Behind an imposing personality is an imposing figure, and once you hear Nikola Tesla's height, it is clear that he quickly attracted attention when he arrived somewhere. Throughout the rest of his career, he remained a handsome, tall, slender man. He was 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 142 pounds (64 kg), with almost no change in his weight from 1888 to about 1926. Tesla's appearance was a reflection of his spirit.
He was an elegant, stylish figure in New York City, with bright eyes and huge hands, especially remarkably large thumbs. Tesla cared for his appearance, and his grooming, dress, and regiment were as polished in his daily activities as they were in his business. Not something one would imagine when reading about his social skills.
A touch of glamor
Despite his extraordinary character and incredible inventions, Tesla lived a modest life. While there are many records of his simple diet and isolated lifestyle, one aspect stands out - his wardrobe. Tesla's height paved the way for famous manufacturers to design stunning suits and silk shirts. His green suede boots, purple socks and floral ties reflected his sense of glamor. Nikola Tesla's amazing collection can be seen at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Over 50 pairs of gloves in various colors, 75 ties, from cotton to silk, and hats he loved. Finally, 72 pairs of socks in different materials, lengths and colors. A woven bag from Lika (Croatia), believed to be his mother's handicraft, is probably the only thing that has more emotional significance than fashionable.
