Mixing and Matching Patterns

By Sally Bjornsen on December 13, 2011 9:33 PM

Mixing and Matching Patterns

The general rule to mixing and matching patterns is to have each pattern the same size. When wearing all the same pattern, they should gradually go from big to small. If everything is the same size, it makes the outfit look too busy, which in turn, makes it difficult to focus on one item.

For example, a windowpane suit will have the biggest windowpanes, the shirt on the other hand, will have smaller panes. To top it off, the tie’s print should be smaller than the shirt. Mixing different patterns can be tricky and can easily be messed up.

The suit doesn’t always have to be the largest, it can be the tie or the shirt sometimes. It’s all about creating different proportions that make everything work.

Perfect holiday gift for the tall, skinny man

By Sally Bjornsen on October 1, 2011 1:45 PM

I am always hunting for the perfect holiday gift for the tall, skinny man, or should I say “tall men.” My husband is 6’4″ tall and skinny and so are our two older sons, and we have a nine year old who just might out grow us all.  When the season rolls around I am left scratching my head as to the perfect holiday gift for tall, skinny men.  Since I am the only woman in the family it’s my duty to keep these guys dressed and looking good, lest they arrive at the holiday symphony concert in an oversized Nike running shirt and shorts that look like culottes.  Let’s just say I am on the sartorial hook and buying socks and underwear just doesn’t cut it.  This year I have found the perfect holiday gift for tall, skinny men–beautiful shirts from Longshot Apparel.    I’m partial to the Blue Lawson myself.  Our sixteen year old is going to look dapper in theVan Dyke and my husband, I’ve got the Gaston at the top of his list.

Fashionable shirts for tall men

By Sally Bjornsen on September 7, 2011 5:57 PM

Is there such a thing as fashionable shirts for tall men? We think so.  Gone are the days of having to look like you’re wearing a muu muu. Longshot Apparel makes fashionable shirts for tall men who are lean, opposed to fat.  No additional fabric to tuck away, no billowing sleeves to swim in. Other brands, such as Tommy Bahama, Cutter & Buck and Polo make tall shirts that are wider than they are taller, giving tall lean men fewer options when it comes to fashionable shirts for tall men.  AtLongshot Apparelwe believe that tall, fit men deserve to highlight their physiques rather than to hide them.  After all, tall, fit men spend a great deal of time trying to stay that way, isn’t it about time they are rewarded for it with fashionable shirts for tall men?  Finally, no more compromises, just great looking, fashionable shirts for tall men that fit!  Stand Tall!

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.

Navy Tall Mens Casual Shirt

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.

Longshot Apparel Compared to Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt

By Gabriel on March 26, 2011 2:13 PM

Have you ever gone shopping and every shirt you tried on was not just for tall men but for big men too? This can leave you frustrated and frequently you find yourself settling for a shirt that does not really fit. At Longshot Apparel, we understand this problem, and we have tailor-made our shirtsto fit the tall, yet skinny man.

Navy Tall Mens Casual Shirt

When you compare Longshot Apparel with other shirts on the market, you will notice the difference. The Cutter & Buck Studio Gingham Sport Shirt is a nice, casual dress shirt made with 100 % cotton. The neck size and even the length of the sleeves of both shirts are fairly similar to ours, but it is the chest and waist area where the biggest difference can be seen. The Longshot Gingham Sport Shirt with a 16.5-17.5 neck size and a 37.5-39 sleeve length is between 2 – 4 inches smaller in the waist and chest area making the shirt fit perfectly on the tall but slim fit man. When shopping for your next sport shirt, do not settle for one that does not fit; instead shop at Longshot Apparel for the perfect fitting casual shirt.
