Tall Mens Style is Not an Oxymoron

Tall Men's Style is Not an Oxymoron
Tall Men’s Style is Not an Oxymoron

Contrary to what many people believe Tall Mens Style is Not an Oxymoron.  One of our faithful customers who happens to be 6’5, tall dark and handsome once said, “Why is it that we can send a man to the moon but I cannot find a shirt that fits!”  It seems that all the menswear designers must be short and stout or waif like because all that is available to tall men seem to be tight, euro fitting shirts with high water sleeves or man dresses. At Longshot Apparel we believe that tall mens style needn’t be relegated to fat, cheap clothes found at Big and Tall stores.  We say, just say no to moderate, fat clothes and take back your rightful place in the style order—tall men are more handsome, more successful and more fun to be with (maybe those guys designing the stuff are jealous).  Tall, men’s style is an everyday obsession for us at Longshot Apparel.  We believe that tall fit men deserve to show off their fit physique and make a statement in style.  So together let’s right this fashion wrong and show those short guys that Tall Mens Style is Not an Oxymoron.

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.

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

Longshot Apparel’s Lawson White Compared to the Textured Weave Sport Shirt by Thomas Dean

By Gabriel on April 3, 2011 11:08 AM

When you’re tall and fit, the “fit” of available men’s shirts is often a problem. The average casual dress shirt maker assumes that guys who are 6′ – 6’10″ need yards of extra fabric around the stomach. It’s almost impossible to find a casual shirt that’s tailored for men who don’t carry that extra bulk.

At Longshot Apparel we aim to take the “big” out of “big & tall”. We’ve created beautifully tailored, skinny shirts for 6′ plus, well-proportioned men. The Lawson white oxford is a perfect example; it’s exceptionally well-constructed of 100% cotton Thomas Mason fabric, and designed to fit your 35.5-37 sleeve, 17-18 neck and lean body. In comparison to our Lawson, the imported Thomas Dean textured weave sport shirtis sized to suit a big man’s frame. While it’s similarly priced, it doesn’t offer the slim fit that’s ideal for a tall, trim man.

Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt Compared to the Longshot Apparel Leadon

By Gabriel on March 26, 2011 2:21 PM

When you’re a tall athletic man, people notice you and your clothes, so it’s important to always look your best. Finding high-quality, slim fit casual shirts in extended height sizes is a real challenge, so that’s why we’ve designed the Leadon casual dress shirt. Made right here in the USA with comfortable Thomas Mason Italian cotton, this snappy shirt is a great choice for both work and play. It’s offered in a range of sizes including 4L, which has a 37.5-39 sleeve and fits a 17-18 neck. The cuffs are fused, and the hidden button collar has a generous width to prevent tugging and distortion.

Another extended size casual dress shirt is the Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt, available in tall sizes 1X to 3X. This imported shirt features a collar with exposed buttons, hemmed shirttail, and a chest pocket. The center back pleat gives extra room through the torso, perfect for men with wide chest measurements.

When you’re looking for slim fit tall shirts, be sure to shop Longshot Apparel, where skinny men over six feet can find great quality American-made clothes designed to fit right.

The Longshot Purple Gingham Leadon Compared to Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt

By Gabriel on March 26, 2011 2:16 PM

It’s a small world, which is no help if you only fit in XXL. Tall guys always have to stretch to find clothes that don’t merely fit, but fit well. There are attempts to market to the big and tall consumer, but the selection can be slim. The Leadon from Longshot, however, is a casual dress shirt that comes in two sleeve sizesat a length that can be worn comfortably tucked in or out.

Navy Tall Mens Casual Shirt

For instance, the 35.5-37 sleeve with a 17-18 neck is perfect for a tall and skinny man who doesn’t want extra baggy fabric around his middle. It is also crafted in America. The Leadon is constructed in the USA from a soft Italian fabric. The Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt, on the other hand, is an imported shirt. Pick up the best fitting shirt you’ve ever tried on before you see it on one of your friends. It’s a small world after all.

Comparison of the Polo Ralph Lauren Gingham Sport Shirt and Longshot Apparel

By Gabriel on March 26, 2011 1:46 PM

If you are a tall and slim man, we at Longshot Apparel understand the difficulty that you will have finding a shirt that fits your particular body shape. Many shirts made for tall men are also made for big men, leaving those with a slim fit body forced to wear shirts that are too big in the waist and sleeves that are too long. The Polo Ralph Lauren Gingham Sport Shirt is a sophisticated style casual shirt and comes in several sizes for the tall man, but they all have the same size chest and waist. Their shirts are as much as six inches larger in the waist area than our Longshot Gingham Sports Shirt with a 17-18 neck size and a 37.5-39 sleeve size. This leaves a lot of extra fabric that needs to be tucked in and the shirt will still look baggy. At Longshot, we tailor our shirts so the casual shirts tapers down and fityour body shape better. Do not waste your time looking at other shirts when you can be assured that Longshot Apparel will fit you right every time.
