I’m hearing from lots of tall guys that they just can’t find an undershirt that not only fits right, but is also long enough to keep it from coming untucked. From what I’ve heard, the shirts that are long enough for our longer torso friends are generally to wide to fit them properly.

Ask Tug: Undershirts for Tall Men (Long Undershirts) Part 2 - Looking for the perfect undershirt for my husband

I wanted to recap a couple of the longer undershirts I found and share an announcement about another undershirt company we’ve reviewed here before that recently announced the availability of an extra long undershirt.

1. Casual Male XL offers a Large Tall Jockey V-Neck undershirt. Look for one they specifically refer to as “large tall”.
2. TommyJohn offers a nice soft tailored undershirt that is cut a little longer and uses something called “TailoredStretch” technology to keep the bottom of the shirt from untucking. In simple terms, the bottom is narrower than the chest and the fabric at the bottom is stretchy, but snug so it hugs your bottom pretty nicely and it stays in place rather well. They also recently announced a light Micro Model version of their undershirts as well as a new line of low-rise boxer briefs.
3. The latest company to join in the long undershirt bandwagon is RibbedTee.com. Their Classic Fit and Enhanced Fit undershirts are 1.5″-2″ longer than typical undershirts (31″ long compared to 29″) and the bottom is also narrower than the chest so they stay tucked! They’re also specially designed so they won’t bunch up underneath your clothing. In addition, they announced their new extra-long Relaxed Fit line, designed for Big and Tall guys, that is supposed to be available in late September.
   10/23/08 Update: RibbedTee.com announced the release of their Relaxed Fit undershirts (and their women’s tops) in this blog post: Men’s Relaxed Fit Undershirts & Women’s RibbedTee V-Neck tops Now Available!
   
4. Stafford® Essentials brand undershirts from JCPenney include v-neck, crew neck, and tank tops (wifebeaters) and each offer a variety of style options including tall, extra tall, big tall. They also offer a cotton/poly blend that will add some moisture wicking capabilities.
5. Merona Undershirts from Target - A reader posted a comment noting that these undershirts from target were extra long as well.

As I hear about more undershirts that fit into this category, I’ll update this post so there’s one central location for people to find extra-long undershirts (or better put as undershirts that actually fit tall men).
