Top Style Tips for Tall Men - How to measure & What to wear

Step 1: How To Measure yourself for Tall Men's Clothes

Finding your perfect FIT is easy- just find an inexpensive, soft tape measure and get to work! Don't own one?  Click the above link- we offer them right online at FORtheFIT.

Neck Measurement:

Finding your collar size is easy! First, with a soft tape measure, either 1) measure around the base of your neck, or 2) measure the collar on your favorite shirt.  If you are measuring from a shirt, you will start from the center of the collar button and run the tape to the far end of the button hole. The resulting measurement is your collar size.

If you intend to wear the shirt with a tie, the size you select should closely match your exact collar measurement. However, shirts you intend to wear without a tie may be purchased slightly larger at the neck.  The larger neck offers comfort and a more casual look.

Chest Measurement:

To measure your chest, first relax your arms at your sides. Then, measure around the fullest part of your chest,  keeping the tape measure under the armpits. This is your chest size.

If you're shopping for a jacket or sports coat, in addition to considering your chest, you will want to ensure comfort and a better fit in the upper arms and shoulders.  Therefore, in addition to the chest measurement above, you will also want to know your overarm measurement.  First, measure around your chest and arms (at the highest point of your shoulder blades). This is your overarm measurement.  Next, subtract your chest measurement from your overarm measurement.  If the difference is 7 or more inches, then we recommend ordering one size larger through the chest, so you can comfortably move your arms and shoulders in the jacket.

Sleeve Measurements (Arms):

To find what sleeve length to order, start by bending your elbow 90 degrees and placing your hand on your hip.  Next, hold the tape at the center back of your neck. Last, measure across your shoulder to your elbow, and down to your wrist. Voila! You've just calculated your sleeve length.

Waist Size Measurements:

Figuring out what waist size  to order for pants is simple.  First, grab that soft tape measure.  Second, measure loosely around your natural waistline. Third, don't forget to breathe. Remember: if you hold the tape measure too tightly, you may pop a button the next time you take a deep breath or eat a sandwich! If you're in-between sizes, consider a self-sizer waisted pant (learn more about those here)

Here's how NOT to measure.  First, do NOT simply go by the stated or label size on your favorite pants. Second, do not simply measure the waistband on the garment itself.  That's because depending on the intended rise of that item (ie. whether it's supposed to sit AT or BELOW your waist), and also how it actually fits on you (ie whether you are wearing it as intended), the resulting numbers may have no relevance to your actual waist size. Instead, simply measure your waist itself.

Rise and Inseam: Measuring for Pants

Pant Length / Inseam:    

Inseam is the measurement of your pants length from the crotch seam to the bottom hem.  A professional tailor can take this measure for you. But, if you're more comfortable, you can easily find this measurement at home.  First, identify which of your existing pants fits you best.  Next, fold that pair in half-lengthwise and lay on a flat surface (a bed, table or the floor will work). Then, measure from the crotch seam (where all the fabric meets) and straight down the pant leg all the way to the bottom. This is your inseam. Wish your favorite pair were just an inch longer? Cool beans! Just add an inch to the number.

Trouser Rise:

The rise on your pants refers to the distance from crotch to waist. Simply fold your pants in half lengthwise, and along the front of the pant, measure from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband to find the front rise.  Rise is important because it determines where the pants sit on your body.  First, rise is most commonly used to describe whether the pants are supposed to sit on your body.  For example, low rise pants sit well below your waist, and high-rise just above.  But YOU also have a natural rise - the distance between your crotch and waist, that also needs to be considered.  If you are taller than average, you may have a tall rise.

If you are tall and skinny, you may find yourself buying regular, off the rack pants and wondering why they sit so low on your body.  You may have a tall rise.  If you are much taller than average, you may need to start with pants that feature a tall rise, and THEN shop for your perfect style (ie whether you want a tall/low rise to sit below your waist, or tall/standard rise to sit AT your natural waist).  See our featured Pant Rise Article for more details.

Rise is important because it determines where the pants sit on your body. First, rise is most commonly used to describe whether the pants are supposed to sit on your body. For example, low rise pants sit well below your waist, and high-rise just above. But YOU also have a natural rise - the distance between your crotch and waist, that also needs to be considered. If you are shorter than average, you may have a short rise.

