LANKEE clothing, for the tall and slim

Our philosophy is simple: create quality tailored clothing for the tall and thin.

Being tall and thin ourselves, we understand that regular sizing rarely fits well, and often when something is long enough in the store, after a couple of washes, it shrinks to reveal too much wrist, ankle, or belly. And when you finally to find a t-shirt or a jacket etc that fits long term; by the time you realise that it would be worth buying another one, the season has passed and the item no longer exists.

We intend to fix this by designing clothing specifically for the lanky body shape, keeping the designs classic, and continuing to stock items in the Lankee size; so you know the fit you're getting every time.

Though we are young, and perhaps a bit naive, we are here for you. If you have any suggestions for us to improve our product – please speak out.

PRODUCTS CURRENTLY IN THE DESIGN PHASE INCLUDE

The LANKEE-t: the original ideation; a quality t-shirt that fits the tall man, won’t shrink to your belly-button, and will look good for years to come.

LANKEE for women: an experiment in dress design – we know that the Maxi dress is an elegant woman’s short dress, but what about when you want to show off more than your ankles? Well our summer dresses are designed with the tall you in mind. With waists that actually sit at your waist, and a back long enough to hide your knickers when fixing your heels; this embarrassment free dress will let you focus on having a good time. A LANKEE-t for the femme fatale is also being drafted.

The CURLEE: long Johns for the tall man’s short and curlees

We also have future plans for sports tops and dress shirts, but we must walk before we can run.

In the meantime, please check out some places like www.lankybird.com, www.lankylife.com for all of your lanky clothing needs, and http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/clothes-tall-skinny-men/ for some good tips. 

Why are we bothering to create products tailored only to one body type? Well, partly to clothe ourselves in properly fitting clothes for once, but mostly for people like you:
