Large is pretty standard size for tall men. Pretty much required over 5'11.

I'm 6'2" and 180lbs and large still fits baggy on me most of the time. Which is annoying for gifts because most people think the same way and gift large or extra-large clothes without gift receipts so I end up having to drive them over to the salvation army.

Large, non bespoke shirts off the rack, are longer. Which is required for taller people. I have the same issue, which is why I look for fitted shirts in large. 6'1 175lb.

Depends where you are? I'm in the UK and 189cm tall and I always wear medium.

Then somehow your mediums are very long. Medium is just way too short stateside. While it fits the chest, it doesn't lengthwise.
