Tall men often have a big problem shopping for fashionable clothes as most stores only have a a few styles on the racks as a grudging acknowledgment that bigger guys are out there and like to look good.
WalkTall (link: www.walktall.co.uk) is an online store that looks at solving that problem by stocking a comprehensive but mainly casual – but does include big and tall suits in charcoal and black stripe from waist/leg 40-34 inches to 50-44 inches.
The company has a store in Street, Somerset, but operates mainly online selling mainly casual clothes but also a couple of classy suits.
WalkTall main line is footwear – from smart polished shoes to trainers and work boots.
The clothing solves that real problem for tall men – that most shirts and tops are made in regular sizes for men with shorter arms and legs.
For anyone over six feet tall, having a shirt that does not reach the wrist and trousers that flap around your ankles are the results – and WalkTall clothing is one place that has the solution with dozens of shirts, trousers, tops and jackets with sleeves and legs in longer than regular.
Useful accessories stocked include plus size caps, belts and ties with that extra few inches for tall guys. Walktall.com obviously think if you are a big and tall guy you need a larger wallet as well, because surprisingly, there are several in the accessories section!
Most of the brands are instantly recognisable – like Camel, Cat, Columbia and Double Two.
This is definitely a shop based round outdoor gear mostly for work or hiking. Yes, the company does stock a couple of suits, shirts and ties for taller guys, but the bulk of the clothing lines are jeans, waterproof jackets and tough footwear.
If you are looking for stylish going out or special occasion fashions, this is not really the place to go. They obviously know their niche is casual and work wear and go for it in style.
