Why Lanky Llama?
Lanky Llama is the world's first and only clothing company exclusively for lanky guys. As lanky guys with long arms and lean athletic builds ourselves, we struggled for years and wasted thousands of dollars on T-shirts and shirts that simply did not fit. T-shirts that were long enough on the arms and torso were always too wide. And shirts that were slim enough were too short on the sleeves and torso. In short, we were tired of choosing between looking like we were wearing our kid brother's t-shirt, or one made for Lavar Ball.

How does a Lanky Llama T-shirt fit?
Lanky Llama t-shirts are designed as an 'athletic' fit (slim, but not too tight) with a little extra length on the sleeves and torso. For an even slimmer fit, we've designed our shirts so that if you size down, it should still be long enough on the torso and sleeves. The sleeves are designed to reach the middle of the bicep on long arms. The waistline settles a couple of inches below the waist on long lean men. Bottom line, if you’re long and lean like us, a Lanky Llama shirt will feel like it was custom made for you… because it was.

Do Lanky Llama shirts shrink?
We understand the frustration of buying shirts that fit when you buy them, but don't after you wash them. That's why all Lanky Llama shirts are pre-shrunk. However, you should still expect to see a minor amount of shrinkage of approximately 1/4 of a size. For best results, be sure to follow the care instructions included on the inside label.
Are these "tall tees"?
No, not really. From our experience, t-shirts out there labeled as "tall tees" are either (a) the baggy hip-hop style from 2005 that reach your knees, or (b) more of a "big and tall" option for abnormally large guys. The "tall" tees out there simply are not made for lanky guys like us. Lanky Llama shirts are different.
Our t-shirts are designed exclusively for guys with lanky, lean, or athletic builds with long arms and torsos, not "big and tall" fellows. But if you are a tall guy and are slim or athletically built, you're in the right place. Check out our sizing guide to find your perfect size.
