Same boat here - 6'6" with 27" sleeves and skinny (albeit increasingly less so with age). Finding a good local alterations tailor has changed my sartorial life - as long as a shirt fits in the neck and sleeve then the chest can be taken in for about $10. Same with slacks - there's usually a few inches of extra fabric for waist or hem increases that cost maybe $20.
I also looked into online made-to-measure services like Indochino ($60-120 per shirt for full custom) but I find I get higher quality buying off-the-rack on discount and having it tailored.
