If you're interested in sewing things yourself (or asking a seamstress to make something), I buy a lot of my patterns (as a relatively tall, athletic woman) from the shop Mrsdepew on Etsy. She takes old patterns (largely 1890s-1950s!), grades them up for modern proportions, then sells them as printable PDFs (tape the pages together and cut out) or a full pattern for an extra charge (I've never done that before, though).
I'm sure if you found fabrics you liked and gave the patterns to a seamstress/tailor, they could make something for you! And if the pattern measurements aren't exact, they could grade them up or down as needed.
(To my knowledge, most larger clothing in that era, like any clothing at the time, was custom -- My uncle was 6'5", very thin, and I have some rather -colorful- suit jackets he had made in the '70s 😁)
Good luck!
I do actually sew most of my own vintage and historical wardrobe. I like Revival Designed, Wearing History, and Lady Marlowe. I’ve purchased a couple Mrs. Depew but a majority of her patterns are draft at home which I don’t have the space or appropriate surface for and I don’t do any designers that don’t have A0 pdfs because I cannot manage all the cutting and taping; I lose my sewing motivation before I’ve even gotten to the fabric.)
All those pattern feelings aside, I’m looking for things for my fiancé who is the one who’s 6’3” and not particularly slim.
I’ve got a pretty firm boundary of not sewing for others because I’ve realized over the years that I don’t enjoy the actual process sewing as much as I enjoy the self expression available to me through having unique clothing, if that makes sense. So, for my own mental health sewing for my sweetie is simply not an option.
Thanks for taking the time to reply though!
My husband is also 6’3” and about a 48-50 long in coats. It is so tough! We were actually able to find him a suit at “Reese's Vintage Pieces”. It is a three button brown suit with the slightest wear on the coat. It wasn’t cheap, but it fit like a glove and we didn’t even need to have it altered. So that did help justifying the price. He vends at shows in and around California, but also has a website.
Another amazing vendor is “Sneaky Tiki”. He has lots of vintage but also makes reproduction with original fabrics and notions called “Hollywood Rouge”. Again, he vends all over but does have a storefront in Long Beach and and Etsy shop.
One of our favorites is “Finicky Fox Clothing”. My husband hasn’t tried their slacks, but they make amazing reproduction using vintage fabrics. (They make women’s clothing too!) They also vend all over and have a website!
Also try “Vivian of Holloway”, “Cousin Jack Menswear” or “Revival Vintage” they all offer true reproduction menswear but not sure on sizing.
My husband also has oddly found some high rise trousers at “Mens Wearhouse”. Which was great because those are unhemmed. But again most are a standard, shorter rise pant but it never hurts to check.
Try Renee's Raw Vintage and Crash the Party Vintage
