Need looong t-shirts for my tall frame

[ThelmaLou]

I've purchased tall sizes from Eddie Bauer in the past. But they're just slightly longer than the regular shirts. By the time they shrink (100% cotton) there's not much difference.

 

I bought a stack of t-shirts in several different solid colors last year from Costco. They were really long and they were made by a company called Skinny Minnie. Sadly, these are no longer available. Apparently, these were the unprinted shirts that Skinny Minnie uses as a basis for their boutique creations. I guess they had an overstock, because they sold the solid ones at Costco. I even called the company directly. (It costs close to $40 to get the printed boutique version. Yikes! I just want a basic solid color tee that's long!)

 

Anyhow, I'm still on the lookout for some long, short-sleeved t-shirts. I prefer a more fitted shirt with contour, not just a boxy t-shirt. I like the shape of the Eddie Bauer tees, but the length isn't long enough.

Thanks!

I bought some at The Gap (not my fav. store, but...). I think I saw them in the ads for Kohls and Old Navy recently.

I agree with you that the Eddie Bauer tall t-shirts are not that long.

 

I love the teen t-shirts from JC Penney. They are not tall, but run really long. You will need to buy a few sizes bigger than normal because they are very fitted, (I normally wear an Eddie Bauer LT and I order the Junior Plus size in these). Here is a link to a v-neck version. They carry crew neck too:

Tallwomensclothes.com also carries long t-shirts but they are more expensive - about $30 + shipping.

 

Good luck!

I got a few a couple years ago--I think they still have the tall tees.

I think Old Navy's t-shirts are a bit longer. I haven't shopped there much, but my tall friend likes Old Navy.

Yep, that tall friend would be me ;) Old Navy is one of the few places I can find shirts that are long enough. They are relatively inexpensive and I can generally find a good number that I like.

Thanks for the tips! I looked online at the JC Penney tees, and they look promising. While I'm at the mall I'll stop in at Gap, too. Plus I have a $10 credit voucher at Old Navy, which is right by my mall. Certainly I'll find something at one of these 3 stores. I appreciate the suggestions!

Hopefully yours will have them too!
