Tall Personal Shopper: Big & Tall Man Needs Shipping to Canada

Today's shopping request is for a 6'10" man who is fed up with ill-fitting clothing.  He especially wants some work dress shirts that fit. His size is a 18.5" neck, like a slim fit and has worn 38" sleeve lengths, but would love to have a 40" sleeve length. He has a 38" waist and wears a 36"-38" inseam length. Our client is 40 years old and describes his style as preppy. He also lives in Canada, so he needs items that will ship to Canada. (that's a challenge, but I think I got it.) His budget is to try and keep most items under $50.

Big & Tall Dress Shirts

Long Sleeved Casual Buttom-Up Shirts
For casual button-up shirts, one of your best bets is shopping at JCPenney as they have extra-tall sizes. 
You can find more big and tall shirts here.

You mentioned you would like a blazer and I recommend:
 
Jos A Bank's - Executive 2-Button Wool Blazer as everyone needs a blue blazer and it comes in extra long sizes.

Work Pants
extra tall men's pants
 

Jeans
big and tall jeans that ship to canada
 
 
For the price and style, you can't beat Levi's brand for the extra tall guy!

I hope I've nailed down some styles that will work for you. Enjoy!

Tall Personal Shopper: Tall Teen Guy With Athletic Thighs

I received a personal shopper request from Jim, He is trying to find some items for his 16 year old son who is 6'8" tall. His waist is 34" and inseam is 38" with leg opening of 20" or more. He wears a size 17 shoe (the reason for leg opening size). Items needed are mens pants in causal and dressy style and jeans in relaxed fit. His thigh muscles are large.
Tall Personal Shoppper Help:
The good news is that we have special sections of men's tall jeans and pants categorized by inseam length. We are constantly updating these sections.
Based on what you have asked for here are some hand picked items I would like to recommend:
If you want the perfect fit, you may consider getting a pair of custom made jeans with your son's measurements. I think indiCustom jeans are stylish.

For ready made jeans:

Popular among teen, Buckle's Seth Jeans in loose style with your size and a 20" leg opening. Here's the same style with a medium wash.
Classic style Eddie Bauer's loose fit 5 pocket jeans are also available with a long-rise which is good for most tall guys.

You can't go wrong with a pair of Levi's jeans. I had Rochester Clothing measure the leg opening of this pair of Levi's 550's in relaxed and the leg opening is 20". They have a 90 day return policy.
Rochester Clothing also measured the leg opening on this pair of Levi's Open Rigid-Welder jeans and the leg opening is 20".

Casual or Dressy Pants

I'm not having much luck with a 34" waist in casual or dressy pants with a wide leg opening. The widest legs I can find in your size is the following 2 pairs. They both measure 18" wide at the opening.
Rochester Clothing No Wrinkle Flat-Frong Twill Pants - more of a casual style. They are almost sold out.
Rochester Clothing No Wrinkle Pleated Twill Trousers - a dressier heavier weight style.

I hope this has helped you in your search to help your tall, teen son look stylish. My tall personal shopper service  is a free service. If you need, help be sure and submit all required info before sending me an email.