If you are under 5'9" or shorter than average, you may find yourself buying regular, off the rack pants and wondering why they sit so high on your body (or, you're wearing them below the waist, and find the crotch is dragging super low). If so, you may have a short rise. If you find you have a short rise, you may need to start with pants that feature a true short rise, and THEN shop for your perfect style (ie whether you want a short/low rise to sit below your waist, or short/standard rise to sit AT your natural waist). For example, we offer both styles, including: classic fit (short rise, to sit at the waist) and slim fit (short rise, to fit below the waist).  See our featured Pant Rise Article for more details.

Exceptions & Final Sale Items

As we sell a lot of different items, there are a few exceptions to our returns policy and a few special cases to take note of.

Non-US orders:

If you are located outside of the US, please note that we will only receive your return items for refund or store credit (which you may use to place a reorder at your convenience).  Return shipping will be at customer expense (we will not reimburse for the cost of return postage) and we are unable to provide return postage labels for international orders. Because of the high postage costs, and additional complications (such as customs and duties), we are unable to process exchanges for international orders.  Thank you for your understanding.

However, if you have concerns about ordering or would like assistance identifying the best sizes and styles for you to ensure a great fit (with no need for return), please get in touch.

Defective Items:

Our items pass through rigorous quality control procedures prior to shipping out to you, but mistakes (though rare) do happen. Did we send you the wrong item or is there a problem with your order (such as a manufacturing defect or mislabeled item)? Simply select "Incorrect" or "Damaged" items as your reason for return so we can make appropriate arrangements with you.

Items that are Worn/Washed/Tagless/Damaged/Dirty/Stained:

Per our return policy, items received in worn, stained, washed damaged, tagless or in otherwise unsellable condition (that includes any items with lingering pet, tobacco or other smells, or covered with pet dander, other hair or excessive lint) may be, at our sole discretion:

• Rejected for Return (returned to sender or discarded- at our sole discretion),
• issued full or partial (minus restock fee) Store Credit,
• And/Or refunded minus a restocking fee commensurate with the damage or delay.

Dress Shirts:

We get it – dress shirts are tricky. You have to remove them from the packaging in order to try them on, and getting them back in the package if they didn’t fit is a bit of a project. However, if you have to send one back to us, please make every effort to repackage the shirt as it was shipped to you (to the best of your ability) and include all packing materials intact.

For dress shirts out of their original packaging, we can either issue store credit or a refund, minus a re-stocking fee commensurate with the damage (because the truth is, once you’ve opened the package, we probably won’t be able to re-sell the shirt).

Please Note:
We hate restocking fees, too. If we can tell you tried REALLY hard to repackage neatly, we generally waive or reduce any re-stocking fees for shirts, so please do your very best.

Non-Returnable Items

There are a few items on which we cannot offer returns for various reasons. These items are as follows:

Customized Items:

Items that have been personalized for you, including pants and trousers which have been hemmed to your exact specifications (fractional inseams, or inseams shorter than 26″ for short men’s trousers, and shorter than 34″ for tall men’s trousers) cannot be accepted for return.

Final Sale Items:

When we discount items for “final sale” they are sold on the understanding that they are not returnable. This does not mean that every sale or clearance item is ‘final sale’ Our FINAL SALE items are clearly marked as such in the title and product descriptions. Items clearly marked FINAL SALE are generally items that have been deeply discounted or discontinued and are being sold below our cost. Items sold on a final sale basis will not be accepted for a refund, store credit or exchange, for any reason whatsoever.

Hygiene Items:

We cannot accept returns of underwear or swimwear items. This is of course for hygiene reasons as these items cannot be re-sold once they have been sent to a customer.

Holiday Themed:

Finally, any items which are Holiday themed (such as Christmas sweaters, for example) cannot be returned once the Holiday has passed and must be received at least 1 week prior to the Holiday. If timely received, these items can be returned according to the rules of our standard return policy.

Returns During The Holidays

We understand that during the holidays you may be buying gifts and may not be sure about size or whether the person you are buying for will like the item. Plus, many of you like to get an early start on Holiday shopping and we can appreciate that, too! For this reason we have an extra generous returns policy for the Holiday period each year.

For any order placed between October 1st and November 14th, you have 30 days from purchase date to receive a cash refund, but you are welcome to request store credit or an exchange as late as January 15th.  For any order placed on or after November 15th, you have up until the later of January 15 OR 30 days after your purchase to return any of the items purchased for a refund, store credit or exchange.

All of which means you have plenty of time to present your gifts to friends and family and still get a refund, exchange or credit for an item that’s not quite right. For all other terms and conditions, please review full return rules above.
