Classic Outdoor Style Built for Every Adventure
Eddie Bauer is an American outdoor clothing and lifestyle brand known for combining rugged performance with everyday comfort. Founded in 1920, the company has a long history of innovation, including designing the first down jacket patented in the United States. Today, Eddie Bauer offers a wide range of apparel, footwear, and gear suited for both outdoor adventures and casual wear.
The brand is particularly recognized for its reliable quality, practical designs, and commitment to versatility—making it a go-to choice for those who enjoy the outdoors but also want timeless, functional style for daily life. Eddie Bauer’s Tall and Extended sizing options are well-regarded for their fit and comfort, providing excellent choices for taller individuals seeking performance-driven clothing.
The Tall Guy Guide
Where they stand above:
- The availability and variety of tall sizes for pants, shirts, casual wear, outdoor wear, and others is fantastic and one of the first go-to stores for me finding Tall sizes.
- The quality exceeds the price point and they are very good about Sales and Discounts and even have a Reward Program available for extra savings.
- Great resource for cold weather options like jackets, puffies, vests, parkas, etc.
- They have stores across the country and I have found tall sizes available, which is nice to try on, but wouldn’t bank on it. Can be nice for returns and at least seeing items in person.
Where they fall short:
- The fit… As mentioned they have a great assortment of outdoor jackets, however, I’ve struggled between XLT being too big and LT just not fitting right. For example, a puffy jacket will be long and wide enough in the LT, but then be really tight around my shoulders and armpits, and then I go to a XLT and it’s too wide.
- Minor gripe, but it seems the majority of their graphic t-shirts say Eddie Bauer, which I know is their branding, but sometimes some basic graphic tees are nice without the brand name.
- Not too many complaints otherwise
The Tall Guy Size Recommendation: It Depends…
- As seen in the photos below, the Large Tall almost works, but I feel the XL Tall fits my shoulders and width a little better, while providing the length. Therefor the XLT is a better fit for me.
- If you have a little smaller frame than I do, the Large Tall might be recommended
- Be sure to check my SIZE GUIDE for a better fit guide for you.
