Tall people, where do you get your shirts!?

[PermaChanged]

I need to get some new shirts for work but ever since losing weight my height is causing me issues.

Previously I'd wear a larger shirt to accommodate my chest and neck size which would also give plenty of length, but now that I've slimmed down the shirts are too baggy around those areas for the right length. If I get something that fits my neck and chest the shirts are too short and come un-tucked easily and the sleeves are also too short.

Being in Guernsey we don't have a huge selection of places but we do have Next and M&S if that helps, although the tall versions aren't kept in stock so would need ordering - are these any good?

Couple of quid a shirt.

The M&S long ones are good.

Have you tried slim or tailored fit shirts? I have a thick neck and am quite long bodied and slim fit tends to be perfect for me. Cant stand baggy shirts.

Thomas pink

their online shop is great, imo

I've never had an issue with Next's sizing, I'm 6ft 3 and pretty slim.

I tend to go for TM Lewin or Savoy Taylor Guild. I'd chose somewhere like that (or Thomas Pink above if you can afford it) over somewhere like Next.

Calvin Klein shirts. Properly slim fit and long. Normally you can get 3for2 or half price in Moss Bros sales. Should be able to get them delivered go Guernsey. Thomas pink are awesome but they have about 3 superslim fit shirts of totally different material than the proper shirts (their slim fit isn't slim, it's just a tighter fit for larger people).

My last few shirts came from the TM Lewin website and they're great. Not that I'm tall mind, but they're very good quality shirts.

Im not too keen on next shirts these days, i'm tall and slim and find Moss bros are decent price/quality.

What height are you? I'm just under 6ft 3 and don't find it a problem to be honest.

I'm not that tall, around 1m84 but I have a slim waist (under 33") and broad chest/back (46"+) - finding a shirt that isn't like tucking a tent into my trousers is hard to find.

I find that TM lewin fitted shirts are pretty good.

I have also lost weight from a chunkier tank to a more agile lean tank and so what I did is get some darts put into my shirts to make them fit better. Not as nice as a properly fitted shirt but better than nothing.

TMLewin, I used to get them shipped over to Australia as they had free worldwide shipping (maybe still do)

I was paying something like £100 for 4 shirts.

You would probably fit into corset well. Just saying. Look well pretty....little bit of make up and bingo.

I second this. 6'5" and not fat, the M&S shirts fit lovely.

I've heard it can be a tall order to find the right shirt......
