Clothing for 'Larger Gentlemen'

[ppentertainments]

Well, after weeks of searching I have found a suit and waistcoat which not only looks nice - but fits :o :o

I have a 'typical DJ build' and am constantly finding it harder and harder to find smart clothes - Suits, shirts, trousers etc. that fit. I am not a fashion icon by any means. I used to buy most my stuff from Matalan or Asda and they done the job, but now they don't have the larger sizes they used too (either that or everyone in the NE is a fat :Censored: , so they sell out quickly :confused: :D )

Casual clothes are no problem, as most retailers stock these in large sizes, but my smart wear is proving difficult. Anyone reccomend any shops which stock DJ size smart clothing ??

Have a look on line at these 2 websites, Big Ozzy Clothing Company or Biggerland. I have had dealings with both of them and everything that I have bought from them has been very good quality and their delivery has been very quick. :)

Looked for that but could not find it. There is a massive M&S in the Metro Centre but alas the did not go super size :D :D

What makes most of us PORTLY....that is what intrigues me!!


Constant access to Beer I think would be the biggest Factor I suspect.:confused: :confused: :confused:

:agree:

I would personally get a good tailor and have stuff done bespoke.
Im sure you can find one who is getting married soon.

Looks and style mean allot in this business.
You don't see any of the top performers coming on stage in something they found in the bottom of the wardrobe.

well maybe rab c nesbit or something but you do not want to go down that road.

Here is a man who could teach you a thing or two on places to get good clothes :)
He must weigh 25-30 stone? and has thousands of women who want him.

Unfortunately he ain't going to be doing a lot of teaching as he died in 2003 :(

If only they'd do a 'Short and Obese' range, I'd be sorted. :o

Me too. :D

Toby, sometimes I find what you post seems to say style over substance.

:D

They do do fairly short and stubby sizes; for example I've only got 29" legs even though I'm 6' tall, but sadly the midriff is hovering around 42-44" - no probs.

Therefore as the top bit of me is a bit longer than usual I do appreciate their 2" extra-length-on-the-arms shirts :)

:sadly the midriff is hovering around 42-44"

Youre lucky.

I'm a similar height to you, but 44" is my WAIST size! :cry:

Nothing wrong with being big. The only drawback being flying - I had to book myself into the cargo hold for my flight down to BPM. :ph34r:

[funksoulbrother]

If I'm at my "ideal weight", I should be at least another 14 inches taller....pmsl :eek:

Eating and drinking at the wrong time.
Yeah, raiding the fridge and cellar at three in the morning is a bad move. :( :( :o :o

...wrong food types as well....:(
So when you've cut out the kebabs you'll have a physique like a racing snake? :whistle:

[DJMaxG]

Just find a tailor and get some custom clothes made ;)
