MEET THE FOUNDER
TALL PEOPLE PROBLEMS
I'm Ben, the 6'5" slim founder of Just Tall. I've had many tall people problems over the years, such as hitting my head on short guy doorframes, getting cold feet in bed, having horrible showers and wearing horrible fitting clothing.
I wanted to set up a small business and fix one of these problems. Which problem could I fix the easiest? Definitely not doorframes. Who would want a new hole blown into their house for a tall friendly door? And if they're renting, their landlords would go ballistic. Setting up a 'tall renovations' company would cost ££££ too, and I had a very limited small business budget.
I also thought about tall friendly beds and tall friendly showers. Shipping extra long beds weighing half a ton around the world clearly wasn't economically viable. On the flip side, shipping tall modified shower heads was doable, but even the most useless DIY chaps could take a drill and move their shower heads up 20cm.
THE EASIEST SOLUTION
So that only left horrible clothing. I thought I'd have nothing to lose getting a few tall t-shirt samples in. Nowhere near as risky as tall doorframes, tall beds and tall shower heads.
So that's what made me think about Just Tall. A brand for guys who are exactly that. As a tall, slim, 'just tall' guy, I've ALWAYS failed to find clothes that fit at big and tall stores. And there are loads of big and tall stores out there.
But thankfully we’re not another big and tall store. Because not all of us get wider the taller we get. Many stay skinny the taller we get. And we rarely find clothes that fit at regular stores (too short) or big and tall stores (too baggy).
TALL SKINNY GUYS NEED LOVE TOO
Tall skinny guys suffer, and we don’t deserve it. We deserve, just like everyone else, to wear great fitting clothing that flatters our lean frames.
I thought it was about time tall skinny guys found the right fit just as easily as short guys and big & tall guys. So I founded Just Tall, a simple & sustainable tall lifestyle brand especially for these 'just tall' guys.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our brand does extra long clothing without the extra width – the simple formula for giving a great fit to the vertically gifted, not the horizontally gifted.
We’re not the only tall slim specialist store out there, but we’ve set ourselves apart by offering ethical tall slim menswear that’s simple, long-lasting and affordable. And we can pretty confidently say to every tall skinny guy: finding your fit is no longer a mission with Just Tall.

100 CUSTOMER PHOTOS & VIDEOS COLLECTED
We should be in the Guiness Book of Records for the largest brand collection of tall slim guys on the Internet. You won’t find such an awesome, extensive collection at any other tall brand. Trust us – we looked.
From tall and skinny to tall and broad (our biggest size just before big and tall territory), you’ll find the whole range of just tall guys here. And the best thing? Hardly a single big and tall guy to be found. Truly a rare species here.

FIRST EVER CHARITY DONATION
For the first time ever, we donated 2% of all our sales between 1st August and 30th September to Centrepoint. That came to £468.99. We were over the moon we played our little part.
Centrepoint is a UK registered charity that combats youth homelessness through prevention, supported housing, education and employment.

LANKY ARM JUMPERS DROP
Two years late, but better late than never. We launched our 5th main style - an extra long quarter zip jumper with a tall torso friendly body and lanky arm friendly sleeves.
Made of 100% organic cotton too, as we have always hated itchy, irritating polyester. If that doesn't make you foam at the mouth, nothing will.

FITTED EXTRA LONG SLEEVE TEES DROP
We'll never forget how bloody chilly it was at Golders Green for our 7am long sleeve tee photoshoot. Kudos to 6'7" Roy for helping us launch our 2nd main style. If we knew the photographer was 6'2" he could have modelled our medium tall! Oh well.
Our long sleeves have baggy free torsos AND baggy free sleeves. What a killer combo. You'll never have to worry about chilly, exposed forearms again.

FIRST 1,000 ORDERS FROM JUST TALLERS
That only took us 15 months. Boy what a grind that was. But an admirable achievement with all the cutthroat competition, face-ripping inflation and post-covid e-commerce fatigue around at that time.
A special place in our tall hearts went to P Arkwright, our 1,000th order. We must be special to you too, considering you bought another 3 times since then.

STAY FLAT COLLAR POLOS DROP
Nobody wants to see your belly button (whether it's hairy or not) when you stretch out, a common sight from short guy polos that generally run even shorter than short guy t-shirts.
Our 3rd style, a long polo, fixes all that. Launched with an extra long body, fitted sleeves and a stay-flat collar for a crsip killer look. What a super rare item you'll be getting your hands on.

FIRST EVER MONTH IN PROFIT
We made money for the first month ever. A jaw-dropping, whopping £18.52. A minuscle profit but a major symbolic victory. It will probably be another 1-2 years before we totally break-even (recover all previous months' losses).
So to all budding entrepreneurs out there starting out: Don't give up your day jobs. You don't want to be chasing your dream living in a cardboard box under a bridge.

A JUST TALL BABY IS BORN
Horrible baggy clothing brings back memories of way back in 1999 when we took a 1 hour train trip from Luton to London to go to High And Mighty. But we quickly learned we were all High and no Mighty. And the long and slim t-shirts we were craving for turned out to be long and wide. Very wide. Complete mission failure.
Fast forward to 2021 and we had enough money (and courage!) to launch Just Tall. With the noble aim of saying bye to both wasted train trips and horrible baggy clothing.
