6'5" and I prefer to get my clothes online. Not just because they're easier to find, but also because there's little I hate more than clothes shopping in stores.

I was mainly joking but I think dxkj is a guy and 5'11" 115 is way to skinny for a guy..even a girl if you ask me. I mean 6 extra inches is a lot of height to consider over your moms stature, who, BTW is appropriate @ 115.

I'm 6'4" but well proportioned so not all my height is in my legs.

Pants are not a problem for me but finding shirts long enough is. And as someone pointed out earlier... larger shirt sizes usually only mean wider not longer and not more room for your arms. It sucks to buy a XXL shirt that is tight on your arms and exposes your lower back when you bend over. But being tall is good so I guess that's the price you pay.

Hehe, that's a good way of looking at it! So it seems that the best bets are Eddie Bauer and JCPenney, which isn't any real news. I guess some underground store doesn't exists that you can get into with a secret handshake. I usually shop online, but like mentioned above, I like to see things in person.

I wear 34x34 pants so I would appear thick. Plus I can get the pants in just about any store.

I got punished... short legs... im 6' 3" and wear 32" length.... now shirts are a whole different matter for me.

I wear 36 inseam pants, they're not too hard to find usually:

American Eagle, GAP, and Eddie Bauer all have good selections of pants with 36 inseams. I like AE pants for casual, GAP for casual/work, and Eddie Bauer for work/dress pants. JCPenney has some pants with a 36 inseam, but pretty much the only kind of khakis they carry are pleated, which is why I go to Eddie Bauer usually.

I've never seen 36 inseam pants at AE or the Gap (and only a few at JC Penney) in store, so I usually have to buy them online. It's kind of a trial and error proceedure, so make sure there's a local store to you to make returns easier.

Gap and Banana Republic seem to work for me...

American Eagle's shirts are too short, Gaps are perfect. I don't ever shop at AF, and haven't gone into a hollister yet. Although, there is a hollister in the mall near my college.

I'm 6'-3" & 150 LBS

I wear L shirts & 32 x 34 pants.

6' 3'' 175 I can usually find 36x36 jeans pretty easily. For shirts I usually buy XL or 2XL which fit fine.
