I’m about 6’4, have two anomies from early 2010s which measure the zipper around 38”. Can’t find anything else that long.

They also aren’t incredibly wide which I love also, other brands just get really wide when going to XXL

Longest I could get is airblasters so might try that out, 36 length, trew and bloom only go up to 34. might hit up wear leathers but can’t find a size guide.

How else am I fitting these 5XL tall ts?

I have 2 of the old fdwear xlt jackets, I'm only 5 10, but they are looong. Ik most people don't like virtika, but they still make a somewhat long jacket I'm pretty sure.

I mainly stick to old school stuff I find on ebay, so mabye look there.

Yeah virtika is the exact length basically, not huge fan but oh well, maybe if I can score a used one for cheap.


Air raids look similar in size so might check that out, appreciate it!

Can confirm first drop xl tall has zipper length of about 39”
I'm a bit under 5’6”, so it is kind of a joke to even wear (which means I never do)

Here is what it looks like on a short person

Also 6'4" and all torso and always on the lookout for those long joints. Best fitting jacket I've ever found is the Bloom anorak. Real long (advertised at 37" for xxl if I remember right), but not wide. I got one in XXL, tried it on, then immediately ordered a second one. Fit is perfect.

bring it back @Bloom.
