Jeans for Tall People

I normally put people off buying from High and Mighty because of their very high prices, but they currently have a 50% off sale on most jeans at the moment, but also if you use the promotional code ESS09 you will get an additional 20% off.
This is a great offer if you like Ben Sherman jeans, I just ordered 4 pairs which would normally of cost £316:eek: from High and Mighty for £126.:D

So if you know any very tall people let them know!

    I actually find that River Island are good.
    Also the Dorothy Perkins tall section.
    Best of all though is LongTallSally. They do 36" and 38" lengths! Fantastic quality too!

    Gosh there are a number of places for Tall womens clothing and jeans these days. I assume when we say Tall thats for women 5'11 and above...

    As some have already mentioned,

    Long Tall Sally is the best all round, they do 35", 36" & 38"

    Dorothy Perkins Tall Section for suits and Jeans etc 36"

    Top Shop for everything tall 35" & 36" (Have not seen them do a 35" recently though)

    Next just started thier tall section 36"

    New Look tall section started last year they do 36"

    Most of Zaras trousers tend to come out long, so could also give them a try...

    I tried River Island jeans about 3 years ago and they did nothing for me height wise, will have to try them again and see if the have improved.

    Gap do 35" 36 " in USA Only, but in the UK they only go up to 34"

    Some original Levis, you can get 36", but they are hard to find as most Levis for women only go to 34"

    Last of all ebay...but be careful, people get confused as to what is tall and what is long. Long just goes up to 33" and Tall in most stores is only 34".

    Hope that helps

    The TopShop sizes are really bad. I usually find that I need to go up a size in there!
    RI is great. Although the slouch ones fit slightly better than the more close cut ones!
    The Next XL ones are only in certain styles, at least in my local stores anyway.
    Zara isn't really money saving but I might try there next time I need a new pair!

    Also for younger taller ladies there's the off shoot of LTS called Tall Girls. It has everything a tall girl could need! Plus shoes upto size 11, which a godsend for those of us blessed (cursed?) with massive feet :p

    I still have not tried the NEXT XL, none in any of my local stores am told they won't be in still Autumn and that I should order online....:confused:

    Yes Topshop sizes are quite small...so don't really mind going up a size. But Topshop and Zara are roughly the same price and better still when Zara have a sale, there trousers go down to 9.99 and even to 6.99...so fantastic money saving for me. Even their Blazers and Jackets go down to 12.99 / 15.99.... I tend to stock up for the year during Zara sales..Topshop sales never go down to 9.99

    :eek: Size 11 feet :eek: Wow you are truly blessed. Sorry can't help with shoes...with this height I wear 6.5 shoes and at a push 7. Its quite annoying as don't get many half sizes and with most 7s, I have to have insoles to make them fit better. I am sure this is why I have a balance problem...but Doc wont believe me.

    How on earth are you tall with feet that small? :rotfl:
    I actually have size 10! Still a nuisance but with the help of a few select places I can have lovely shoes (and clothes).
