He’s 190 cm tall—so he started sewing his own T-shirts.

The founder of the TallGuys clothing brand speaks openly about the brand idea, materials, and
what he can’t find in Czech stores—and what inspires his designs.

Tall, detail-oriented, and with a sense of humour. Three words that describe a young, tall entrepreneur who always looks for the simplest path—and helps others walk it. Even though Radek Pilař stands 190 cm tall, he aims higher. Thanks to his great ideas and empathy for other tall people, he created T-shirts that fill a gap in the Czech market.

He’s bringing elongated cuts that keep your back covered during everyday movement—reliably and in style. Which country did Radek have to visit to realise what’s missing in local shops—and why are his tees higher quality than typical fast-fashion pieces?

“How are your T-shirts different from those in regular stores?”

I daresay they’re much higher quality and very comfortable to wear—both in terms of fabric and the range of cuts, so everyone can find their favourite. They also don’t shrink two sizes after washing and they keep their shape. We took great care choosing a premium, pleasant fabric—we use organic cotton. We created our own cuts which are elongated compared to standard off-the-rack styles, so your back won’t be sticking out of our tees.

And besides the elongated cuts?

They really last. Even after dozens of washes they keep their shape, colour, and most importantly their length. You can definitely consider them a sustainable wardrobe piece.
