How Longshot Apparel Differs from the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 12:32 PM

A common problem that tall men face is finding clothing that fits appropriately through both their shoulders and their waist. Particularly if they require a slim fit, they often find that shirts will look good in one area but not in another.

Our black Lawson long-sleeve shirt is the answer to many of these problems. Featuring a 37.5-39 sleeve and a 17-18 neck, this classic, casual oxford shirt has a tailored appearance but still contains a little extra material to ensure comfort. It is designed to fit perfectly on a customer that is tall and slim. In contrast, the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt was made with “big and tall” men in mind. It features back pleats that provide extra material for wider customers who need more room in their waist.

Longshot Apparel Lawson Oxford Shirt Compared to a Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 12:29 PM

If you are reading this, then we don’t have to tell you how hard it is for well-proportioned tall men to find shirts that fit well. A shirt that accommodates your stature hangs awkwardly around your midsection. Luckily, the Lawson Oxford shirt is designed specifically for taller men. Longshot shirts are available in sizes that fit men from 6′ to 6’10″. For example, the size 3, with a 16.5-17.5 neck and a 35.5-37 sleeve, measures 36-38 at the waist. Its slim fit will flatter any taller man. On the other hand, the Tommy BahamaLong Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt is a traditional big and tall casual dress shirt. Although it has several stylish features similar to the Longshot Apparel Lawson Oxford shirt, it is not designed specifically with the taller man in mind. The brand offers a few tall, but most men who buy the shirt will be stuck with the dreaded big and tall baggy waist. Don’t wait any longer to see what we mean. Start shopping for shirts from Longshot Apparel – the company that makes clothes that are simply tailored taller.

The Lawson White Oxford Versus Thomas Dean’s Textured Weave Sport Shirt

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 12:26 PM

If you’re a well-built guy between 6′ – 6’10″, you know what a hassle it is to find a great-looking, casual dress shirt that features a slim fit. With the huge selection of “big & tall” casual shirts on the market, chunky men have it made.

At Longshot Apparel, we believe that the tall, well-proportioned man deserves more. Our Lawson white oxford is a great example of a skinny-sized tall shirt: 100% Italian cotton fabric, U.S.A. construction, incredible quality, and classic styling. When we compare our Lawson to Thomas Dean’s textured weave sport shirt, well, there is no comparison, except for similar pricing. The imported Thomas Dean shirt is stylish, but it’s sized for the chunky guy, with a generous amount of fabric through the midsection. The Lawson offers our “tailored taller fit”; trim guys who need a 37.5-39 sleeve and 16-17 neck will find that our 2L fits perfectly, and it measures 42″ around the chest and 36″ in the waist, so you’re not dealing with yards of extra fabric.

You know that you deserve a well-made shirt that looks and fits great. Visit Longshot Apparel.

Breakers CEO Sport Shirt by Michael Kors Compared to the Longshot Apparel Blue Oxford

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 12:24 PM

Most brands that cater to the tall man seem to naturally assume that just because a man is tall he is big too. But there are many men who tower well over 6 feet and are quite slim. Tall and skinny men no longer have to worry about their clothes sagging because they now have high quality options from us at Longshot Apparel.

Our Lawson blue oxford is tailored for a taller fit with no hidden pleats and is made from Thomas Mason fabric. The shirt also features a 37.5-39 sleeve and a 17-18 neck, which is perfect for a slim man.Tall Blue Mens Shirt

Comparable to our Lawson blue oxford is the Michael Kors Breakers CEO Sport Shirt. It’s made of high quality fabric and features back pleats for the man that is looking for a more comfortable fit, however it is not necessarily the best fit for a man that is on the slimmer side.

We at Longshot Apparel make it our duty to bring comfortable yet classy dress shirts to taller men, so don’t wait any longer and order a shirt from us today.

A Comparison of the Longshot Lawson Blue and the Breakers CEO Sport Shirt from Michael Kors

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 12:21 PM

A tall and trim man faces limited choices in his search for a well-fitting, casual dress shirt. Because most casual-shirt makers focus their sizing and styles on the “big & tall” market, the well-built guy often ends up wearing baggy shirts that don’t let him look his best.

