Damn there are bunch of you tall fellers on this site.  :chuckle: I've got the opposite problem. I had to shorten my KUIU britches. Jackets/shirts usually fit me just right

You might check out Outdoor Research.  https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/en/

I have two outdoor research down that I absolutely love, but they are shorter than the Kuiu. i have not looked to see if they make a tall length variety, so definitely worth checking on the detail.

I don't have any Kuiu jackets but I do have a few shirts. They all fit me fine with room to spare in the arm length and torso length. I think I'm a little smaller than you but not much.

Same here.  I have some merino bases and fit is great.  Yukon rain jacket is my rain jacket and fits great.  All other jackets that I tried weren't as short as the super down, but did bother me a bit, really wanted about 2" more on most of their stuff.  I'm a 36" pant length, but the 34" stay out of the dirt and don't high water too much except when sitting with my knees at 90 degrees, so i can get by at 34".

I would add to your list the First Lite Uncompaghre. Not sure I spelled that correctly...who could...??

Super lightweight and really, really warm and comfortable.

Haha, I can't tell you how many times I've had to look up the spelling on first lite before i google it.  Still not sure how to actually say it.

Thank you Olthunter, I will look into those.  Whacker, I was looking at the ultra pro.
Thanks for the input.   If anyone has more, please add. 

Happy to help, I know the struggles of finding stuff that fits well and doesn't make you look super awkward!

Later part doesn’t bother me, it’s the cold breeze up the backside that gets me.  I used to cut with corks on, so I’m used to short pants.

If you don't want/need camo, look at Eddie Bauer's First Ascent line too. Good stuff and tall sizes.

1 thing with the kuiu I like is the back part of their coats are longer.
I'm 6ft 215 and the xxl super down fits good the front goes down to just below belt line in front and a few inches below in back
