So L goes from S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, etc.

But there's only one T option?

I don't have the problem with Dillard's or Eddi Bauer, but at Penney's I often would really need an L2T or an XL2T. Before I lost weight, I used to be hoping to find a 2XL2T or 3XL2T, but alas there were none.

I guess I'm grateful that I don't have to have things made from scratch by a tailor. And don't get me started on car shopping or public (plane / theater) seating!
My experience with the Big and Tall stores has been a total bust

They are all big AND tall - In other words if you are looking for 4xl tall great but dont expect to find LT Large Tall
Like you I would LOVE a extra tall option - even if it were just to counteract all the too short stuff Ive worn over the years
Final rant - Foley's had a store brand that was decent quality at a decent price and sold Large Talls - Macys bought Foleys and immediately stopped making the Talls

I'm tall and thin, started buying shirts/t-shirts one size bigger than normal, but that still wasn't enough to hide the grip when worn at 3-5 O'clock.

For the last year or so I've been AIWB carrying (about 1 O'Clock). Not only is it the only place it conceals well on me, but it is also more comfortable, and a marginally faster draw. The downside is when I'm driving or sitting I have a loaded gun pointed roughly at my femoral artery, but I've yet to hear of a gun going off on its own in a quality kydex holster. I do pay more attention re-holstering now than I otherwise would.
