Where to get quality big and tall M gear online?
Like many others on here, I'm a big fan of a lot of the new M apparel now that the program is with Nike/Jordan. With football season fast approaching, I realized I am in need of some new gear to wear around town, especially with the team coming to Dallas this year. Unfortunately for me, the M Den doesn't appear to be a good option given my height (6'6"), as they don't appear to carry B&T sizes. If there are any other MGoBloggers out there with good recommendations on where I can shop online for quality M gear in big and tall sizes, I would really appreciate it.
I tried Fansedge a couple weeks ago, because I had used them in the past and got a shirt that I really liked. But this time around when my shirts arrived, the colors looked more like Notre Dame's than Michigan's, and the t-shirts went literally halfway down my thigh. Looked more like a pajama shirt than something I could wear outside the house.
Nowhere.
I'm 6'5", 240, and for reasons unknown clothing manufacturers assume if you're tall you must also be insanely fat cause once you move beyond XL the tops only expand at the waist, not the length. So your choice is wear something that ends about your beltline (and I'm not really into wearing a Michigan halter top) OR something long that billows out like womens pajamas. Looking forward to hearing answers here. Hope somebody has had luck here cause I sure havent.
Laugh all you want you scoffers - the struggle is real.
The Dutch are the biggest people in the world. And they feel your pain. Can't anyone make an XL Tall?
I'm 6'4" and 270. The XXL Nike and Jordan stuff do fine by me. There a couple of those t-shirts and one or two of the new Jordan sweatshirts that seem to have a longer back. I have one of the $45 t-shirts with the M on one side of the chest and jumpman on the other. That one in particular seems pretty long.
I have seen some non-Nike Michigan stuff at DXL before so they may be a place to look.
As far as what mGrowOld said. I agree. When I was a little younger I rowed so I had a pretty big chest/shoulder and then smaller waist. I used to get my t-shirts tapered because of the aforementioned billowing effect. That said, the Nike stuff seems to be cut for more athletic cuts.
This will end well. I Love Us.
Asking the important questions...
I'm actually the exact same height as you, and I have the same problem. I still get t-shirts from the traditional sites and they tend to workout ok as long as you go for the tri-blend or polyester variety.
I'd love to be able to buy a hoodie or jacket or something that has long enough sleeves haha.
3 & 4XXL are designed for people of "normal" height (around 6'1" or so) but massively abnormal weight (won't even hazzard a guess here) so they dont fit.
I found Hanes white T shirts that are X Tall, normal waist and they're awesome. Maybe I'll make a block M stencil and I'll spray paint my own shirt.
NIKE...PLEASE MAKE AN XLT!!!
for me with standard sizes i end up untucking my shirt every time i lift my arms.
i'm 6'3" 220 lbs with a long torso and long arms so most 2xl stuff looks like i'm wearing my 6'8" dad's clothes and still isn't the right length.
Adidas wear. No thanks! I'll pass.
