Sharp Dressed Man: An Editorial On How Big and Tall Should Be Big and Fit!

If you have met Peachy, we hope you'll agree great things come in small packages, however, Whom You Know is not about Peachy, it is about excellence in all shapes and sizes.  This includes big and tall people!  If you are an avid reader of Whom You Know, you know we follow the gospel of Mirelle Guiliano and French Women Don't Get Fat, although we are not in fact french and not everyone here is a woman.  Her philosophy is shared by everyone part of Whom You Know, and there is no one overweight on the panel as we are committed to fitness and enjoying life to the fullest concurrently.  It has come to our attention by one of our most Sharp Dressed Men that being so sharp at a height of 6'11 is not an easy feat, particularly when you are not fat.


So, manufacturers of Big and Tall Men's Clothing, we beckon you to be true to the English words Big and Tall: please make clothes for men that are big and tall!  We understand that many such shops make pants at a maximum length of 36" which is not tall by our standards.  The 36" length looks like a pair of clamdiggers on really tall people and unfortunately if you are not Peachy herself, not every day is a day at the beach.  They could wear knickers...but they aren't always able to spend the whole day on 18 holes.  And you are not making designs for those that are big and tall necessarily-you are making clothes for those that are big and large, to be polite.  To those that tower over munchkin Peachy at Whom You Know, anything under 6'2" is short and finding pants that are long enough for the seriously tall is difficult, nevermind if they are not in line with your width.  They want to wear pants, not skirts.  They will break out a kilt for St. Patrick's Day...  Please please please Big and Tall Men's Clothing shops, make sharp clothes for our Sharp Dressed Men that are tall and fit.  Maybe you can call them Fit and Tall Men's Clothing Stores!  We will critique you...We are not aware of this being a problem for women, but if it is, please post a comment!
