How tall are ya? I'm 6'5” and I've found things at Kuiu, Cabela's, Amazon, etc.

6’8”. 38” inseam. Inseam is my biggest problem but kuiu guide pants and kryptek talls fit well. Sitka tall shirts aren’t bad but there none to long. Sitka’s are longer than first lite
Same height and inseam as your self and I can second the Cabela's being hit or miss with the sizing.I am 36" inseam. Long torso and freakish armspan. (6'5" height but 6'7" armspan) Kuiu base layers, shirts, jackets, all fit me well.
Cabela's "tall" stuff is very hit or miss. No experience with FL as they were always out of tall sizes when I was building my kit.

I do have a couple of items from first lite purchased this year, so newer sizing. I find myself to be an XL in things where I would like more of an athletic fit, and an xxl if I'k looking for more of a casual fit. I find most of FL things to be VERY stretchy so I generally prefer a closer fit so as not to risk snagging. First lite pants are quite long and I find the tall almost too long, I go with XL regualr if it's an active pant and I intend to wear gaiters.
On a side not for the Cabela's items, I just recently got a chance to check out their newly revamped instinct line which I interpret to be squarely aimed at the western FL, Sitka and Kuiu wearing crowd. All they had in store were the base and mid layers but I was very impressed, I was wearing the Kalamth hoody from FL at the time and the instinct 1/4 zip mid layer is literally identical to it, same fabric, weight, finish and quality, Cabela's new camo pattern(which I must say I like a real lot) had the addition of a face mask ala sitka and I found the sizing to be identical to FL, at 6'5" I could wear an XL having enough sleeve and torso length and a slightly fitted feel, the xxl was just a touch baggy.
None of them have been in stock, I looked at the older listing for the instinct active or glass pant, can’t remember which one and they said 34, but that might not carry over. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I did purchase the mid weight 1/4 zip hoody and hybrid puffy vest, both in XL, fit is good and I’m really happy with the pieces, and the price was great compared to the high end clothing companies.Did you get to try an any of the pants? Wondering how the inseams are. Nothing is listed online.

Sitka. I am the same 6’7” long torso and their non-tall sizes fit well in length and haven’t needed to go tall.Any suggestions on tall jackets though? I'm 6'7 with a long torso. Tried the kings camo jackets in big and tall and they did not work. Looking at pnuma since I can try those on at my local scheels. I'm a 2x tall or 3x tall depending on the brand and if I need to layer underneath
What do styles do you have? The few things i have tried on at scheels just didn't feel right. I tried on Pnuma stuff as well and it was definitely long enough, but reviews online say that their stuff is prone to pilling on the outside and while that doesn't necessarily matter for my hunting gear it still gives me pause.Sitka.
