Who makes uniforms in "Tall" sizes?

[Chris B]

Hi all - I've just just joined the forum.

Do any vendors offer "Tall" sizing? If not, which manufacturers have uniforms most suited to those of us with relatively long legs and arms? I've surfed around, but can't seem to find anything.

uhlmann/allstar, pbt, and lp all do, as far as i know.

i've never looked into any of the local vendors or fwf, but i would not be surprised if they did.

take a look at their sizing charts to figure out your tall size. they're all sizing numbers in and around 100.

I'd suggest calling around to different vendors. Most will offer tall kit from Uhlmann/Allstar, LP, etc. Just be prepared to pay a premium. If you call the vendor, they sometimes waive the markup. (happened with mine ^_^)

The only vendor I've found that has production tall sizes is PBT. All of the others will custom cut a uniform for you. The only one I've found that will custom cut a uniform without a surcharge is Cartel. They use a really nice light weight material, but I have not been very happy with the cut or durability of the uniform. My PBT is much nicer, but they cost a fortune in the US (I got mine in Hungary).

uhlmann/allstar doesn't custom cut anymore. about half of their tall sizes are the same as the standard price. the really really big ones cost extra.

I can guarantee you that The Fencing Post and Absolute both carry tall Uhlmann gear (i just picked up a size 98 set, tall version of size 48). I believe that LP USA can make tall or custom fit gear also.

Both Allstar and Uhlmann sells Tall, Normal and Stocky sized kits -- no extra fee. (But it's possible US vendors add fees, I wouldn't know.)

Ok. Then I guess you must be a reeeally big guy.

Blue Gauntlet has tall - and they will make longer sleeves for you in reg or tall sizes no charge/prob. I just ordered a jacket with +3 inches to the sleeves- call them up, they are not on the web site. They were very very helpful

Although Allstars tall size, in ladies breeches at least, is not designed for too tall people, I'm 5'7 and I need the tall breeches.

I weigh about 500 lbs and I had no problem getting the oversized outfit from Allstar, no extra charge. Just ask for the XXXXXL size.
