Tall Shopping in the UK - 2Tall & Others

Every now and then I get news of a new range of tall clothes or a new store opening. Sadly, some of these do not survive for very long. One that caught my attention recently was 2tall,a UK web store for tall guys. I very much hope this store will stay around.

Right now, their range is not huge but covers the necessities and includes some items I have not seen before in the UK. With trouser inseam from 38 inches upwards and T-shirts with options for men of 6'8" and above, this is clearly not just another "Big & Tall" store. They have T shirts in tall and extra tall, casual shirts from Life & Limb, jeans in 38 inch and 40 inch inseam from Mustang and Mish Mash, a small selection of chinos and a good choice of shoes.

Bill's Khaki's : A Plethora of Pants with Extra Long Inseam

I had never heard of Bill's Khaki's until I did one of my regular checks on Sierra Trading Post for some tall bargains. It's a family business that has been producing all of its garments here in the US out of a renovated warehouse in downtown Reading, Pennsylvania since 1990.

All of their pants come unfinished (except jeans, which is a shame but there are plenty of other places to get jeans) which means that you can get a 36 inch inseam wih a cuff or even a longer inseam without a cuff. If you order via the website you can specify the inseam length you need. There is quite an array of colors, styles and fabrics, from a classic twill to more exotic seersucker or chamois cloth for the more adventurous.

Prices at Bill's are not the lowest and since I'm always on the lookout for a bargain I suggest you have a look at Sierra Trading Post Home Page while they have some stock left. They don't have so many styles but you may find something you like.
