Clothes for big men

15 replies

Where do younger big men buy their clothes? I'm looking for a jumper or an overshirt for my DD's partner who is built like a rugby player-because he was one-but currently with more of a stomach than he likes. He likes nice clothes but I know he finds it difficult to find reasonably fashionable things, and I'd like to buy him something nice. Any ideas?

Is he too big for regular XXl clothes ?
What type of style/ brands does he usually wear ?

CurlewKate · 18/12/2024 15:57

I bought him a flannel from Lands End a while ago-the biggest size they do and that was successful. Yes he's too big for XXL-he's very broad shouldered. I'm afraid I don't know what brands he likes-but he likes plain things- I think he would like Cos, but they are much too small for him.

Jacomo?

You could try HebTroCo depending on budget.

I've bought my 3XL very tall DH a few bits from there. He baulks at the price but they last and look good.

Community Clothing will have have some too.

If he is very tall, DH finds the Next and Fatface extra long or extra tall range good. Not sure how big they go though.

DH is big and has some tops from True Classic which he loves.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 18/12/2024 16:28

Boohoo do a good extended range at the budget end of the market.

Espionage are good for tops, t shirts, shirts. I believe 2XL - 8XL.

Bad Rhino. It's part of Yours Clothing.

@TiramisuThief "Community Clothing will have have some too."

He's got a lovely rugby shirt from them-but they have sold out of a lot of the bigger things.Serves me right for being a Last Minute Larry!

Thank you everyone- keep them coming!

DH is tall with wide shoulders and likes Gant shirts. Agree fat face are good for length too.

marmiteloversunite · 18/12/2024 20:14

Built different are great for t-shirts and polo shirts. They wash really well too.

Raging Bull - made by rugby players
DH and his mates are big fans

Premier Man catalogue is worthwhile.

Another vote for Raging Bull plus Canterbury Clothing Company, originally from NZ and makers of quality rugby inspired kit.
I've used both of them and can attest to the quality.
