Right then, im 6'3", 18 stone, 40" waist and find it so hard to find clothes, jeans mainly.

 

After a shopping trip tonight round the Trafford Centre i realised that i wont be able to walk into any shop and buy some that fit, so online it is.

 

Has anyone used any decent sites (had a look on jacamo but it looks cr@p)

http://www.laredoute.co.uk i had to order some fitted shirts from here as all the sizes i wear are like tents due to neck size pain in the ass, waiting for them to arrive :)

 

Jacomo, Cotton traders, all do big sizes. Jacomo is low-end clothing, good for slobbing about the house but not for going out on the pull.

 

Cheers lads i will take a look.

My Wife tends to do most of my shopping for me. Always has a nightmare getting jeans for me that fit. The difference in a 38" waist from retailer to retailer is just insane. I have 38" jeans that are huge on me and 42" jeans that barely fit. The trouble is that apparently everyone in the UK is either supposed to be tall and thin, or short and fat. If I want 38" waist I have to dig through about 40 pairs of 30" legs to get to a pair of 34s..... if I can actually find any.

 

Anyway, I'm not really going to be much help unfortunatley. Even my Wife would struggle to say for sure as it's generally pot luck :(

I have absolute nightmares trying to find stuff to fit too, especially jeans! I'm 6ft7 but only around the 15-16 stone mark and 36" waist so it's more getting clothes that are long enough than anything. All jeans I try on seem to be like drain pipes, can barely get the things on! Shoes can also be a tough task :(

 

ASOS aren't bad at all for everything except jeans, have a looksie there :)

The tall/ skinny short/fat thing is what annoys me, my legs are around 35" so i can just get away with 34's if i wear them gangsta stylee low but really need 36.

 

I walked round the entire Trafford Centre and went in every clothes shop to try on jeans and not one shop had any in the right shop apart from levis who wanted to give me some 60's throwbacks, i went safe with what i normally buy for work and went to next, made the fatal mistake of not trying them on, paid got home and then tried to fit my fat @rse in them :(
