I love the stuff they sell in SuperDry, etc, however I dont fit into them. Im waist 42, (big hips) and no idea up top, but need XXXL ideally to fit. I find myself buying clothes from tesco. Same with Envy...nice stuff but dont stock my size.

Any idea of any brands to look out for (dont mind importing either) that do XXXL or larger, that are of good fashion and quality ?

thanks!
 
High And Mighty. That's where I buy most of my stuff, because it caters specifically to people who are taller/bigger than average.

Edit: and it's pretty much the only shop that seems to sell shoes bigger than size 13.
 
I'm a 42 inch waist, purely due to a beer gut. :p

But I'm 6 foot 4 so it's not as obvious as it would be if I wer shorter.

At 6'8" and a 42" waist myself I have quite a lot of difficulty finding clothes that fit (yes, that is hips and not a beer gut). The biggest problem is how wildly clothes of stated same size actually vary. If at all possible get down to a shop and try before you buy.

You won't find a huge variety of fashionable brands that cater for tall and/or larger sizes. The best seem to be surf brands (for t-shirts and hoodies) and proper outdoor clothing brands such as The North Face, HH, Musto etc.

You'll get the most fashionable clothes from High and Mighty, Walk Tall (loads of large sized shoes) and The Tall Shop. You'll also be able to get some decent clothes from M&S and Cotton Traders if you don't mind being not quite so fashionable. If you are willing to trawl through websites looking for a gem then Amazon, Play, Hard Cloud, Extreme Pie and Shred Head have all yielded gems for me in the past though the vast majority is not big enough.

Just do a search for Big and Tall in google and you'll find a load of sites dedicated to selling large and tall clothes. Be careful though as you'll find a lot of cheap and nasty clothes.

I found sportsdirect to have some sizes in bugger than 13 (Im a 14!). Nike is generally the best bet.
 
I am 6" 3" and 18 stone. and 35 inside leg.

You need to take a look at bigtallorder, sizedwell and bigfishclothing.

Slightly more expesnive but it fits!!

Can't you just diet? then you'll easily fit in the clothes you want (Y) and that my friend, is your motivation. :)

That's all well and good, but you need clothing to wear while you're dieting. You're right though, it's a huge incentive :)

There's also BigOzzy, PremierMan and GHMenswear who sell clothes specifically for the larger man (tall as well as fat), plus M&S and Debenhams also offer some of their clothes in larger sizes.

Oh, by the way, the latest classic Timberland is very generous in fit. I'm normally a 14/15, and the 12.5 wide is lovely and comfy :D
