Saga sizing

I am looking at buying last years Saga Anomie Jacket and want it to be baggy but not down to my knees or anything. What size would be good for me, the XL or XXL? I'm 6'6". And yes I have looked at their size charts for measurement but would appreciate feedback from someone of the same height since there aren't very many pictures of people wearing those sizes for scale. There may be a thread like this already so just link me to it.

Thanks everyone

+K for legit help

If you're 6'6'' I would honestly go with the XXL. My friend is 6'0'' and got the large and its not too baggy on him.

Xxl for sure. If you want a size reference, I think Collin Collins is about the same height and wears a xxl

I'm 6/6 myself and the XXL is huge, seriously huge. I have the old XL and that's about right.

Im 6'5", I got 2 xxl Jackets from saga and they both fit pretty good. A bit baggy but not so much as to make it look weird (in my opinion). In my profile pic I am wearing one of the saga jackets. Might give you a good impression on the size!

This. If you're that tall XXL is probably the best bet. The only reason to go XL would be if you are really skinny and have narrow shoulders.

Old xl had a 39 inch zipper in 09/10 and a 38.5 inch zipper until they added the xxl. So it's really not a huge difference between the old xl and the new xxl. Also you can synch it up to make it appear smaller if its too long

As we tell everyone who asks this question. Asking what is "a good size for me" is far too ambiguous. You said your height but that says nothing about the style of gear you like to wear or your build. Someone who is 5'6" 110lbs and wants to wear real baggy gear has a completely different size in mind when compared to a person 5'6" 160lbs and wants to wear tight fitting gear.

XXL. I'm 6'2" with an XL. It's about 2 inches above the knees.

This was in some part due to the sizing but also largely because of the material used. For this coming season we are using a material that is similar in weight and feel to the older stuff. With the addition of the Monarch 3L line we were able to bring the Anomie back to its glory days.
