Does anyone know where I can find a mold that is taller than 4.5 inches without me having to ask hubby to make it?
Super tall and skinny mold

Bramble Berry has one, but I don't know if this is what you are looking for.

Cool-looking mold, but I was looking for one that lies flat on its long side and that has sides taller than 4.5 inches.

This doesn’t hit the 4.5” mark, but at 4” for the liner, it’s the tallest one I’ve found. I’m getting ever closer to buying one.

Thanks, Mobjack! The tallest one I’ve found so far is the one I have from Nurture Soap. It’s not quite 4.5 and I only get close to that if I pour up to the tippy top of the liner.
The one you linked above gives the dimensions as 10.5" L x 2.2" W x 3.75" H, but I think I noticed at one point that some of the larger capacity Nuture molds are deeper.
Yes. Mine is the T&S double side by side, which is 4.0”

It says they do custom sizes and the prices seem reasonable, so the custom cost might be reasonable as well. I’ve never used them so no real experience with this vendor.

Great! Thanks, Dibbles!
IF you have any mold already as tall as you like, you could convert it yourself to create a very tall T&S mold as I did 2 years ago with my Essential Depot mold.
See the pictures in my album: https://www.soapmakingforum.com/media/albums/mold-conversion.341/
And I posted about it here: https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/diy-t-s-mold-via-conversion-of-ed-mold.64864/
The ED mold is just under 4 inches, but this is an example of how to do the conversion. It can be adapted to any mold you already have.
You can also use tall cardboard boxes for making a T&S mold using the same conversion idea I had. Before I converted my ED mold for use as a T&S mold, I used a cardboard box from some sandals I had bought as my first T&S mold. It was tall, but not skinny enough, so when I decided to make this adaptation, I first planned to do in the cardboard box, but then realized it would be better to do with the ED mold so it would be more permanent. My cardboard box molds tend to go into the trash at some point due to soap spillage.
