I know that this is a knife site, but I'm looking for some places with actual storefronts, for fat guy clothes. I lost 50 lbs but still have a hard time finding fat guy clothes. Currently 365 lbs with a goal weight of 250 lbs. I've been to Casual Male XL, but their prices are horrible, their clothes aren't of the best make (ever had a button pop off your pants like a .50 caliber round). I've seen a few other big and tall sites, or as I call them fat guy stores. I've gone from a size 56 pants a couple years ago, to a size 48, comfortable too. Looking for any clothing from casual to formal. I prefer 4XLT still but can fit in 3XLT without looking like a shopping bag full of fighting otters... Stuff at the discount stores like Burlington or Gabe's is hit or miss.

I see a lot of tactical stuff, all I'm looking for is well made clothing. I'd like to make it down to 2xl shirts and 40x30 pants, but that is a ways off.

Thanks for your help.
 
I feel your pain lol. I've been all over the scale in weight. I've found stores not to be too fat friendly. even though our nation has gotten a large overweight consumer base. Your right about the the big stores. no one wants to pay $15.00 for one pair of Pakistani underwear,haha. I do most of my shopping online to get regular brand clothing in a bigger size but it's still challenging on a budget. I've found your pretty much dealing with hit or miss. Sometimes, I will see a 48 or 50 Levi's at Walmart but not often. The stores don't start getting kinder till you hit the 44 Mark. Probably wasn't to much help to you but until you get smaller your going to deal with hit or miss or overpriced no name horrible clothing at big and tall specialty store.
 
I am on the bigger side, I find Tractor Supply will have larger pants and shirts. I like Carhart clothes, they seem to run the bigger end and typically have bigger sizes.
 
Although they don't have a brick and mortar store, the website 'madeinusaforever' carries Texas made jeans in relaxed fit up to a size 48, and prices start around $28 per pair. They also have USA made jackets by King Louie in big and tall sizes (I think they go up to 5XL in a lot of items). They have a bunch of other items and brands as well, and the excellent thing is that most of their stuff is reasonably priced, and all of it is made in the USA.
 
I'm a fan of JCPenney's Foundry Line. Their Polos are all I wear for work.

Most shirts are too short for me. Though I'm only 5'10", I have a long torso so they'd hit me right at the waist line. The Foundry's shirts are of the appropriate length without sleeves cut for a spider monkey.

That was always the trade-off before. A shirt that's too short or sleeves that are way too long.

They're nicely priced too. I stick to Levi's and Dickies for pants mostly.
 
Fellow Husky Forum Brothers, you're happiness is only a click away. Duluth Trading has brick/mortar stores, online shopping and catalogs.
Their prices are a little steep but their quality is off the charts. The only thing that might give you pause is that a large part of their
inventory is imported.

Good hunting..............

What Bob said:thumbup: the only thing I've noticed is their shirts run a size smaller than you'd normally order (Polo & T-shirt) wise, at least in my eyes. I usually wear 2XL but with Duluth Tradings xtra long T's/Polos I order Xl:thumbup:

Pant wise, I find their sizes to be correct. They are Spendy but as Bob said their quality is top notch:thumbup:
 
I found Columbia and Carhartt fishing shirts, these are the cooling shirts, the Carhartt Force button down cooling material, sort of like Under Armor, and the Columbia uses something similar. Cheap, and I went to Gabes, used to be Gabriel Brothers.
