A men's tall flannel shirt should fit the chest comfortably while adding the sleeve and body length that a regular size is missing. Choose by chest measurement first, then confirm sleeve length and center-back length. Sizing up in a regular shirt is not the same as choosing a tall size because it adds width as well as length.

Several Demons Behind Me flannels offer LT through 3XLT sizes when available. Shop current men's flannel shirts and tall sizes, then use the product-specific chart to confirm your fit.

Regular vs. Tall Flannel Shirts

The main difference is proportion. A tall flannel adds length through the sleeves and body while keeping the chest range aligned with the corresponding regular size.

Current DBM size	Chest	Sleeve length	Center-back length
Large	42–46 in.	34.5–36.5 in.	32.25 in.
LT	42–46 in.	37.5–39.5 in.	33.25 in.
XL	46–49 in.	35.25–37.25 in.	33 in.
XLT	46–49 in.	38.25–40.25 in.	34 in.
2XL	49–52 in.	36–38 in.	33.75 in.
2XLT	49–52 in.	39–41 in.	34.75 in.
3XL	52–55 in.	36.25–38.25 in.	34.5 in.
3XLT	52–55 in.	39.75–41.75 in.	35.5 in.

These measurements reflect the current DBM flannel size chart. Always check the individual product page before ordering because product specifications and availability can change.

How to Know When You Need a Tall Flannel

Consider a tall size when the chest of a regular shirt fits but one or more of these problems remain:

• The cuffs sit well above your wrist bone.
• The sleeves pull too far up your forearms when you reach forward.
• The hem rises above your waistband when you move.
• The shirt will not stay tucked.
• You size up only to gain length and end up with too much fabric through the chest and waist.

How to Measure for a Tall Flannel Shirt

Measure Your Chest

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across your back. The tape should be secure without compressing your body. Use this measurement to choose the base size before comparing length.

Measure Sleeve Length

Keep your arm relaxed with a slight bend. Use the same method described by the product's size chart and compare the result with its listed range. If you are between regular and tall sleeve ranges, consider how much movement and layering room you prefer.

Check Center-Back Length

Center-back length helps determine where the hem will sit and whether the shirt will stay tucked. Compare the product measurement with a shirt you already own that fits well.

Big Sizes and Tall Sizes Are Not the Same

“Big” generally refers to additional room through the chest or body. “Tall” refers to longer sleeves and body length. Some men need both, which is why the DBM chart includes options such as 2XLT and 3XLT. Match the chest first, then confirm the added length.

Choosing a Tall Flannel for Layering

Measure and try the fit over the type of shirt you plan to wear underneath. The flannel should button without pulling and let you reach forward comfortably. Avoid adding excessive width simply to accommodate a thin T-shirt; compare the next size only when your chest or shoulder measurement calls for it.

Current DBM Flannels With Tall Options

Tall-size availability changes with inventory, but several current product pages include tall measurements and options. Two places to start are the “Redemption” Teal, Black & Grey Flannel and the “Gentleman” Black & Grey Flannel. Check each page for the sizes currently available for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much longer is a tall flannel shirt?

It varies by brand and size. In the current DBM chart, LT through 3XLT add about three inches to the listed sleeve range and one inch to center-back length compared with the corresponding regular sizes.

Should I buy a tall size or size up?

Choose a tall size when your chest fits in the regular size but the sleeves or body are too short. Size up when your chest, shoulders or desired layering room require more width.

Do tall flannel shirts have a wider chest?

The corresponding regular and tall sizes in the current DBM chart share the same chest range. The tall version adds sleeve and center-back length.

Will a tall flannel shrink?

Current DBM flannel product pages warn that shrinkage can occur. Follow the care instructions on the exact product, wash cold when directed, and avoid high heat.

Can a shorter man wear a tall flannel?

Height alone does not decide the size. Use chest, sleeve and center-back measurements. If a tall shirt creates excessive sleeve or body length, choose the corresponding regular size instead.
