how tall are you? there are tons of jackets out there that will be long enough you just have to buy xl or xxl. im 6'3" and i dont have any trouble finding stuff. Pants are the tough part. i guess im not that tall but you should still be able to find stuff.

Pants are the WORST to find. I'm 6'4" and half the xl stuff isn't long enough.

xxl is pretty hard to find sometimes. Usually it's not even any longer, just wider for fatties.

The waist is way too big, even with a belt its not very comfortable. I'm 6' 2'' and XL jackets fit me very nicely, I have no problem. I have XL siver pants and they are super super wide. The waist is huge and without a belt or some kind of suspender they would drop to my ankles instantly.

Yeah. I was looking at the new Saga stuff, and the inseam for the xl's is like 35inches wich is long enough for my lanky ass.  Only I'm skeptical because i've heard they haven't shipped stuff yet. Plus $219 is kinda pricey.

mann i'm like 6 foot... i guess that is not THAT tall...

but I am looking for a jacket that is pretty tall... i mean def hanging below my ass. i hate whenever i land switch and my back gets cold air.  so i figure if i got a super long jacket it would fixx it... plus big jackets are steezy as hell...
