I'm 6 foot 2, and a standard XL shirt fits ok, but if it has long sleeves there's no way. An XLT usually fits perfectly. But not only is a true Tall size hard as hens' teeth to find in department stores, when you do find them, the store charges a 10-20 percent premium for it. It's justified by the fact that production numbers are smaller and they use more fabric. But I'm sure that was the same logic used in pricing brassieres. Guess I should be thankful that as a guy I'm not saddled with the need to wear a bra.
