If you're a tall guy, you've likely tried on countless "tall" t-shirts in the hopes that they would finally fit ~ and they just didn't.
Surfing the "big and tall" section in department stores becomes a chore to find a shirt that fits and flatters you. If that sounds familiar, keep reading ðŸ«
Why "Big & Tall" Just Doesn't Work
The thing is: "Big & Tall" clothing is great for guys who are - well, big and tall. For the guys who are tall and wide in proportion, they have no problem with the "big & tall" sized clothing. After all, this clothing was designed with them in mind.
But what if you're tall -Â and not quite as big? For the tall, skinnier guys out there, "big & tall" just doesn't make the cut. Find a t-shirt that fits you length-wise, and you're left with far to much width (looking like a parachute). Find a t-shirt that fits you width-wise, and your stomach is flashing.
Tall and slim guys - can we ever win?
Thankfully, you don't have to settle. Responding to the cry of tall skinny guys across the nation, a few of us have taken up the honor of designing tall and slim clothing instead of tall and big...
What Makes Tall & Slim Different?
There are some obvious differences between the "big & tall" standard and "tall & slim" clothing. See how we compare the styles, fit, and feel of each below:
1. Width: Parachute Vs. Perfect Fit
Big and tall clothing is designed to fit wider men, which means when you put a t-shirt on, you'll be swimming in it. Sure, it might fit you height-wise, but on each side you have a huge flap of fabric akin to a flying squirrel.
Tall and slim t-shirts (like our bestselling 50/50 tall t-shirt) keep all the height you need without giving you extra width you don't. They're much slimmer than the average "big & tall" t-shirt. So what does that mean for you? Wearing something that finally *actually* flatters your tall slim build. Win!
2. Quality: Thin Material Vs. Comfortable & Soft
It goes without saying: "big & tall" companies typically skimp on the material they use for their tall athletic shirts (and others). As long as they have their boxes checked with size, quality comes second.
At TallSlim Tees, we make sure our t-shirts not only fit your tall skinny build, but feel great too. We use high quality materials and different blends for each of our t-shirts (for instance, our Tall Athletic Shirt is made with a stretchy triblend of tencel, polyester, and spandex).
Plus, you probably don't want to wear a baggy, unflattering shirt to the gym. You need a shirt that fits, shows off those hard-earned muscles, and makes you confident in the weight room.
3. Style: Baggy Vs. Flattering
Finally, "big & tall" shirts are designed to be baggy, which is flattering for the heavier built guys out there. But for us tall, slim dudes? Each baggy t-shirt or sweatshirt just looks ridiculous.
Wearing clothing that makes you feel confident in your own skin is hard to find - but so worth searching for. We designed all of our clothing to flatter those tall skinny men, so you can look classy and confident in everything you wear. You can't put a price on confidence!
