein body pants is slim fitting and the
32″ x 34″ actually looks great on him.
