Cycling jerseys/shirts for tall riders?
I have been buying from Aerotechdesign in the past but there selection is a bit of limited. I am looking for some funny print shirts or jerseys in TALL sizes.
Basically I am looking for a store which sells tall (1-4)XT jerseys versus just the normal (1-4)XL versions. Thanks for any hints.

Maybe "Fat Lad at the Back"? They certainly have very large and long jerseys.

Good luck. I advertise plumbers crack if I order carelessly.
takes a lot of exchanges before I end up with something mediocre.

I like the Aerotech bibs, jerseys are kinda plain.
My personal fave tall guy options are to be found at https://www.hillkiller.com

I am 6'5 and just use jerseys from Voler, Twin6(who contracts from Voler), Rapha, and Donkey Label. All are long enough in torso length for me. The club fit for Voler and Twin6 are longer than the race fit, for what thats worth. Rapha Core Lightweight jersey is what I have in a couple colors- it too is long enough and has some gripp at the lower back to help stay in place. Donkey Label is a small brand but the stuff just fits great and I dont have to tug at the jerseys, so they are long enough for my standards.
Voler and Twin6 club sizing really is at the long end of things for what I want. I wear that stuff most often because it fits well, but it is right at the edge of how long I want a jersey.
ETA- Twin6 prints are more 'wild' than any of the others. And some jerseys are on deep discount this weekend, for what its worth. I really cant help you with 'funny print' jerseys- I have found that most of those are just cheaply made Aliexpress type jerseys.

Another issue with finding Tall enough jerseys is the pattern styles. Very limited.
I don't want the brand name & logo, just a nice pattern with color scheme options.
let us know if you find something!

The easy way to improve your choices. (Sorry, it's a slow process.) Age. I was 6'1/2" and 150 pounds years ago. Same weight now but 3/4" shorter; all between neck and butt. Those small jerseys with backs and pockets too high? They work now quite nicely. Back then, my jerseys were a mediocre fit or custom. Now an off the shelf Primal works great.
