LONG PLAIN T-SHIRTS
How should plain t-shirts fit tall guys?
Plain t-shirts are a wardrobe staple so they have to fit well. That means not too loose, and not too snug. They should:
- Honour your height by being fitted on the chest, shoulders and sleeves. Not skin-tight, but also not having more than 1-1.5" excess fabric when pinched.
- Be cut almost straight through the waist. That's because many tall lean guys are skinny fat. You don't want the t-shirt catching around your belly. A straight cut solves that problem. And if you're not skinny fat, a straighter cut gives you a bit more width through your waist and a fuller appearance.
- Fall to the mid-fly or a little lower, giving more balance to your tall frame by covering a bit of your lanky legs.
And that's exactly what our tees are all about. Longer, not wider. Baggy-free guaranteed.
How much longer are they?
They're 3" longer than regular sizes so they'll fall to your mid-fly (or a little lower). Long enough to tuck in without worrying about them coming loose, and long enough to raise your arms without exposing your belly and back. Whereas not being super longline (5-8" longer) so they won't wear like a dress.
Are you sure they're not baggy?
We've never had anyone complain about our tees being too baggy. Too long maybe, but definitely not too baggy. They're simply longer than standard sizes without the extra width. So you'll never have to size up like you do with short guy brands just to get the length you want.
If you're unlucky and the t-shirt runs big, you just need to size down. We offer free exchanges on all our orders.

20 quid for a plain t-shirt! Are you joking?
We know they look pricey. But you really only get what you pay for. For example, If you order five mediums with us, you'll actually get five mediums. Not a mixture of small, medium and large. Inconsistent sizing is so common with cheap throw-away t-shirts. Not with us. The last thing you need is poor rubbish sizing. You already get that at short guy stores.
Another thing is our stitching is top quality and you'll feel like a boss in our extra soft, stretchy fabric. Isn't that worth a few extra pennies?
Finally, we are a slow fashion brand and only order in limited quantities - this means our cost price is higher, but we guarantee to move all our stock. So we're not like many huge fast fashion brands who over-order to get the biggest factory discounts. In some cases, their unsold deadstock ends up at landfills where all kinds of unspeakable horrors occur.
What are your best selling colours?
Black, white, navy, grey and cabernet. The black and white are so good that they're usually out of stock. So if you see them in stock right now, you're really in luck! In other words, get your wallet out and buy :)
What fabric are they made out of?
Just 100% organic cotton. So you won't see itchy bobbles that come with poor quality cotton - poly blends. Our fabric is pretreated at the factory for extra softness and prewashed to minimise shrinkage to only 1-2%.
The higher quality 190 gsm combed cotton helps the t-shirts to retain their shape wash after wash, and they well on slender frames.
How can I style these tees?
They can go with just about anything. We like the contrasting colour rule: light tees with dark jeans and dark tees with light jeans.
Try one out under a long sleeve in winter. Our long white t-shirts are super soft too and can be used as undershirts (under dress shirts). You'll probably even wear them to bed.
What seasons are they for?
All year round wear. Our 190gsm medium weight cotton gives you total flexibility.
