Do the other big men out there in Sydney have trouble finding quality clothes and shoes?
I do.. and I like having decent 'brand' named clothes.. but lately its becoming harder.. Ive been buying stuff from the US and getting it sent over. Stuff like Jean Paul, Versace, Armarni, Hugo Boss, hell even Tommy now.. Harder to find in sydney in big sizes.. Everything from sunnies, jeans, Tee's and shoes.. The guys at Ron Bennet in Parra pretty much know everything about me im in there that often, but their range is limited.. Anyone help or recommend any other stores around? Thanks, Matt |

there's a mail order service in the uk calles 'big and tall' don't know the email add but give it a try.
designers seem to making allowances for the larger ladies but not for the men so far. i'll have a word with julian mcdonald- he's me mate- when he's home in merthyr tydfil. |

Wow, those brands are way out of my price range! But I do have trouble finding clothes that fit well, even though I mainly wear Tarjae (thats fancy for Target lol).
Maybe you should consider getting clothes tailor made. I am assuming it's more formal wear you buy (ie shirts, jackets, pants or suits although I know they make underwear and T-shirts etc). You are probably paying similar money for the designer brands anyway.

Bseries Club shirts are able to be ordered up to size 5XL - just a shameless plug

The problem i've found is i'll buy a large shirt and find its a bit small all round, go up to XL and they're made wider but not longer...very annoying

If you are looking for a casual shoe, you can try any of the skate shops, as i do, most brands there go up to a 16 im a 14/15, if I need dress shoes I got to RM Williams and get a pair of boots, they cost but they last

I often buy their jeans, which I reckon you'll struggle to beat in quality from anyone else. |

there's a place at Bass Hill plaza called Hughes. They have heaps of big mens stuff. Not totally sure if you're purely looking for brands but they do have some nice clothes