We created the Longshot Apparel Lawson blue with tall, skinny guys in mind; it has a slim fit that’s cut and proportioned just right. Let’s compare it to Michael Kors’ Breakers CEO Sport Shirt: The Breakers is a well-made, imported shirt that offers back pleats and a nicely hemmed shirttail; these features make it an ideal choice for tall men who want to hide extra inches on their midsection. The Lawson blue oxford is crafted right here in the U.S., from 100% Italian cotton. It’s available in our “tailored taller fit” size range, specifically designed for men 6′ – 6’10″; a guy who wears a 35.5-37 sleeve and 17-18 neck would find that our size 4 is a perfect fit.Casual Blue Tall Mens Shirt

The Lawson by Longshot Apparel Compares Favorably to a Breakers CEO Sport Shirt by Michael Kors

Michael Kors Breakers CEO Sport Shirt, Meet Lawson

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 11:53 AM

For gentlemen who have a height of over six feet, finding the perfect fit can be very challenging. Pants are too short; wrists are exposed. Traditional big and tall stores aren’t much help, either. There, shirts and pants are typically tailored to men who are both big AND tall rather than those who are tall, but not big.

Fortunately, Longshot offers the Lawson Oxford, a classic, crisp shirt that is cut especially for men who like the traditional, polished look of designer clothing.This button-down shirt features fused collars and cuffs, a hidden button collar, all in a style that easily accommodates your slender frame. The Lawson is also available in unusual sizes, such as 37.5-39 sleeve and 16-17 neck.

Both Longshot and Michael Kors offer high-quality clothing that is attractive and reasonably priced. Unlike the Breakers CEO Sport Shirt, the Lawson is specifically intended for gentlemen over six feet tall. While Michael Kors’ apparel is manufactured in China, Longshot’s clothing is made in the USA.

Longshot believes that taller men should not be forced to settle on poorly fitting, overpriced clothing. Check out the Lawson and other Longshot apparel on our website.

Longshot Apparel compared to Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt.

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 11:45 AM

Shopping as a skinny man standing over six feet is tough. There’s a big and tall section, but not a simply tall section. This makes all the clothes either too long in the sleeves or tent looking because they are so wide at the bottom. Sometimes, these shirts can’t even be tucked in and look right.

Longshot Apparel realizes this, and has designed a shirt just for the tall man. With 35.5-37 sleeve and 17-18 neck sizes, the fit of the Lawson Black shirt makes the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt feel like just a big sheet. The casual dress shirt is slim fit and gives that athletic look that every man wants to have when walking into work or a party.

Don’t wait any longer to have that confidence. Start shopping for the shirt that isn’t built for the big man, just the tall man, right now.

Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt Compared to Longshot Apparel’s Lawson Black Oxford

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 11:37 AM

When you’re over 6′ and trim, you know you’ll have difficulty finding a casual dress shirt that actually fits. Every men’s clothing retailer offers “Big & Tall” casual shirts, but tall men who don’t fit the “Big” profile are left in a lurch.

Black Tall Mens Casual Shirt

We decided to do something about this at Longshot Apparel. We believe that the well-proportioned guy deserves to look great. That requires a shirt that fits as good as it looks, such as our Lawson black oxford; it’s comfortable, timelessly stylish, beautifully constructed, and in our Tailored Tall size 2, it fits your 37.5-39 sleeve and 16.5-17.5 neck impeccably. For comparison, let’s consider the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt; granted, this imported shirt is handsome and nicely tailored, but unless you need a “big” size, you’re left out in the cold.

Isn’t it time you found a shirt with a long and slim fit for your tall and lean frame? What are you waiting for? Go to Longshot Apparel.

Compare Longshot Apparel to the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt

Tall men often have trouble finding clothing that looks good and fits well throughout the body. Many stores do not have a large selection or do not offer clothing with an attractive design.

Black Tall Mens Casual Shirt

The Lawson black casual shirt

Our Lawson black oxford shirt is an excellent choice for tall men searching for clothing with just the right length and style. This shirt has a 37.5-39 sleeve and a 16-17 neck, providing our customers with a slim fit and great look. Other name-brands, such as the Tommy Bahama Long Sleeve Bermuda Woven Silk Sport Shirt, are made for men who are both tall and big. They offer back pleats and side vents in their clothing that create a product meant for a larger customer. Slimmer clients often find that these brands do not look as good on them as they would like.

Come take a look at all of our clothing options and you will not ever want to go back to your regular brands again.
