Tall, Not Big

For men 6'3" and over with slim or regular builds.

Each piece adds the length where a tall frame needs it—sleeve, torso, rise and inseam—without adding two sizes of room through the shoulder, chest and waist.

Pieces without a price here are estimated at fit & fabric.

Why normal sizing fails

Mainstream tall shirts add two or three inches to an average torso, then stop their height range where this shelf begins. Cuffs still sit above the wrist and hems pull out when you move.
Sizing up buys a fraction more length by widening the chest and dropping the shoulder seam, which creates the tent shape tall men describe.
A tailor can shorten a sleeve or hem. There is almost no cloth to add to a short cuff, rise or jacket body.

How we get your fit

Tell us your height and chest, plus your waist, sleeve and inseam if you know them. Width comes from your chest on a shirt or jacket and from your waist on trousers, so give us the waist if you are buying chinos or jeans. Torso, sleeve, rise and leg length come from your height and your own lengths.

Questions

Is this made to measure?

It is made to order to your proportions. We adjust the pattern's lengths and proportions to your numbers before we make it.

What if it does not fit?

A piece with a price lists what happens if it misses. For the others: if a delivered garment misses the promised fit, we remake it or refund you.

How long does it take?

A piece with a price lists its timing. For the others, timing is confirmed after technical review and sourcing.

Can I change the design?

Yes. Customize opens the garment in our studio where you can change color, fabric, details and artwork. Your fit is kept separately, so design edits never undo it.

Tall, Not Big is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
