Affordable Stylish Gifts for Tall Men
Here at www.ClothingTallMen.com, we're convinced that tall men can find stylish clothes that fit. So when we saw Esquire Magazine's list of affordable stylish Christmas gifts, we could not resist the challenge of finding all of these stylish items in tall sizes . . .
Stylish Tall Jeans
The stylish gift list started with a pair of selvedge jeans. As denim afficionados will know, selvedge (or selvage) is the real-deal for denim. Woven on traditional looms, it is hard-wearing, has a distinct appearance and is used in exclusive vintage and premium jeans.
To find selvedge denim in a 38 inch inseam we had to go all the way to New Zealand as the the J Crew pair featured in Esquire's list was only available up to 34 inches in length (a disappointment from J Crew, which otherwise has a good selection for tall slim men). Ande Whall is well known in denim circles for producing hand crafted denim made of renowned Japanese selvedge - all for the same kind of price as a top-end pair of mass-produced fashion jeans. Shown below is the Cougar fit. These jeans are sold 'raw' and slowly wear in, but be aware that they shrink by as much as one inch in length.
Update: After writing this post, we were pleased to discover that US denim experts Self Edge offer several premium denim labels that include jeans with an inseam of 35" and longer. These include Iron Heart 301s, Dry Bones x Self Edge, Imperial SEXI14 and Strike Gold.
Classy Tall Tweed Jacket
A versatile addition to any wardrobe, a durable tweed jacket would make a great Christmas purchase. Esquire opted for a classic Brook's Brothers
Donegal tweed sports jacket. That does come in a long size from 42 - 46 inch chest, but with our eye always out for a bargain we couldn't resist recommending the Executive 2-Button Harris Tweed Sportcoat from Jos. A Bank which currently has over 50% off. Made from virgin wool handwoven in Scotland it's a true classic design, updated slightly to a more modern styling. Search for item "14338" after clicking the middle picture above.
Clarks Wallabee Boot
Super comfortable and practical even for outdoors use, the Wallabee has moccasin style in boot form. Available in warm neutral sand suede (picture above) or in brown leather or suede. Shoebuy is one of the few suppliers to offer Clark's Wallabees in sizes up to 15 and in eleven styles, both boots and shoes.
