Today, I found out that shirt sizes don't get longer, they get wider. Being 6ft4, every shirt I try on makes me look like a cheap stripper. FML

Do you live near a Big & Tall? My husband is also 6'4 and we have to go there or order his clothes online. It's the same with his shoes...he wears size 14!

You should try a big and tall store. Don't worry, you don't have to be big to shop there. They specialize in both. Watch out though, shopping for clothes that fit taller frames can get a bit pricey. Good luck! Didn't see number one before I typed my comment.

Custom made shirts or wear dresses as tshirts

Why on earth would he wear a dress?

I guess #13 was leaving it open to the possibility that the OP may habitually wear women's clothing or perhaps manly gowns in public. I hate to be presumptuous myself, but I think the likelihood of this is low enough to be negligible, #13.

did anyone else think about the fact that maybe the op is a woman?

i dont see any indication of op being a man. it could be a woman, i could be wrong, just saying that everyone assumed it was a man, i think its a woman

Even if you can't see the word man...on the mobile app there is that little symbol with the arrow...meaning it's a dude.

Maybe #13 was thinking about those 80s dresses that are just overlong t-shirts. Don't see it working though.

How about a nice, manly kilt? They're dead butch and they let the boys breathe.

I laughed was too hard at this. I have that problem too though. And because I'm a girl I had to deal with crop tops being in style. I pretty much just shop online for my shirts.

6'9" here ... My advice: Go custom made! If you message me I can give you a few hints of where to look for stuff I gave up on "big&tall" stores a long time ago... these places only cater to fat and fatterer :-(

Not everyone can afford custom made. I know I can't.

Custom made can mean make it yourself, I make all my daughter's clothes and some of my own at a fraction of the price of buying them at the store. At the same time the price it would be to say, tailor a shirt, in addition to the price of that shirt can end up to custom made prices anyway. If you have nothing else to wear you need to make allowances for something a bit mor expensive.

I actually found Eterna brand shirts are only marginally more expensive, when custom made, than stock sizes. They aren't 20€ shirts, if that is what you're looking for, but usually they last me a good long time and are worth the price.
