T-shirts for tall men

Todd Shelton makes all-cotton crewneck t-shirts for men over 6'4". Each t-shirt is individually cut in the USA with sleeve lengths and body lengths scaled for taller men.

Why crewneck t-shirts fit poorly on tall men

Standard t-shirts are cut for a man between 5'10" and 6'1". A man over 6'4" wearing a standard t-shirt gets a body length that rides up at the waist and short sleeves that end too far above the elbow. The proportions are wrong before fit is even considered.

Todd Shelton cuts each t-shirt individually in the USA. Body length and sleeve length are selected at the time of order.

Body length for tall men

Todd Shelton offers body lengths from standard to 2 inches longer than standard in one-inch increments. Men over 6'4" typically wear 1 to 2 inches longer than standard. The hem should fall at the middle of the zipper. Full body length measurements are in the size chart.

Run the tape from the top of the shoulder seam to the bottom hem for your body length.

Sleeve length for tall men

Todd Shelton offers sleeve lengths up to 36 inches in one-inch increments. Men over 6'4" typically wear a 35 or 36 inch sleeve. For short sleeve, Todd Shelton offers a standard length of 9 inches.

For long sleeve, measure across the shoulders and divide by 2. Add the two measurements together. For example, if your sleeve length measures 28 inches and half your shoulder width is 9 inches, your sleeve length is 37 inches. For short sleeve, simply measure down the sleeve from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Sleeve lengths longer than 36 inches

For long sleeves, 37 inch sleeve length is available through Keys to the Factory, a made-to-order method with no returns. For short sleeves, 10 inch sleeve length is available. 3" longer body length is available. New customers should establish size and fit through Standard or Fit check t-shirts first, then exchange for Keys to the factory.
