clothing in tall sizes

lumberjack, golfer, jock.

those are the general options for me--i'm 6'8". of course, big and tall shops also tend to lean toward the big--i'm only 200 lbs at that height. fairly slim.

since i'm over 6'4" (what some stores call "extra tall"), i have little chance of finding things that fit well. i have a few things that, by fluke of production, fit pretty well because of an extra-long cut or some other quality of the shape which i bought back when urban planet still sold men's clothing. but now... not so much. and there's really no place i can go. and urban planet's clothes aren't exactly built to last.

so, i look online and have found nothing for me in years of occasional and, admittedly, limited searching (other than old navy, gap, american eagle--which means the wrong sort of plaid and loads of khaki). does anyone know of a store that sells online that has something in the way of tallish sizes or generously long cuts for clothing that could better fit the goth category?

signed,
i can't really be the tallest goth, can i (?)

I suggest trying eBay. If not, you might just have to look in thrift stores and maybe even get into sewing and creating your own. Maybe buying something from those mainstream stores and dyeing them a different color might work. That's all I can think of for now.
