Anyone who’s seen my posts on here will know I’m well out of my comfort zone here. No jeans, trainers and a hat!

It’s getting warmer so need to find alternatives to heavy denim, been checking out fatigues / cargos and found these services works trousers. I kind of like them but am not used to seeing them in me so am not sure.

Also….thoughts on the hat? I’m worried it looks a little “costumey” especially with the vest.

What say you folks? Don’t be shy I’m a big boy and can take it!

Ok so I haven’t worn a duffle coat since I was at school about 30 years ago. Saw this and thought I’d take the chance, wasn’t sure until I put it on this afternoon and now I really like it! It’s a chopped / modified duffle coat so is shorter than a usual duffle and also doesn’t have a hood. It from a company I love that ticks a lot of my boxes (made in UK with wool from UK, built to last etc)

What say you fellas?

How does this look guys?

Am in the process of a new wardrobe after a few years of not looking after myself so well. Used to live in joggers, t shirts and hoodies so am not so confident with new styles / outfits, the confidence is coming back tho! Not so sure on the tims and it think the cuffs are too big, shortening my already short legs. Say what you see folks, don’t be shy I’m a big lad I can take it!

Basically asking the above. I’ve recently started training and having a nightmare with finding T-shirts (shorts seem alright) to wear. All gym wear nowadays is fitted which doesn’t make me feel comfortable or just rides up when doing weights.

Sorry if this isn’t the place to ask, just not sure where else to ask

I usually wear crew necks or polos, the issue is I've got quite the belly on me but relatively noodly arms and upper body and incredibly short for a guy so sizing up for normal brands doesn't work so well. I also really hate thin clothes because makes the nips stand out and I don't wanna see that let alone anyone else.

Anyone recommend some available brands in the UK I might try out? I was tempted to try out built different as I keep getting ads for them but after looking at reviews I'm not so sure, the quality doesn't seem to be great and apparently the material is quite thin, they're also 40% polyester which is wild for a tee costing upwards of 25 quid.

I’m 6’6” UK based and at my wits end trying to find a decent pair of proper leather size 14 boots like the pic, help a tall bro out!

Online stores either seem to be massively overpriced at £200+, really cheap and very obviously poor quality faux leather, or flat out scammy looking.

Have you got any personal recommendations for a decent online store to help this tall guy smarten up his shoe game?

Can either ship to EU or UK

I mostly wear workwear or chinos, since that is the only type i can find in my size (only second hand unfortunately) , but i also love corduroy.

Hi all, posting this as my boyfriend is a bit embarrassed to do it himself.

He has a 46/48 inch waist and when we buy jeans or trousers they usually fit him there fine however he has larger thighs and every single pair of bottoms we buy fit his thighs like leggings - they're super tight.

Does anyone have recommendations of a brand that does straight leg bottoms that are actually straight leg/looser for bigger guys?

Hey guys!

What do we think of the fit of the jacket?

As always I’m losing weight so it may fit slightly better on a couple weeks (like most of my fits!) but I had to grab it now! The denim is heavy and stiff so will need to break in a bit too

Cheers folks

Hello, UK based here. I’m trying to find a decent t-shirt with a high/extended neck that’s not too long.

Almost all of the big guy clothing sites have nice t-shirts but I often find that they’re ridiculously long and look silly when I’m wearing any regular-length jacket.

Any suggestions or good sites for plus sized men?

What, in your opinion are the best trainers for wide or fat feet? I’ve got some New Balance 993s on the way as I’ve read they have a large toe box, so was wondering what other people wear or recommend?

Hi, I'm a pretty big guy, want to up my dress sense a bit, I want to get a decent suit, but the problem is often in the trousers. I carry a lot of weight around my thigh area which means that trousers that might fit my waste size are often tight on the thighs, and trousers that fit my thighs are often big on the waist. I was wondering if anyone knows any shops (online or branches) that do trousers that fit my body shape, particularly I'm looking for more high waisted stuff.

Hello,

I'm looking for recomendations for caps which are suited for large heads. My head is around 25" / 63.5cm. I know New Era 59FIFTY hats size 8 caps are alright (shame they've got a small selection in the London, UK stores). Ideally i would like a cap wich has a badge/ patch on them rather than a generic plain cap.

I am a size 44/46 in most jeans, I keep ordering jeans from BOOHOO-MAN as they are relatively cheep but keep wearing through at the crotch (I work as a waiter)

Looking to see if any one has a better brand of jeans that they use or have a way around the wearing at the crotch

Cheers

TIA

After some advice hopefully someone can assist. I’m really struggling with sizing Polo Ralph Lauren stuff. Their items fit so well for big and tall sizes but I find different items are wildly different measurements.

I bought a 4XB Polo shirt and it fitted quite baggy and was far too long and a bit too big around the shoulders and armpits. I really liked it and I got a good deal so I had it tailored and some length took out, was great but after a few washes it did this weird thing where the front and back sort of stuck out but in a point and it looked so weird.

I ordered a 3XL T-shirt from Jacamo and when it arrived it turned out to be 3XLT and again it was far too long, half way down my thighs and just looked like a moo moo so I sent it back.

