I'm about 6"4 and always have a hard time finding decent fitting suits, specifically the jacket length. I wear about a 37" shirt and even an Extra-Long jacket falls woefully short of my wrists. Very rarely is there enough fabric in the sleeves to let out to a sufficient length.
Do any of you tall guys have a go to suit maker?

Same problem. I'm 6'5 and have longer arms than most my height. Tried looking for suits just the other day and had no luck. What's your body type?
You're going to have to go MTM, or bespoke if you can afford it.
+1 on that. I'm 6'3, never had a well-fitting suit until I got one made. The difference is more than worth the effort to get it done.
Got Apparel offers online clothing in wholesale discount rate to shop and I hope so you may get your desire over there in reasonable prize.
Why don't you give these guys a try? http://ardenreed.com/
They are tailor made for only about $450.
Let me know how they work out, I do plan on trying them once a finish business school and need to get a few new suits.
Hugo Boss makes good suits for tall guys. I am 6'5" with 37" sleeves and do not need to get the suits tailoreed (The long cut). They retail for $650, but are on sale somewhat frequently and can be purchased for $3-400.
I guess the obvious question here is...Are you sure you're not over-estimating the fit of your suit? I remember the first jacket I got, I got the tall because I'm 6'4", 36/37 sleeve, and fairly slender. Tried it back on a little while later only to look in the mirror and realize that it didn't fit me at all like I'd wanted it to. Now I purchase normal jacket sizes and usually get the sleeves lengthened a bit.
If there's anything I learned though, NEVER listen to the salesperson or whoever is trying your suit on. They don't know how you want your suit to fit and they usually couldn't care less.
Jos A Bank fit me just fine, I'm a few inches taller than you.
I'm 6'4 with broad shoulders, and I have to say that suitsupply had a great fit for me. Only had to tailor the pant length a bit
Tall guys- where do you buy your pants for work? (Originally Posted: 05/12/2013)
website, preferably...6'4 and athletic build, so i usually buy 34x36 (larger legs).
any go-tos for you guys?
Generally get custom for dress pants. For casual I go with Nordstrom brands (John W. Nordstrom Smartcare). They're cheap but look pretty decent. Most importantly they fit!!
Nordstrom has the right sizes. I am 6'5 and usually go with bespoke. It's expensive but looks great.
