At TallGuys, we believe good material is the foundation of every piece of clothing. It affects how you feel in it and how long it lasts. That’s why we choose our materials with sustainability, comfort and durability in mind. And because we know you like quality clothing, we’d love to tell you more about the ones we use.

Why do we make our clothes from organic cotton?
A large part of our clothing is made from organic cotton with GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which guarantees it is both eco-friendly and safe for your health. It is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilisers, which protects the environment and at the same time gives a soft, breathable material that suits even sensitive skin. Thanks to its durability, softness and shape retention, our organic cotton clothing will last you a really long time.
What can merino wool do?
A natural wonder known above all for regulating temperature. It keeps you warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer. It is naturally antibacterial and helps neutralise body odour. Its fibres are very fine and elastic, finer than a human hair. You’ll find sweaters, a roll neck, beanies and scarves in our merino clothing category.
What is TallGuys swimwear made from?
For our swimwear we use recycled micro polyamide blended with elastane. It is made mostly from plastic bottles. The material is kinder to nature and yet durable, dries quickly and doesn’t mind chlorine, sea salt or UV rays. Thanks to the minimalist design, you can wear our elongated men’s swimwear out of the water too: it works great as shorts for leisure or sport.
Does linen clothing shrink?
Linen is a natural material whose breathability has made it the ideal companion for summer. Ordinary linen tends to shrink in the wash. But our linen is pre-washed, so it won’t shrink and keeps its size. The longer you wear it, the nicer it feels. You’ll find shirts, trousers, shorts and dresses in our linen clothing category.
Why is micromodal good for underwear?
For us, this material is a synonym for luxurious softness. It is softer than cotton and has a silky sheen. Because it is breathable and wicks moisture well, it is ideal for underwear you wear all day. Micromodal is made from beech wood cellulose, and the fibre itself is biodegradable. We use it to make boxers, tank tops and pyjamas. You’ll find how to wash it and what else it can do in the article Micromodal: properties, benefits and how to wash it.
Our goal is for you to feel great in our clothes, not only because of their minimalist look, but also because of everything that goes into making them.
