TallDevin’s specs are wild
There are always questions about size, so I’ll answer the basics here. The chances you’ll meet someone my size in daily life are close to zero • zed • nil. Images are coming soon.
Height & Interference
A bit taller than the average doorframe. I duck out of habit and I’m usually concerned about door closer mechanisms. Height 6’9″ • 2.06 m
Feet & Shoes
Shoes are difficult to find. I can rarely try them on in a store. Here are the shoe sizes I wear:
16 or 17 US • 15.5 or 16.5 UK • 49 or 50 EU
Hands & Gloves
Gloves are also a bit tricky. My fingers are quite long and gloves usually need to be stretchy to work. Hand span is 9″ • 23 cm
Eating & Weight
Mayo Clinic says I require 3500-3800 calories to maintain my weight. BMI calculators don’t work properly and doctors can’t actually tell me what my ideal weight should be. My current weight is 235 lbs • 106,5 kg • 16,8 stone
Shirts
Shirts and pants are a particular challenge. There’s a shirt size LT (Large Tall) that can sometimes work, but a standard L (Large) is usually not long enough to cover the midriff and XL (eXtra Large) is usually too wide.
Pants & Shorts
My legs are quite long, so it can be difficult to find pants long enough to cover my socks. My waist size is 34″ • 44 cm and more challenging is my inseam at 36″ • 52 EU. This means shorts are usually a much safer bet, and I enjoy shorts.
