Fashion questions for those of us with bigger partners (3XL plus)
Dh is a big boy, a mix of overweight and big build. So we have to shop for him in the bigger mens sections. We really struggle with this, as either it means old man styles or a lot of money (even then the styling is still not right for DH).
Even if DH loses all excess weight, he would still be in big boys clothes, he could only ever by from the normal range back in the 90's when the fashion was super loose.
Was wondering does your partner struggle to find clothes? Where do you tend to shop? Do you have much luck online? We normally shop at Target, but they seem to have drastically reduced the range (don't worry I have lodged a complaint )
DF is a big guy. Like your DH, it's a combination of weight and build. He mostly lives in t shirts and jeans (which makes things a little easier), so we buy online. US sizes are much more generous than they are here. Most of his T shirts we get from Teefury and he just bought some Levi jeans from Amazon.
DH gets a lot of his tshirts and casual shirts from Target, tshirts from cafepress online (mostly ones he wears when dj'ing because he gets designs that suit the profession), and most of his work professional work shirts are from Lowes.
So are any of you finding a reduction in range at Target? Just wondering if it is a local thing, which is stupid, as the locals around here tend to be on the larger size.
My hubby is a biggun as well, and I've been scoring awesome stuff at Myer for him!
There is a new brand *Jack Stone* which caters to the larger man
When they had their sales a few months back, I scored him 2 pairs of cargo style pants (for his golf), 4 polo shirts, a pair of shorts (for golf again ) all for $58!!!
And, the best thing? he finds them SOOOOO comfy! I have seen denim shorts and jeans, dressier tops, jackets etc there as well ...
Also, if he needs business style shirts etc, Van Huesen (sp) have big mens shirts as well
Oh, and for cool tshirts try threadless dot com , an American tshirt place... FUN!
I don't have a big partner, but my brother is big. He buys a lot of surf brands for his shorts - he likes the 3/4 type ones too and they are quite nice, just a plain denim with a small logo on the back pocket usually. Our target is crap for larger mens clothes too - it's all just horrible t-shirts in dodgy dark colours or really baggy track pants.
Mainly Rivers for Work Shirts & T Shirts (long & short sleeve). Jeans and Cargo shorts from Just Jeans and work pants from Lowes. He is a XXL-XXXL but finds at Rivers the XXL fits fine and their work shirts are sold by correct sizing (ie: he is a 44).
Astrid, definitely ask the well dressed guys where they shop. DH is very slim and we have the same problem on the opposite end of the spectrum. People are usually pretty accommodating and kind of flattered when you mention your hubby can't find nice clothes that fit anywhere, and where did they buy them
DF is a 6xl in tops and usually a 3xl in pants but can get away with some xxl's. He has a HUGE gut and it makes it so hard to find anything flattering!!!
He is the same in he loves 3/4 shorts but they are no where to be seen... Argh!!!
Target has definitely reduced their range but I must check out myer!
