I'd have guessed 6'2 or so, probably last got measured when he was 16 or 17 and still had room to grow lol. Too tall to be flat 6'1.

This guy can appear 186-187cm range on Whitechapel.
No less than 6ft1, arguably a touch over. Most likely 6ft2 out of bed

Hi Rob,
Rupert Penry Jones is slightly taller than Richard Armitage, who's listed as 6ft2 and a half. They've got quite a few photos together because they both played in "Spooks". You'll easily notice that Jones edges Armitage out a wee bit. Since Jones says that he's 6ft1 when listed online as 6ft2, then it would be safe to assume that Armitage is 6ft1 as well and not 6ft2 and a half.
And by the way, I'm taller than these guys but I have no issue nor difficulty at all in finding a good suit. It's not as if we're 7 footers or anything..

Editor Rob he can seem a solid enough 6ft 1 guy, it would be unlikely he fell much under but I feel roughly around that 6ft 1 mark seems ok for him.

Why would it be hard to find a good suit at 6'1, it's not an uncommon height, like say 5'1 or 7'1.

He's a stunningly good looking British actor. I'd actually have put him a little bit taller.

"As I'm 6ft 1in it's hard to find good suits."
i dont know this dude and ive never heard of him, but this statement is obviously kinda dumb... suits only look good on tall people...
the result of a survey was that 6'2" is the perfect height to wear a suit.
