6ft+ people!!! what clothing items are still basically impossible to find in the right fit? Be brutally honest.

Hey tall community 👋

I'm doing some research on the persistent pain points for people 6ft and above when it comes to clothing. Not looking for brand recommendations (yet) — I specifically want to know what categories or types of clothing you still find genuinely hard to get right, even in 2026.

Some examples to get the ball rolling — is it:

  • Dress shirts / formal shirts (sleeve length vs. shoulder width mismatch)?
  • Trousers / pants with long enough inseam that still have a decent cut?
  • Suits and blazers off the rack?
  • Casual tees and hoodies where the torso length is always too short?
  • Swimwear / shorts that don't look like hot pants?
  • Outerwear / coats that hit at the right length?
  • Underwear and base layers?
  • Shoes above size 13/14?

Drop your height and the specific clothing item(s) that still frustrate you — and feel free to mention whether you're male/female/other, since the struggle isn't the same across the board.

Genuinely curious where the biggest gaps still are. Thanks in advance 🙏
