Hello.  It is usually best to size men's bottoms by waist size so at a 36 I would recommend Large for you.  The length difference between Large and X-Large is not too drastic but the waist circumference will change by a few inches between sizes.  So if you're a 36 I would definitely suggest Large.  
Our tall sizes are a few inches longer in the inseam, rise (distance from the top of the inseam to the top of the waistband) and torso straps.  
I hope that this helps but please let us know if you have any questions at all: 1-800-783-8326 or cyclewear@aerotechdesigns.com.  We are always happy to help.
