I'm 6'3 and my brother is also. we have trouble finding outerwear that actually looks tall on us (4xl jiberish looks like a normal fit with snowpants).
What companies besides saga have some tall stuff?

xlt first drop? If you care about quality then no, but size? then yeah. XL saga might be alright, also XLT lethal descent? I don't know, just the obvious choices.

Well, I've never actually owned an FD wear product, I've just heard more bad things than good things about it. I really can't vouch for their quality.

Maybe because they said waterproofing ratings were a crock of shit. That tends to turn off people who know anything at all about technical specifications.

First Drop for sure man. I am 6' 2" and a 2XLT hoodie is an inch above my knee. The XXXL jersey goes well below my knees. Huge as fuck.

armada tall fit is long...

im 6'6" and the XL tall fit jackets are HUGE

makes me look a lot shorter

even the XL pants are huge, and if you get the new suspenders you can sag the shit out of them no problem

def think having the bagginess is improving my tall man style
