Tall men have problems the rest of the world can never imagine.
But when your size is 16 by 37, your choices become very limited. That's where Syms comes in so handy. Syms is the department store where unwanted merchandise goes home to a reasonably priced last chance to make somebody happy. The store is famous for its mark-down policy, in which customers can play a game of roulette with their favorite sportcoat, watching it go down in price every few weeks and hoping nobody else scoops it up first. Syms has thousands of dress shirts on shelves in the men's department, toward the back of the store, but even there hope often seems lost for our hapless tall man.
