American Tall Clothing

It might be safe to say that Spring has sprung! We’ve been enjoying the lovely temperatures here in Wisconsin, as well as the flowers blooming. It feels like the perfect time to share another amazing tall brand with you. Meet American Tall Clothing! While they aren’t very new, the more exciting part is their launch within the last year of women’s apparel. We are thrilled to be able to try out a variety of the new pieces and share them with you.

They originally launched as a men’s only online retail store. Having a tall husband, I was excited to see a company that was creating pieces for the “tall” only market instead of the ubiquitous big AND tall shops. It still might surprise some people to learn that they aren’t mutually exclusive. Sarcasm aside, we will always be excited about new tall clothing companies filling voids in the market and American Tall is reading the room quite well!

It makes complete sense, given their brand beginnings. The group worked for other brands over the years and pleaded with their bosses to include tall clothing in the discussion to no avail. Instead of giving up, American Tall was born to represent the underdogs or little guys as they like to say. It resonates with our mission so well, of not settling for ill-fitting clothing and speaking up for brands to include Tall in their so-called inclusive fashion.

Two Tall Lengths

Tall companies are working smarter these days, realizing that Tall still covers a pretty wide range of height. Hence the reason we were also excited to start The Real Tall three years ago. Caitlin representing the first “tier” of tall women and me (Jenilee) represents the upper tier. So it makes our hearts sing to see American Tall offer two different lengths for their garments, tall or extra tall. If you’re 5’9-6’1 you’d choose tall and 6’2 and above you would choose extra tall (this is the women’s size chart only). 

So what will you find on American Tall’s website? Tall necessities at reasonable prices!! Is it weird how elusive that can feel as a tall woman? It often feels like, hey you want to dress in clothing that fits you like everyone else? Great, then you can pay double or triple the price. Not the case with American Tall. 

Tall Button Up Shirts

Take their Tencel button up shirt that Caitlin tried out. She’s wearing it in a size Large Tall. It is only $49, which is the same cost as an unnamed big retailer’s tall section we shop. Where American Tall clearly pulls away is offering the second tier of tall! Normally you’d see a cost add for this necessity for those of us on the longer end of tall. A big pet peeve of ours is often sizing up for our shoulders in order to fit a button up shirt. This shirt fits in the shoulders/arms quite nicely! Plus unlike other button ups, when they offer the rolled up sleeve option this one is not mandatory. Meaning the sleeve length is spot on and we don’t have to pretend it’s long enough by wearing it ¾ sleeve length.

Tall Denim

Same deal for the denim, it is offered in a couple of different rises and washes for versatility. American Tall offers 35 AND 37 inseam for their skinny jeans. Caitlin tried their high rise skinny jean in classic blue size 29×35. They describe it as a high stretch especially from other reviews and suggest sizing down. We’d say stick with your regular size from her experience, especially as the fit was a bit tight through the knee/calf, which might be more based on your shape. So if you’re athletic/curvy like us, take note! 

Tall Sweat Suits

When American Tall first started their women’s clothing line, I remember seeing their sweat suits and loving them. So of course I had to choose a sweat suit when this collaboration came to fruition! Especially during pregnancy, I value comfort above all else. I chose to stick with my regular size Large and did their Extra Tall length and the sizing was perfect as the sweat suit is intended to be an oversized fit.

I am not exaggerating when I tell you I have been LIVING in this sweat suit since I’ve received it. I’m not going to even say it has to do with my pregnancy. Although it is one of the few things that I’m supremely comfortable with these days. This is a high quality sweat suit. It takes me right back to my college basketball days of running around campus in sweats every day between practice and class. The difference? These sweat suits are well-fitting for tall people. I don’t have to size up to try to eke up an extra inch or two.

What is encouraging is watching them follow through on their expansion plans. So as of this spring, you can really tell American Tall is a retailer we can count on. They added denim skirts AND shorts. It bears repeating, they offer two lengths! I can’t tell you how many tall mini skirts I’ve tried on at 6’4 and still felt over exposed. Plus they launched a couple of dresses in several colorways, including this stunning maxi dress! As well as these layering tanks under the $20 price point.
