We are looking for curtains for our family room, the only room in the house with high ceilings. Besides IKEA, what stores have you found that have 98 inch or longer curtains for not a billion dollars? Most stores seem to max out at 95 or 96 inches.
FWIW we want light filtering, not sheer or black out- basically some privacy at night (but its at the back of the house so not a big issue) and block glare from the TV during certain times of the day.

We have some non-standard curtain sizes and have used Amazon and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Good results for both, although you have to be careful with Amazon to find a seller with lots of reviews - I've run into sketchy ones a couple of times.

JC Pennys. They have 50% off sales several times a year and will let you stack coupons.

I had this issue too so I bought 108" tablecloths to use. To attach them to the rod, you can can get rings that have clips on the end like these: https://www.target.com/p/bali-1-5-curtain-rings/-/A-18815332#lnk=sametab&preselect=18802910

I’ve gotten 108-inch curtains from West Elm, Pottery Barn, PB Teen (pb Kids maxes out at 96), and restoration hardware. Then I just get them hemmed to about 102-103”. With a coupon/sale most were reasonably priced - maybe wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Not sure where you are located but if there’s a pottery barn or restoration hardware outlet somewhat nearby it’d be worth a visit - they have awesome deals!

I've done the same thing as @jape14 - it costs like $40 in total to get them hemmed at the dry cleaners plus they steamed them. I've bought from Pottery Barn to Lowes / Home Depot when doing this.
I also have bought the bigger curtains and mounted them higher than I originally planned. It makes the room look bigger. I also love the popular look right now of the pooling at the bottom. My daughter's curtains are about 8 inches longer than I measured needing - I planned on hemming, but when we hung just to see I fell in love.

Check out Country Curtains. Once you get past the name, there is some nice stuff.

Anthro, C+B, West Elm, JCP, BB&B
You may not find the longer sizes in stock at the store and will have to order them.

We custom ordered from Loom Decor with good results. They run sales if you can wait until Black Friday.

@Ms. RV: I prefer the look of the curtain rings anyway! The only thing is you can’t use them on curtains with grommets.
I’m going to check these all out. I didn’t realize how many places had longer lengths.
@jape14: yeah I’m not opposed to hemming them- I have hemmed with the iron on tape for our upstairs rooms already but those ceilings are a lot lower. But having them steamed and hemmed does sound nice.
