Tall Personal Shopping: Men’s 40 Inseam Pants (Non-Wool)

By Krista Mayne June 30, 2012

I received a personal shopping request from Amy. She is shopping for her 6’5″ tall husband who has a 32″ or 33″ waist with a 40″ inseam. She has checked out our section of men’s 40″ inseam pants and desires a pair that is machine washable for work and is non-wool.

The best suggestion I have for you at this time is to order a pair of Custom Made Chino Pants from Tailor Store. Prices start at $69.95 which is excellent for custom made pants. The Tailor Store is is Sweden, but surprisingly your order should arrive in 15-20 days.

Choose from many fabric choices in classic or trendy chinos. While you are there, you may also be interested in their Design Your Own Dress Shirts and Design Your Own Polo Shirts.

Tall Personal Shopper: For a Tall Couple

By Krista Mayne June 8, 2012

I received an email from Heidi. She is looking for clothing recommendations for her 7′ tall boyfriend.
Heidi says, “He is well-built and trendy, but has a hard time finding things that fit his torso, arm length and inseam…without the clothing being enormous. He has a 38 inch waist and would like to wear nice jeans. I’m guessing he has a 38-inch inseam. His shirt size is XL Tall. He’s 29 years old. He also has size 17 feet. I’d say his style is sort of Gap or Banana Republic. He likes to wear button down shirts with jeans and nice shoes.”
First off, I suggest you browse through our men’s tall clothing section as you will find these items including men’s 38″ inseam jeans.
Below are some items I’ve hand picked for your boyfriend.

Heidi’s also ready for for some personal shopping recommendations for herself.

“I, however, am 5’10 and a size 4 in dress, 6 in pants. I have a 35 inch inseam. (Usually get size 27/35 jeans from Buckle…but they’re SO expensive). I have more issues finding dresses where the waist doesn’t sit on my rib cage. I want to wear modern, simple, classy clothes that fit..”

Tall Personal Shopper: Soccer Shorts for Tall Thin Guy

By Krista Mayne January 28, 2012

I received a request to try and help find some longer length soccer shorts for a tall teen. He is 6’4″ tall and has a 32″ waist.

Soccer shorts generally do not have a long length. The longest inseam I can find are about a 10″, which is not very long. I hope I’m not off base, but I suggest you go with basketball shorts. I think it’s better to have longer shorts to avoid the “bird legs look”, then to have the so called “soccer shorts”. The basketball shorts have longer inseams and look similar to many styles of soccer shorts. Here are some I suggest:

Hoop Shorts 12″ inseam

Rose adizero Tech Shorts12″ inseam

Nike - New Money Short (Black/Black/(White)) - Apparel

Nike – New Money Shorts 11″ inseam

adiPower Dwight Howard Shorts12″ inseam

Pro Model 3 Hype Shorts 12″ inseam

Nike - Hustle Short (Black/White/White) - Apparel

Nike – Hustle Shorts 11″ inseam

Nike - Spike 11 Short (Black/Anthracite/Reflective Silver) - Apparel

Nike – Spike 11″ Shorts

Tall Personal Shopper: Mens Long Rise Jeans

By Krista Mayne December 15, 2011

Here is the latest Personal Shopper Request:“Krista, I stumbled across your website after learning today that Lands’ End no longer offers the men’s long-rise jeans and plain front chinos that I have been buying for my husband for at least 20 years.
I’m hoping you can help me find long-rise jeans and/or chinos in size 35″ (or 36″) waist and 33″ inseam. My husband is 69 years old, 6’4″ tall and weighs about 160 lbs. He has a long torso, thus the need for the long-rise. He prefers his jeans in medium to dark blue colors, and is not fond of “distressed” denim with the bleached-in wear marks. We have been spending $50 to $70 for his pants at Lands End, but would spend more if necessary. He lives most of his life in jeans or chinos, so I will be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. – Jackie”Jackie,It’s extremely frustrating when a product you have been using for years, suddenly is discontinued. I feel your pain. I had been purchasing custom made women’s dress shirts from Lands’ End and suddenly one day, they quit selling them.
I think you will find good luck with the following items from Eddie Bauer. You will have to go up to a 36″ waist.
