At 6'7" and with a 36" inseam, I, and those like me are in the class of people nearly ALL clothing manufacturers discriminate against. It seams in their world nearly every one has no greater inseam length than 34"!:mad:

So, I pose the question to the group, where can one go to find good quality, hunting clothing that will fit?:confused:

I'm similar, but opposite, I'm 6'4" but with a 30" inseam. I can't ever find any shirts/jackets long enough in the body.

I'm 5'10" 130 lbs with a 38" inseam. Kinda have the same problem finding pants to fit my long legs and skinny waist, as well as shirts to fit my skinny chest and long arms. I'm either swimming in pants to fit long enough on my legs. Or have huge shirts with long arms. I found when it comes to pants I just go with the shorter legs and wear gaters to help compensate. Not much I can do with my tops to fit my arms only good thing is I can layer my clothes better on the tops and a jacket with longer arms won't be super tight when I layer. I've got long legs and a short body so when I get the tall shirts to fit my arms they are really long on my body.

My draw length is 31". I have been using a Mathews Monster XLR8 for the past three seasons and love it. I'm not a big believer in heavy poundage, because frankly, I think it's unnecessary. So, I set my poundage at about 45lbs. It allows me, in whatever position I'm in to draw the bow without going through all the contortions many hunters do to draw. And, if the truth be known, you can kill any North American big game animal with 40-45 lbs. OK, that's a little off topic.

My Mathews is excellent and the draw length is perfect. Hope that helps a bit.

Gypsum, that's actually a very good idea, using the gators to compensate for the shorter length. I have a nice pair, but never thought about using them for that. Thank you!

It's the only thing I could ever come up with, shorter pants ride up when I'm riding horses into the back country and it annoys me so I started wearing gaters for that reason then realized how I could now get shorter pants that actually fit my waist. And fit more comfortably with the gaiters and they can't ride up

I have the same dilemma as the OP. 6'6" with 36" inseam.

I emailed Game Gear Hunting in response to their ad stating generous inseam length. Below is their response. I don't know anything about the company or the quality of their clothing.

I have been wearing REI hiking pants which come with 36" inseam. In cold weather I wear Kuiu with gaiters.

I'm on their website now, https://game-gear-hunting.myshopify.com/. First, thank you Extra! Their website actually indicates sizes that will fit! The patterns are a little less than I would prefer, but, the reviews on the site seem to indicate they are of sufficient quality.

I'm going to look into these and if they are worth writing about, I'll put a review on here for everyone.

I wear Sitka timberline pants and also throw a pair of Gaiters on as I have a 36" inseam. I'm about 6'4" and 205-215. Depends on what time of year as to what I weigh. Just got back and weigh 205. Started out before training weighing about 215.

Bummer. I'm okay with clothing, but have 11.5 feet with 4E / EEEE width :(

And wear a size 8 hat....

I should stop bitching about finding good hunting boots, and be thankful that I can wear pretty much any off the shelf pants.

Good luck!
