Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Long Shirt Sale

Famous Jermyn Street quality shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt are available in the sale for only $35. The sale ends on Sunday 15th August, 2010. Charles Tyrwhitt have recently added even more savings to the End of Season SALE so now you can save up to 70% on shirts, suits, ties, shoes and more. Some excellent flat front or single pleat cotton chinos are reduced by 50% in various colors including gray, blue and even lilac. These all come with unfinished inseam, which can be hemmed up to a 38 inch inseam.

I have bought shirts and pants directly from the UK and have always found them to be excellent quality. As a tall slim man, I find European shirt fittings less baggy than the US fittings, which sometimes leave me feeling that I am wearing a tent rather than a shirt. They do ship from the UK you have to wait a little longer for delivery, but you will not be disappointed by the quality.

Outside the US, you can order direct from the UK site, which delivers worldwide.

But this time, in contrast to my last visit to San Francisco in January, I did manage to find some quality options for tall men's clothing.

I started Lucky Brand Jeans, which was an unlucky choice. After dodging between low hanging ceiling ornaments, a helpful sales assistant pointed out that I was wasting my time, as longer jeans are only available online. I later checked and they have up to 36.5 inch inseam but with a fairly limited range of colors and styles. Buckle also stock some Lucky styles with the extra long inseam and when I looked, the Mesa style was on sale.

Eddie Bauer was also a success, with shirts and polo shirts in Large Tall and XLT sizes, but longer pants are only available online (up to 37 inch inseam). There were some nice casual summery styles that would probably suit tall slim men up to around 6'5".
