To all the "vertically blessed" out there...

This is very off-topic, but you are all so knowledgeable, I thought someone may be able to help.

I have been searching for a black leather blazer. Of the 75 or so that I've tried on, all have sleeves that are too short! Does anyone know where I could find a leather blazer that is a bit longer in the sleeves? I've tried Wilson Leathers, J. Crew, Eddie Bauer and a specialty boutique called :rolleyes: "Tall Girls." A store in the Denver metro area would be ideal, but ordering over the Internet would be ok, too.

Thanks for any and all ideas!

I know that jcpenney's has a tall women's catalogue, but I have no idea if it would have a leather blazer in it. I've never ordered from it, either. I sympathize with you b/c I can identify with your problem. Unfortunately, I have no other solutions for you. Good luck.

Have you tried ordering through the Eddie Bauer catalog? I am tall also and I have trouble finding stuff that has sleeves long enough. Also, have you tried the Eddie Bauer outlet in Northglenn, just off of 104th and I-25. I have had some success there as well (with shirts and sweaters - no jackets).

In the Eddie Bauer catalog, every item of clothing that comes in Talls. That might be an idea.

you can try JJill (website) or lands end (web) to scan what they have. Lands end is very nice about giving out dimensions of clothing over the phone...check if you like anything, then call for sleeve length before ordering...

I thought I had seen one in an Eddie Bauer catalog, but the one I borrowed from my mom doesn't have one in it. I would still check them out, because most of their styles come in tall. Penny's Talls definitely has one for $159 (could be marked down now) as well as leather pants. J. Jill has some things in talls too. Good luck.

I just wanted to thank you all for your suggestions. After looking at all the suggested web sites, I decided on the leather car coat from Eddie Bauer. Not exactly what I wanted, but I think I'll like it. It should be here soon!

Lara--I'll definitely have to hit the Eddie Bauer outlet. I had no idea there was one in Northglenn.

mlynn, there's also an Eddie Bauer outlet at the factory stores in Castle Rock. Although, one of the sales people there told me that the outlet stores don't get all of the same styles as the regular stores. I always thought they just got the stuff that was out of season, but apparently, some or most of the stuff is unique to the outlet stores. I usually find better stuff at the "real" Eddie Bauer stores.
