If you are a tall person, you probably have people mention basketball to you on a regular basis. I have a comeback for such situations, and it is actually a really funny one.
They ask: Hey, since you’re tall do you or did you ever play basketball?
You respond: Nah. Since you’re short, have you ever played mini-golf?
It gets old fast having to deal with people talking about basketball, like that’s all we are good at. I’ll have you know that we are also good at getting items on shelves!
If I had to choose one of the best hoodies for a tall person, I’d go with this rainbow graffiti one I found through Amazon (click here to see it or just look at the featured photo).
This hoodie is the first time I’ve ever seen a rainbow big and tall hoodie that has the right length and that’s large enough around for me to grow quite a bit and still fit in it.
There wasn’t a lot of hope for me that this would be large enough so I ordered the 3XL size and it actually fits nicely with room to spare.
Since one problem for taller and larger people in general is that hoodies are a bit too short, I was happy that I could raise my arms and everything without it showing off my belt line.
One thing to be aware of when you wear this thing is people will stop you to ask about it or to compliment you. I only bring it out on days I can deal with being social but it’s one of the only things I own that attracts that much attention.
I have not tried any of their other hoodies, but I think the material is good for lighter weather. I wore it below freezing a couple of times and did ok but I love the cold so I wouldn’t recommend it as your only cover unless you’re not going far.
I have been reviewing items from companies for a couple of years now and I’m always annoyed that there are hardly that many options for people with larger sized heads.
One common thing people don’t think about when you’re a tall person is that finding a comfortable hat, especially if you have hair, is not always that easy.
A hat brand I’ve tried several times with great results is this one called MU:KA on Amazon (that link takes you to the listing for the rabbit hat in this post). The featured photo for this post is a photo of one of their dad hats and they fit amazingly, without too many adjustments.
The only drawback to this brand of hats is that the damage that it comes with is usually the same across most of the hats.
Overall this is a good hat to check out, they also have way more designs on their Amazon page.
It definitely isn’t easy to figure out a good brand these days, with all the random products that don’t always get described properly. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve tried something that says one size fits all but it’s obviously BS.
One thing I find as a 6 foot 6 male is that a lot of items were not made with people like me in mind. This even extends to products like fidgets.
Thankfully, I have been able to find at least one brand of fidget that does have several size options and that would be the Tangle family of products.
In my opinion, the Tangle Palm Classic(click to use my affiliate link) size of product is actually the best one, as it fits in my hands and takes both of them to play with it.
There are also pocket sizes and more, but I’d say those are more for being on the go than at home.
I will try to keep everyone updated as I find more products in this category!
Have you ever tried to buy a shirt as a tall person only to have it show your belly when you lift your arms up? Most companies that make shirts don’t make any that are tall enough for some of us. Luckily, Into the AM is a company with shirts that are actually a good enough length that even I, as a very tall person, am able to be comfortable in.
Into The AM Has Tall Shirts?
If you are an Amazon shopper, you can actually find quite a few of their designs through this link: https://amzn.to/42sUuNp
Once you try one of their shirts from Amazon or from their website, make sure you check out the sales on their website regularly. You can sometimes score really cheap shirts or get other perks like free shipping.
Since their designs are added to regularly, it’s good to check in whether you get an email about it or not. Also make sure you keep an eye out for any coupon codes you may find online.
