Alright, there has to be some other moms out there whose husbands are at least 6'4 or taller! I need help! We have such a hard time finding him pants and shoes. Where do you all shop? He wears 38/36 in pants and usually places like Penny's big and tall are not very, lets say, trendy clothes! Same with shoes, he needs new gym shoes and we used to be able to find some at Kohls but we have been to about 5 Kohls in the last couple weeks with no luck. Anyway, just wondering if someone else has similar problems or knows of some places to shop :)

What can I do next?

Hi L.,

I have a husband that is 6'7" and it very hard to find him clothing. I have recently discovered Eddie Bauer Outlet. The regular Eddie Bauer stores in the malls also carry the tall sizes of shirts. They have very up to date clothing! My husband wears a 38 inseam & he can get jeans or dress pants through the Eddie Bauer catalog. He also gets his Dockers through the J C Penny catalog. As far as shoes, my husband wears sz. 13 so it is kind of hard to find shoes but if you don't find the right size on the floor, some stores will order them for you & send them straight to your house w/ no shipping cost! I know that Famous Footwear will do this for sure!! Hope I was of some help!

HI L.,

My husband also stands near 6'4". He used to buy his shoes thru eastbay. We found out about that place from a footlocker. The clothes thing we have the same trouble, at least with jeans my husband wears shorts all year around. If I remember correctly walmart & sears have a big tall section. You could try them.

L.,
I don't have that tall of a husband, but my 19 year old son is 6'4". I don't know what kind of clothes you are looking for, but I have had decent success at Carson's for pants. They have a nice selection of khaki types and dress slacks. You can do pretty well when you watch for a sale and with the extra coupons from the papers. For gym-type shoes, try the nike and reebok outlets at the premium outlet mall. also, try finish line. there is one in geneva commons and probably in the fox valley mall. my son wears a 13.

Hi L.,

My husband is 6'6" so I feel your pain. I do a ton of shopping online because it is easier to find the larger sizes. I do get his Levis at JC Penney. I also shop at Eddie Bauer and Eddie Bauer Outlet--they have shoe sizes up to 15 too. LL Bean and Polo are also some favorites.

I know I'll be dealing with the same issues with my son. He's only 2 now, but I can't get over how tall he is already.

Good luck!
L.