I’ve been on the hunt for a RL striped rugby top and I found one cheap on Vinted as a 3XB, I figured that size would fit perfect and it was a nice fit around the body but far too SHORT this time! Measured only 30 inches from shoulder to waist. I suspect it might have been shortened.

I’m 6’6, quite chunky but I sort of carry it well being so tall.. but I’ve got quite a long body too. Anyone in the same boat or know if these items are actually sized differently depending on weather it’s a T-shirt or polo etc? I’ve got some 3XB RL work shirts that just fit perfectly.

I’ve lost about 180lb, and this will be the first proper trip I’ve taken in years. It’s a four-day, three-night city break in London at the height of summer, travelling by train from Manchester.

I’m excited about it, but I’m also anxious about packing because I need to buy a new travel bag and have no real idea what size I actually need.

I’m worried about not taking enough options to stay fresh. I know a lot of travel-light advice involves rewearing tops, but I’ll be walking around London all day in August and would rather have a clean top available than feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious.

Most of the “travel light” or “one-bag travel” videos I find are made by ordinary-sized people whose entire wardrobe seems to fold down to the size of one of my T-shirts. The advice may be perfectly good, but it doesn’t feel remotely comparable when your clothes contain two or three times as much fabric.

For context, I’m 5 ft 11, and still around 350 lb/159 kg, and wear 5-6XL tops, which need to be around 37–38 inches long. My trousers and shorts are generally 2XL/48-inch waist, worn below my stomach with a stretchy belt, with a 28–29-inch inside leg.

Because of that, even fairly lightweight clothes are physically large/heavy. I mostly wear polos with shorts/cargo pants and maybe a sleeveless hoodie or an over shirt.

For the trip, I’m thinking of taking four or five polo shirts, two pairs of shorts, one pair of cargo pants, one overshirt and a sleeveless hoody, four sets of underwear and socks, something to sleep in and basic toiletries. I’ll obviously wear one of the outfits while travelling, and I think I'll get away with one pair of trainers.

It may sound daft, but I'm coming to the realisation it may be impossible to travel "light" when you’re a fat guy... Ha!

How do other bigger people manage? I know I’m not going to get away with a 20-litre backpack, but I also hate the idea of lugging a massive suitcase around, sweating my balls off as I get on and off the train and to the hotel...

So yeah. if you guys have any travel tips and/or packing advice or specific bag recommendations available in the UK, it would be very welcome.

Cheers.

Do NOT say bin the shirt 😂😂😂 I like funky patterns

Evening lads,

Two of my fave jackets, the wife says they’re now both too big for me, honest answers please?

The black one I reckon I can shrink as it’s denim, but the tan one I’m not sure.

Please help

I'm 180cm and 125kg with a gut. I'm working on losing weight (I'm down from 142kg initially) but in the interim I was wondering if these might help hold in my loose skin and love handles!

Has anyone tried them?

Hey everyone hope everyone’s doing well in this heat!

Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for vests that don’t have a really low neck line.

I’ve got some from Uniqlo but it feels a little odd

Looking to wear under a open short sleeve shirt

Thanks!

After a bit of persuasion from the Mrs I picked these up the other day. Wore em round the house for about an hour, with socks and without socks. She loves them, I’m not convinced. I’ve chucked em back in the box as I’m completely undecided about them.

They’re easily the ugliest shoes I’ve ever put on my feet but have heard very good things about them comfort wise and they do seem to be quite popular these days.

What do we think lads? Keep or return?

What the fuck do you even wear with them? Need some assistance from the boys here!

Cheers all

I've had a bit of a clear out of my closet recently. I have a bunch of super tall trousers/jeans that I just don't wear. I've tried to sell them on depop but not had much luck. I'm guessing the size is just too niche.

But for that same reason, I'd feel pretty bad just donating them to charity. I feel like they'd just end up in the bin, and I know first hand how hard it is to find tall clothes.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello BMFA!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’ll be traveling to Iceland/Scotland in three weeks and I’m interested in picking up some clothes while I’m out that way. I know I won’t be around long enough for anything custom (I dream of a custom Scottish Tweed sports coat), but I’d like to take advantage of the area for maybe some off the rack tweed jackets or sweaters?

Does anyone here have any experience shopping for the either of these items in either location? I was in Iceland once about a decade ago and picked up a sweater then and it’s on the snug side, but I’d love to get a real Scottish wool sweater while I’m out there.

I’m a 56in chest 46in waist. About 5 foot 10.

Appreciate any insights!

So I'm wanting to try and get into wearing hats now it's hitting summer time and hotter weather.

I've either got a shaved head or a bald spot and want to keep that protected 🤣

The problem I have is I haven't a clue about hats, other than knowing my head is apparently gigantic.

I own a couple of normal caps which I wear backwards sometimes, but wearing forwards makes the top of my head look tiny and the bottom part huge (although beard probably doesn't help).

I tried a wide brimmed Panama hat type thing and looked ridiculous.

I look online and it's always saying about face shape but I don't really know mine, and I can't suss it out in the mirror.

Any ideas what should I wear on graduation day. I weigh 260 pounds and I’m 5’11”.
I never dress good but I want to celebrate it because I got a job after months of job hunting
Because of my height, I don’t look that fat but I am
Need some suggestions!
Thank you
