Finding Big and Tall Men's Clothing Made Easy

By Lois R Yang


Sourcing good quality big and tall men's clothing is no longer a difficult task. This was once a specialty sizing category found only in a few select stores, but these days it's readily available in most clothing stores around the country. What's more, what was thought of as "regular" a few years ago has now been re-classified as "big and tall" which means that there are more customers clamoring to find clothing in this category. The widening customer base has led to a bigger variety in clothing choices and prices.

Yet, the fact is that it can be tough finding comfortable clothes that fit if you're not an average size person. Well... no worries, we're about to share some useful tips you can use to find the right clothes that fit and that you like.

First up - get on your cell phone, use the yellow pages, and just call places and ask rather than wasting a lot of time driving from store to store. Ok - you'll just be calling, and you'll probably need to talk to the men's clothing department, then you can ask if they have your size in stock. It's probably best to be specific and ask for the size you usually wear. Just ask if they stock your size clothing instead of asking about special clothing items, etc, just to be courteous.

Obviously, this is a huge timer-save, plus gas and frustration, if you were to drive from store to store and physically checking for what you require. Sizes are not uniform, you can find shirts that really are the same size in different stores - but in one store it may be an XL and in a different one it's XXL, or XXXL.

Shopping for your clothing online is also a great option. Online stores offer a wide range of clothing styles and varieties that can be great, even if you don't always get the chance to try them on before you buy. You can choose from hundreds of online clothing retail stores that cater specifically to big and tall men's clothing. This can be a great way to get the clothes you need without having to deal with crowded dressing rooms and long register lines.

Try to find fabrics that can offer you some support for your frame. Denim can be a great choice for bigger men as it can withstand more weight than slacks or khaki pants. You might find that lighter fabric could accentuate your curves, making them appear bigger, while denim can hold in some of the weight.

Sometimes unusual sizes that don't sell fast are placed on the sales racks. Stores do not have a problem selling the more common sizes, but they do have problems with the uncommon sizes - so that's why you'll find them on the sales racks, and often!

So actually being a size that is not common can help you save money. There are a lot of ways to find big and tall men's clothing that fits you properly. You are no longer required to shop at specialty stores that cater to people of your size. And with the vanity sizing, you may find yourself not a part of that size category, anymore. But now, what used to be 'normal' is now big and tall - so you may find very many stores with that size category. So it won't be that tough to find your size with a little bit of creativity.
