Big and Tall Men’s Size Guide

Finding clothing that fits well is a crucial aspect of dressing comfortably and fashionably.

This big and tall men’s size guide provides valuable information on measurements, sizing, and styling tips to help individuals with larger physiques find clothes that make them look and feel great.

It’s important to understand that not all men have the perfect triangular physique and how we dress, particularly in terms of how our clothes fit us, can dictate how others perceive us.

As a big man myself, there is nothing worse than a T-shirt that’s a little bit too short, exposing my belly. Aside from maybe trousers that tear under the strain but that’s another story for another time.

Understanding Measurements

Before diving into the world of big and tall men’s clothing, it’s important to understand the measurements that are typically used to determine sizing. Here are a few key measurements you should be aware of:

Chest Size:

To measure your chest, wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, ensuring it is snug but not tight.

Waist Size:

Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically located just above the navel.

Inside Leg Length:

The ‘inside leg’ length refers to the distance from the crotch seam to the bottom hem of the trousers. To measure your inside leg length, stand straight and have someone measure from the crotch to the desired trouser length.

Side note on measuring up your inside leg length: To measure your inside leg, stand straight and have someone measure from the crotch to the desired trouser length below the ankle. Ensure the measuring tape follows the natural curve of your leg for accuracy.

Neck Size:

Measuring your neck size is essential when it comes to finding well-fitting shirts. Wrap the tape measure around the base of your neck, just below the Adam’s apple, while keeping it comfortably snug

Choosing the Right Size

Now that you have a good understanding of the key measurements, it’s time to determine your size. Different brands may have slight variations in sizing, so it’s essential to consult each brand’s specific size chart before making a purchase.

When choosing the right size, consider the following:

Refer to Size Charts:

Size charts provide measurements for different sizes offered by a brand. Take note of your measurements and compare them to the brand’s size chart to find the best fit.

We’ve compiled our own size chart which you can find below this guide.

Consider Fit Preferences:

Some individuals prefer a looser fit, while others prefer a more tailored look. Be mindful of your personal style and how you want your clothes to fit.

Look for Big and Tall Collections:

Many clothing brands offer specialized big and tall collections that cater specifically to larger body types. These collections often provide more accurate and flattering fits for big and tall men.

We have our own big and tall collection for the larger man, which allows a bit of extra body length to avoid the embarrassment of the underbelly making an unwanted appearance.

Shirts and T-Shirts

Shirts and t-shirts are essential wardrobe staples for big and tall men. Finding the right fit can significantly enhance your overall appearance and comfort. Consider the following tips when shopping for shirts and t-shirts:

Choose the Correct Neck Size: Ill-fitting shirts with tight collars can be uncomfortable and restrict movement. Ensure that the neck size allows for ease and comfort.

Opt for Longer Sleeve Lengths: Longer sleeve lengths can provide better arm coverage and prevent the sleeves from riding up. Look for shirts with sleeves that reach the mid-bicep or slightly below.

Pay Attention to Shirt Length: Longer shirts that fall below the waistline are ideal for big and tall men. They provide better coverage and avoid the issue of shirts becoming untucked frequently.

Consider the Shoulder Fit: The shoulder seam of a shirt should align with the edge of your shoulder, providing a clean and tailored look.

Trousers, Jeans and Bottoms

Finding well-fitting trousers and bottoms is essential for big and tall men to ensure comfort and style. Here are some tips to help you find the right fit:

Pay Attention to Waist and Inside Leg Measurements: When shopping for trousers, consider both the waist size and inside leg length. Look for trousers that have a comfortable waistband and an appropriate inside leg length to avoid them being too tight or too short.

Choose the Right Rise: The ‘rise’ of trousers refers to the distance between the crotch and the waistband. Big and tall men often benefit from trousers and bottoms with a higher rise, as they provide better coverage and comfort.

Consider Different Styles: Experiment with various trouser styles to find what suits you best. Straight-leg or relaxed-fit trousers can provide a flattering and comfortable look for big and tall men.

