Tall Men’s Suits: Best Brands for a Perfect Fit

Finding a suit that fits well when you’re tall can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Off the rack suits often deliver on length but fall short in the shoulders, chest or waist. That can leave you feeling uncomfortable or self conscious exactly the opposite of what a great suit should do. So where should a tall man shop for a suit that actually fits? Let’s explore the best brands tailored for long frames, including some standout pieces available through TallTog .

Why Most Suits Fail Tall Men

Standard suits are built for average proportions. That means shorter sleeves, standard rise trousers, and a jacket length that cuts you off at the wrong point. When you’re tall, these misalignments are magnified. A sleeve that seems only slightly short on a shorter man becomes glaringly obvious on a tall frame. Jackets that are too narrow in the shoulders can pinch, while trousers that lack proper inseam can look budget.

A well fitting suit should align with your frame not against it. That means extra length without bulk, clean lines that flatter, and proportions that feel intentional.

What to Look for in a Tall Friendly Suit Brand

For a perfect fit in suits, tall men should look for brands that offer:

• Extended jacket sleeve and body lengths

• Trousers with longer inseam and true rise adjustments

• Tailored cuts that avoid excess fabric in the chest and waist

• Quality fabrics that hold shape without adding weight

Here are some reliable options that bring you closer to that ideal fit:

Suit Supply Manhasset Line

Suit Supply is known for quality tailoring and offers certain styles with longer options. The Manhasset line gets praise for a more forgiving cut that can fit taller bodies, especially when adjusted by a tailor. Remember to check sleeve and inseam measurements and adjust where needed.

Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Tailored Fit

Charles Tyrwhitt offers an Extra Tailored fit that, while not exclusively made for tall men, gives more length via their extra long jacket sleeves and trouser inseams. It may require tailoring, but it’s an accessible option with good structure and fabric quality.

Incotex by ISAIA

For luxury options, Incotex delivers Italian tailoring with finely cut lines that accommodate extra height. Their trousers often feature higher rises that benefit tall frames. These suits carry a premium price tag, but the craftsmanship ensures a standout fit and feel.

ASOS Tall Collection

ASOS Tall includes budget friendly suit separates in longer proportions. The quality will not match higher end brands, but for quick events and shorter budgets, their suit sets offer a decent starting point especially ideal for layering or casual styling.

Why Tailored Alterations Still Matter

Even the best off the rack tall suits may need tweaks. Getting minor adjustments like shortening or lengthening sleeves, nipping in the waist, or hemming trouser legs can elevate your look dramatically. A little tailoring ensures the suit’s proportions stay consistent across a taller frame.

How to Visualise a Perfect Fit

Ask yourself:

• Do the jacket sleeves sit exactly at your wrist bone?

• Does the jacket’s shoulder line sit flat and end precisely where your shoulder begins?

• Do the trousers fall cleanly without excess break at the ankle?

• Does the suit allow movement without pulling across your chest?

If the answer is yes, you are well on your way to a suit that feels made for you.

Taking Care of Your Tall Suit

To preserve your suit (especially when bought at a better fit):

• Hang it properly on wide, curved hangers

• Use a garment bag when travelling to avoid creases

• Brush off debris and air it after use before dry cleaning

• Rotate suits to extend longevity

A well fitted suit looks better for years and ensures your wear is consistently confident.

FAQs

Can I get suit separates for more customisation?

Absolutely. Mixing and matching jacket and trouser sizes lets you balance length and width more precisely. TallTog separates are designed for this flexibility.

What fit works best for tall men who are also slim?

Look for slim or extra tailoring with longer length. Avoid boxy or oversized cuts.

How much does tailoring generally cost?

Minor changes can cost between £30 to £60 depending on your area and complexity, but the fit difference is worth it.

Are unlined jackets a good option?

Yes. They’re lighter, more breathable and drape more naturally especially on taller frames.

Which suit fabric works best for year-round wear?

Super 100s wool is versatile. Consider blends with linen or silk for summer or higher Super counts for cold months.

Can I wear double breasted suits as a tall man?

Of course. Just make sure it isn’t too tight. Double breasted jackets add formality and look modern when proportioned correctly.

How do I maintain suit proportions over time?

If your body changes, consider retailoring instead of retiring the suit. Well made suits can adapt and age well.
