American Apparel

They don't offer any tall sizes, but the company is known for making clothing that fits the thin well.

I don't like their t-shirts because I find the short sleeves are too short.

I do like the long sleeve shirts they offer. They are great for layering under t-shirts.

I haven't had any luck with any of their jackets or pants. They are all too short for me.

Most of their clothing isn't really my style, but there are a few items I've purchased many times from them in Medium Tall:
- Fleeces
- T-shirts (I shrink them as much as I can by washing and drying on hottest setting. Still a little wide at the waist, but a better fit than I've found anywhere else)
- Polos (Same shrinking and fit as t-shirts)

Worth checking out. They have something for most guys.

Incredible range of outdoor clothing in Tall sizes down to Medium Tall.

Unfortunately their Medium Tall is too long and wide for me for shirts. Might be OK for a jacket or other outerwear.

I still love them for the range of outdoor pants they offer in Tall/Long sizes.

I don't own of their clothing right now, but I've owned one of their jackets in the past. It was a very durable work jacket. I've never owned anything that's compared. This was before I knew anything about Tall sizes, so of course the jacket was really short on me. Now I know they offer many of their jackets in Tall sizes (down to Medium Tall), so I'm definitely considering grabbing one at some point.

Old Navy

Offers a range of their clothing in Tall sizes as low as Small Tall for t-shirts and a couple button ups.

Every time I order something from OldNavy.com I am disappointed by the quality and the fit. I don't know why I keep doing it every year or so.

I don't recommend them, but if you're looking for really cheap clothes in Tall sizes this may be the best option. Good luck.

Draggin Jeans (USA)

Offers Kevlar lined jeans in long inseams. Kevlar jeans aren't going to offer you a high level of protection, just a step up from regular jeans.

They offer a similar product to the company of the same name in Australia, but it is a separate company under a different ownership. Apparently they were originally under the same ownership, but have since split off.

The Australian company has continued development throughout the years and offers a high quality product with a modern style. The same can't be said of the American company. Their product has stayed the same.

I don't own any of the American company's products. They just don't compare with the Australian company in my opinion.

I own the Sport Comfort kevlar jeans, which come in a 34" inseam. I don't wear them very often. I view it as a compromise I'm not willing to take that often. When I ride, I want armor protecting me, not just kevlar.

Rev'It

European company that offers some of their riding suits and pants in Long sizes. They don't offer their jackets in long sizes. All their clothing is slim fitting when compared to the majority of motorcycle gear out there. It's definitely a company to consider if you're on LankyLife.

I have a Rev'ItCayenne in Medium. It's a little short in the arms and body, but still fits enough to get the job done. I also have a pair of their Ultimate pants in Medium Long. They are just a tad short when in a riding position. I believe they have a 33.5" inseam.

I'm hoping they will offer their jackets in long sizes soon.

My first motorcycle jacket was from them. It was a Large Tall motorcycle jacket. It was way too big for me and the quality was lacking. I wouldn't buy a jacket from them now. There is no compromise on safety and protection when riding a motorcycle. I'm willing to pay the extra price.

Johnson Leather

These guys are located in my home town of San Francisco. I dropped by to see what they could do for me when I was having trouble finding a leather motorcycle jacket that a) had protective armor and b) fit well.

They don't offer any of their jackets in Tall sizes, but you can get any of their styles custom made to fit you.

If you are local, you can drop by and they will do the fitting for you in about 15 minutes.

If you aren't local, they'll ask you for some measurements and they'll create a rough cloth mockup for sizing. When you receive it the mockup, you take photos of yourself wearing it and send them back to them and they'll adjust the measurements accordingly if needed. Apparently it's quite common for people to order custom leathers from across the country.

Note: Their jackets look much better in person than they do on their website. Don' let the photos on the website turn you off.
