    Question Is that what that means?

    Now there is something I never understood. I always bought my shirts long based on the waist, not my sleeve. I mostly roll the cuff up. Here I was all this time, Thanks Matt

    I didn't realize it was just the sleeve, I assumed the length of the torso would be longer as well to stay in proportion with the longer arms as well. Thanks for the clarification. I guess to deal with extra tall you'd have to go to a "Big and Tall" store?

    Shirts may be different. For instance, I own a shirt that is labelled "tall" in terms of size, and it is much longer in the waist, which helps it stay tucked into your pants (or kilt!) for us tall guys. The sleeves may be a bit longer than norm, but to be honest I didn't even check as it was a short sleeved shirt.

    Looking sharp, there! Kilt for prom certainly makes you stick out in a positive manner

    Sure as h*** beats my prom-gear from 1982: white tux, white shiny shoes and pink bowtie/cumberband (even though it was the thing then...)
