What's out there for us tall guys? At 6'4", that virtually eliminates Japanese brands. Would prefer to stay away from MTM or crowd sourcing if possible. Both tall lengths and generously long tail/sleeve regular sizes are in play.

Did you mean shorts or shirts? For shorts, just scissor where needed and seek out a Motley Crue or AC/DC t shirt.

I hate, hate, hatety hate Metallica (whiny bitches) though, so I probably just swapped that in my mind. |

Both tall lengths and generously long tail/sleeve regular sizes are in play. Flat Head denim shirts are pretty damn long. Ask Griffin and I. We both had to have ours tailored to take the length off. |

" Would prefer to stay away from MTM or crowd sourcing if possible."
Good luck.
I have no idea but I'll be watching this thread for suggestions as I could use some as well.

I hate, hate, hatety hate Metallica (whiny bitches) though, so I probably just swapped that in my mind. I had tickets to see Metallica once but Hetfield cancelled last minute. They rescheduled but of course I couldn't make it when they came back through due to work. Then the whole napster thing and I feel you, they got soft. Would have loved to have seen them on the Puppets tour, that would've been prime. |

How long are the sleeves? I need something in the 26" range. Honestly haven't looked into Flathead much. |

Rogue Territory and Tellason both seem long enough for your height. I'm 6'2" and G's workshirts are probably fine too but break your crowdsourcing rule. Taylor Stitch should be fine too, just note that they love really tight cuffs but there's generally enough room to reposition the button.

Taylor Stitch should be fine too, just note that they love really tight cuffs but there's generally enough room to reposition the button. Funny, I usually look for tall shirts by default. But with Denim and Chambray, I tend to want one shorter as I don't tuck those. An untucked long shirt looks like shite. So I try for a middle of the road fit. At 6'-4", most of them are good for that purpose. When I get a proper long version, it's a tad too long and I'll tuck it - esp if I'm wearing a jacket. |

I had my Ratio chambray made 3/4" shorter than the OCBD I got from them for this exact reason. Sleeve length tends to be a pain though since I have a 6'8" wingspan. Even the 26" I referenced above is about an inch too short but I'm trying to be realistic about stock sizes. |

man..I don't own any flathead shirts but everything I've seen is sized really small. Granted I haven't looked at their denim shirts so maybe they are different? I can't imagine they would have anything that fits your chest size.
What specific center back length are you looking for? What's your magic number?

Damn basketball player wingspan at your height lol, can't really add much besides that the XL swift mills denim would prolly be too short from TS. Didn't try the XXL since im not that stocky. |

Yeah, the biggest The Flat Head shirts get is 23" pit to pit. |

Probably a 33" tail would be perfect assuming an inch or so shrinkage over time from laundering. I'd prefer it be able to handle machine wash/dry instead of cold soaking all the time. I've found a few shirts now with 32" back length but those definitely fall in the hand wash category. |

If Manny's sizes are the same as lawless I'd go with indigogene. I have a lawless Arizona shirt which is plenty long. I'm about 6'2". Epaulet NY's denim shirts are perfect in every dimension for me too.

Epaulet NY's denim shirts are perfect in every dimension for me too. Plus if you go with Indigogene you can specify your length. But he doesn't want anything made to measure (even though that would save a hell of a lot of time and effort with those crazy-long arms). |

He has pre made stuff now, though not much of it. If the arms are little long, like mine are on the lawless shirt, they will wrinkle a little at the cuff, which I think looks cool.  |
