        Tatman, I know it sucks being that tall but you should make the most of it! Seriously, being tall commands a lot of respect and many people would kill for it…..I've even heard of people literally trying to lengthen themselves through what seems to be almost like a torture device.

        Those people need their heads checked.

        Seriously though, like anything it has it's ups and downs.. The perks are things like you mentioned the downsides, at least for me, is finding clothes that fit, cars that fit, etc. I remember going to look at a mustang to purchase back when the body style first changed in the 90s, I was in live with mustangs at the time for some reason, and was so stoked, had the money together for the down payment had already talked to the bank about a loan and everything was set…. And then I attempted to sit in the one I had been eyeing and feck me if I couldn't get in at all even with the seat cranked back as far as it could go... This was the first time of MSNY car ventures that have led to disappointment. It's just particularly frustrating when you really like nice things but tall folks get left outbid the equation because it's just not economical to make goods for the small percentage of people with legs or arms as long as mine. But as you said, there is always a bright side to every gloomy cloud

            Give us some hints Rafa, do you need a hood, waterproof, padded/ insulated?

            What about an N3B? Classic winter wear and I might have a Buzz One going for a good price  😉

                I was going to recommend the IHJ-08, but I don't think there are any left on IH.co.uk in your size 😞

                  no N3B for me, sry 😉 a nice p-coat (IH, BR, …) would be right up my alley...or something like the 3sixteen duffle coat would be the kindy style i'm after!

                    Thought you mentioned the IH peacoat before. I just assumed you'd already set your heart on it?

                                I seriously love the fit of my stevensons, but the only thing throwing me off are those two vertical lines near the crotch. Am I being paranoid? Hopefully they'll go away with wear….thoughts?

                                  Moncler for fashion, Canada Goose for a classic look, Marmot for value if you're talking down. Or Feathered Friends for the Michelin man look.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    GMB,is the waist loose and being cinched be a belt?  That's what those lines look like to me.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Look at the Schott 35 oz Melton pea coat. Great value.

                                      I was thinking more of what I consider to be winter necessities where I love, down parkas.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        The waist is definitely not tight. I'm not sure if Id call it loose though, my pants down fall down without a belt

                                          That's what's causing the lines… Too much material in the top box gathering by the belt pulling it together. I have the same problem with my 666s and it hasn't gone away so planning on selling them cause it drives me crazy personally

                                            Going to Vegas to work for 4 days. Staying at Caesars Palace Nobu. Any PG13 recommendations? Probably won't go to any shows and my days will be filled with work so I mostly need restaurants. Zhivago recommended some stuff like Morel's steakhouse so I'll probably hit that up if I can get in.

                                            Any cool stores or places that just have to see?
