If you think you are tall, perhaps you’re short compared to the world’s tallest man. The “Today Show” had Sultan Kosen, the world’s tallest man on their show this morning with the Guinness Book of World’s Records to present him a plaque as the “worldest tallest man.” Standing at 8’1″ tall, Sultan lives in a small town in Turkey.
He was diagnosed with an overactive pituitary gland condition that caused him to grow uncontrollably. Sultan had a tumor on his eye that was putting pressure on his pituitary gland. The tumor has now been removed.
Sultan says, “Up until now, I’ve really had a difficult life, but I’m happy. From now, I’m really going to have it a lot easier.”
You can read the entire transcipt here. We wish Sultan well on his world tour!

Make Your Own Custom Jeans
If you haven’t checked out Make Your Own Jeans in a while, perhaps it’s time to give them another look. They have some of the most affordable custom made jeans for men and women. At only $49 a pair, you can’t beat their prices. Two years ago I ordered a pair of custom made white jeans. I thought the whole process went rather well and I was satisfied with the product. I think it took close to a month to get the product, so that was the drawback, but it was worth the wait.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that they also offer: custom made shirts, custom made suits, jackets, vests, pants, skirts, shorts, and I’ve probably missed some other items!

I recently spoke with Harry, the owner of Make Your Own Jeans. Here are the tips he gave me on how to get a custom fit for tall people:
- “Each product page has the gender field where you can choose male or female , our designers give the cut to the garments accordingly.
- For the custom made suits length , one can enter the length field any length he or she wants and if someone wants to give specific armhole measurements they can give it in the comment box of the product page. Feel free to use the comment box to describe any specific measurements you need.
- For ordering shirts or for any other garments, just give the measurements and we will make it accordingly. For a more accurate fit, we are now accepting “FIX” measurements too for our shirts. On the chest and stomach area you can specify the exact chest and stomach measurement you want.”
