Quite short, all my shirts are way to big as well. Makes me look shorter.

I am not tall but at 6ft I am hardly short either. I'd hate to be one of those little blokes under 5'10". Little blokes always remind me of vicious little Jack Russels, full of piss and bad temper.

I bet seckle's mental health problems are exasperated by his height problems.

i'm 6 foot 6 and have similar problems. i've found that there doesnt really seem to be much continuity in makes of clothes with the exception of adidas. element arent bad either. most makes are bit all over the place, for instance i got a few zoo york t-shirts and the xl is all over the place...

i really hate when companies (nike is terrible for this) just assume that when you get something thats an XL, it means you're fat, not tall. i swear theres no difference in the arm length between l and xl with nike, they just make it wider. H&M is good for the "tall not fat" XL.

i was 6 foot when i STARTED secondary school. had size 13 feet and was 6 foot 4 when i was 13. stopped growing when i was 18 though. growing pains were a mother fucker, used to pull muscles in my legs all the time. had loads of problems with my achilles tendons when i was 12-14. not fun...

...or, just try them on before you buy them. i've stopped buying t-shirts off the net now, so much disappointment.

what size feet you got? buying trainers is a big problem for me...

i say a big problem, its not too bad, i've got 15 pairs now!

lol!! a 6 foot 13 year old! i went from shortest guy in my class when i was 16 to tallest when i was 18, 1 summer i grew about a foot and a half, I couldnt run properly because the backs of my ankles wouldnt bend! used to bang my head on shit all the time because i wasnt used to having the extra height, and i still havent got and foot-eye coordination because of the extra length in my legs. oh well, alot of ladies love a tall guy so im happy :)

i generally just buy jackets that are too big for me, you can alaways pad them out with a jumper or something :) i find it hard to find hoodless sweatshirts like this: Image

they're normally far too wide
