I'm looking online for something to wear for Halloween the only problem I'm having is finding an outfit that matches my height. Most costumes I look at range up to 5 ft 10 or a 33 inch leg whereas I'm nearly 6 ft 3 and have a 34 - 36 inch leg.

I don't have too much of a problem if I have to settle for it but I'd otherwise like any ideas on where I can find some costumes for taller people as I'm having trouble finding them myself.

EDIT: Just found a large outfit with:
31" Leg
40" Waist
42" Chest

Think these companies need to realise a lot of people are tall and slim now.

I don't have this problem because the effort I'm putting into my Haloween costume decreases each year.

You know what I'm going to be this Haloween?

Drunk.

Halloween, what?

Here it's only a sad excuse for younger generation to get free candy. No history, no tradition...

No history or tradition?

I'm going out dressed as one of the most famous duos in gaming and getting so drunk I wake up on the beach with a kid poking me with a stick.

And yes Hobbe I will post pictures don't you worry.

To clarify, when I said "here" I actually meant here... as in, Estonia.
We have a very similar holiday in October, which also involves kids running around asking for candy. Halloween has only recently started to gain poularity and without any real ground.

It was probably popularized in America when the Irish came flooding over in boats to immigrate to a new land things like that happen when cultures clash or new countries are established for example Rome was allegedly founded by brothers Romulus & Remus who were originally from Turkey which is likely why the Romans worshiped Greek gods as Turkey also prayed to the them.
