Buying for someone tall
You do not need his size. You need one measurement.
Find something of his that already fits, lay it flat and measure it. Put one number in below and this returns every garment I have taped that matches. Or start from the gift list.
Every garment in the database, measured
Every garment the Fit Finder searches is listed below, in full, with the figures it matches on. The tool above does the matching for you; this is the same data as plain text, for anyone who would rather read it, and for search engines, which cannot see inside the tool. All measurements are in inches, taken with the garment laid flat, by hand, at 6 foot 8. They are measurements of the garment, not figures copied from a brand's size chart.
