Being Tall =$

Get it? Huh? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? 

Yeah, neither do I!  I don't understand why being tall means that you have to spend millions of dollars on clothes. (okay, maybe not millions but a pretty penny for sure) Just to find clothes that fit right and look nice.  We are not talking designer clothes here, simply pants that are long enough and shirts that don't end four inches above your wrists!
If you are not tall, you probably don't understand, let me lay it out for you.  So you go into a store and you tell them the inseam you need or the arm length on a dress shirt.  They have one of two responses for you: 1.  They laugh and say wow we sure don't have that here. . . or 2. They tell you to go to another store (to which you have already been and they also had one of the two above mentioned responses). . . Sooooooo you take to your computer knowing that there has to be something out there for tall people and after 24 days of searching and looking at terrible internet pictures of shirts where you can't see the pattern or the color real well, you choose one and say a prayer  that it will work as you hit "add to cart."  After realizing that the shirt is more expensive than the smaller version of the same shirt and that they don't sell this one in the store, you realize you are stuck and continue with the purchase.   You add tax to the purchase because it is not from Minnesota and then pay your right arm and left foot in shipping.  Fast forward 15 days and a little box comes to your door.  You send up another prayer that this shirt will work only to find that it looks nothing like the picture and the fit is not exactly right and the cycle described above begins again.
I may have exaggerated a bit but you get the point. . . If you are tall, clothing is hard to find and you are going to spend a heck of a lot more money on clothes.  I am lucky enough to have one store where I can buy quality dress pants and hopefully they NEVER go out of business.  Jeans are a whole different story and if you have ever shopped with me for pants, you will understand how hard and frustrating the process is.
I have found something that puts me shopping for pants to shame. . .Shopping for the big man!  They tell you to go to the big & tall section and all you find is big, not tall.  Then they laugh at you, make a comment about his size and send you to the internet. . .
