We are a very tall family as well. I am 5'-9.5", but am now the shortest in my family. Even my 13 y.o. DD has passed me by. I have found JCPenneys to be my best bet for tall skinny clothes, unless you Want to make DH shirts. I have made knit LS T-shirts for my DH, with my serger & a raglan sleeve...works out nice. Just wanted to give you a heads up, that JCP carries Extra Talls, which work for my DH who's 6'4". I can always buy what's on sale online, slightly out of season, for a great price...with minimal altering, if needed. I like the St. John's Bay brand for a good sleeve length, & it won't shrink if it's a blend. Hope you might find something to your liking there. I get free shipping coupons all the time, & they let you return to store with no problem. I got the our tall men all collared fleece jackets, this past January, for about $12 each (orig. about $60).
