<p>^ It’s all about the boxers.</p>
<p>S2 wears a belt AND his pants below his butt. Can’t stand it! Didn’t that look go ‘out’ already?</p>
<p>My son is just a bit over 6’, so we don’t have these problems (yet.) </p>
<p>For shorts, I recommend finding a local seamstress or tailor. I am very tall but curvy, it’s next to impossible to find dresses. Years ago I started buying fabric on my own and having dresses made. It’s about the same price as a nice dress from the store. </p>
<p>For a suit, while I cannot recommend a specific site, I’ve heard of a lot of men who have their suits custom made for not terrible prices. I think in most big cities you could fine someone. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>The owner of the local rib joint was so disgusted with the kids wearing their pants too low that he bought boxers for all the employees - and they say “Hecky’s BBQ” across the butt. Free advertising!</p>
<p>Another tall son here - 6’ 6" with very long legs - 36" inseam jeans aren’t quite long enough. As others have suggested JCPenny is a good resource.</p>
<p>American Eagle has some guys styles in Tall sizes - but online only. That should work for the tall skinny guys. And they are more fashionable that what you can find at JCP & Lands End.</p>
<p>We have the same problem with shorts. I look online at the younger guys stores (like AE and Aeropostale) and find styles with the longest inseam I can find. Last year I bought 3 pairs of identical cargo shorts at Aeropostale (in different colors) because they were the longest I could find. It takes some searching, but the stores that cater to young men have longer shorts. </p>
<p>I also have the same problem finding pants long enough for me. I cannot buy anything at the store that is long enough-- have to buy talls online to get a long enough inseam.</p>
<p>From reading these posts, it seems like we should start a clothing company for slim and long-legged men – with the focus on pants and shorts…</p>
<p>Even my younger son, who is only about 5’11 has trouble, because even the smaller mens’ sizes are too big around the waist, and the largest boys’ sizes are too short. I’d like to think this is the reason for the jeans low around the rear end, but am afraid it’s somewhat intentional :(</p>
<p>And I agree with helpingmom about womens clothes too. I’m not even tall (5’8), yet most womens pants are too short. LL Bean and Lands End seem to have phased out a lot of their womens tall sizes, though Gap has added quite a few. Eddie Bauer carrries almost everything in tall-- for men and women-- but their shipping is so expensive.</p>
<p>I have the same problem with my oldest son, who is 6’ 6 1/2 with a size 34 waist." He likes the khaki shorts from JCrew with an 11 inch inseam, which can only be purchased online. They come in two styles but my son prefers the more casual broken-in look. These shorts do not look short on him like the regular 9 inch shorts do.</p>
<p>We’ve had luck with Lucky Brand Jeans. They have smaller waist sizes (30,31) and long inseams, up to 37 inches. They are expensive, about $120 a pair, but I’ve had luck getting them 50% off. I don’t think they have shorts.</p>
<p>I think the inseams I found on the shorts at aeropostale last year were 12", but could have been 11". You just have to scour the desciptions on the websites. Again, look at the chains that carrry YOUNG men’s clothes. </p>
<p>American Eagle does have tall sizes, but online only, for jeans, pants, button down shirts and polos.</p>
<p>Check out Rochester Big and Tall. My H fits the “big” part–he’s tall too, but mostly he needs the XXL sizes. He’s found some very nice clothes at this store. It’s pricey but high quality. You can also order on-line if there isn’t one in your area. </p>

<p>Unfortunately my very tall son has short legs with a long torso so he needs pants with a lot of room from the waist to the crotch. Nobody makes pants that will fit his 35 waist with the other room he needs. He has to buy 38/32 pants that are HUGE around his waist. Even with a belt they sag, but at least he can sit down. Even “long rise” pants don’t fit right.</p>
<p>I too have told him he needs to make a lot of money so he can afford to have pants made just for him.</p>

<p>Just got an email from Old Navy and they advertised these: Men’s Double-Pocket Cargo Shorts (14"). I haven’t always been thrilled with Old Navy’s quality, but this might actually cover the knees of our tall sons!</p>
<p>I have a 14 year old son. Who is 6 foot 9 inches. I’m having a really hard time finding jeans that will fit him. I’m looking for size 42/42 but I can only find 42/38’s which is too small. I’ve tried the Big and Tall store’s and a host of others. So now I’m looking online but I’m still out of luck. Help…I’m open to suggestions.</p>
<p>^^ I know these are expensive, but you may want to consider having custom made jeans

Also I just found these 42x42 carpenter jeans from Dickies

<p>and you can have jeans custom made at Land’s end as well. The web site says they only go to 40" inseam, but I bet if you call them direct they can actually make them longer.

<p>S (6’6" 220lbs, not skinny, no butt, all legs) had very good luck with cargo shorts last year at our local Big and Tall. …but you’ve got to go early in the season.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s the skinny/tall thing that gets you. When 6’4" son hit 150 pounds, I thought that it would be better. Not really! Turns out that all of the added weight is from working out. His waist size is unchanged. (We are only peripherally related, it seems)</p>
<p>I don’t know how or why our son became so particular about fit, but he is. Shirts mustn’t be too wide, and shorts and pants mustn’t be too short. And the difference between too wide/short and just right seems to be about 1/2".</p>