Opt for Adjustable Waistbands: Some trousers come with adjustable waistbands, allowing you to customize the fit according to your preferences. This feature can be particularly helpful if you have a larger waist or if you prefer a looser fit.

Jackets and Outerwear

When it comes to jackets and outerwear, finding the right fit is crucial to ensure both style and functionality. Consider the following tips:

Look for Jackets with Longer Sleeves: Longer sleeves prevent the jacket from appearing too short and ensure proper coverage for big and tall men. The sleeves should reach your wrists when your arms are extended.

Pay Attention to Shoulder Fit: Similar to shirts, the shoulder seams of jackets should align with the edge of your shoulders. This ensures a well-proportioned and comfortable fit.

Choose the Appropriate Length: Jackets that fall at or slightly below the hip are generally more flattering for big and tall men. Avoid jackets that are too short, as they can make your torso appear disproportionate.

Consider Layering Options: Layering can be a great way to add style and warmth to your outfit. Look for jackets that allow enough room for layering without feeling constricting or bulky.

Suits and Formalwear

When it comes to formal occasions or professional settings, big and tall men need suits and formalwear that fit impeccably.

Yes, Big Tee Shirt is an online retailer but we believe in being honest and transparent about clothing… If you are in any doubt about getting a suit that fits you correctly… Get professionally measured! Especially if you are an unusual body shape.

Buying a suit online can be difficult to gauge for sizing.

A formal suit for a big and tall man.

That said, here are some tips to keep in mind:

Get Professionally Measured: To ensure the best fit possible, consider getting professionally measured for a suit. Tailors can provide accurate measurements and recommendations for your body type.

Choose Classic Styles: Classic suit styles, such as single-breasted jackets with two buttons, are versatile and universally flattering. They provide a clean and polished look for big and tall men.

Pay Attention to Jacket Length: The jacket length plays a crucial role in the overall appearance of a suit. Opt for a jacket length that covers your rear and falls mid-thigh for a balanced look.

Consider Custom or Made-to-Measure Options: If you struggle to find off-the-rack suits that fit well, consider investing in custom or made-to-measure options. These options ensure a precise fit tailored to your body measurements.

Footwear

Finding the right footwear is equally important for big and tall men to complete their outfits and maintain comfort. Consider these tips when shopping for shoes:

Opt for Wide Widths: Big and tall men often have broader feet, so look for shoes that come in wide widths. This will provide a more comfortable fit and prevent pinching or discomfort.

Choose Supportive Soles: Look for shoes with supportive soles and adequate cushioning. This is particularly important if you spend long hours on your feet or engage in physical activities.

Ensure Proper Fit: Make sure to try on shoes and walk around in them to ensure a proper fit. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can cause discomfort and foot problems.

Explore Extended Size Ranges: Many shoe brands now offer extended size ranges, including larger sizes and wide-width options. Look for brands that cater specifically to big and tall men to find a wider selection of footwear.

Accessorising for Big and Tall Men

Accessorising can add the finishing touches to your outfit and enhance your personal style. Here are some tips for big and tall men when it comes to accessories:

Choose Proportionate Accessories: Opt for accessories that are proportionate to your body size. Avoid small or delicate accessories that can get lost or look out of place. Instead, go for larger accessories like statement watches, wider belts, or bold necklaces.

Experiment with Ties and Bowties: Ties and bowties can add a touch of elegance to formal attire. Look for longer ties or adjustable bowties to accommodate a larger neck size.

Invest in Quality Belts: A well-fitted belt can pull an outfit together while providing functionality. Look for belts that are wide enough to complement your proportions and are made from durable materials. Avoid bonded leather as this will likely stretch more on one side than the other or worse still, split, crack or snap entirely.

Consider Eyewear Frames: When choosing eyewear, consider frames that are wide enough to balance your facial features. Look for larger frame sizes and styles that suit your face shape. Big Tee Shirt are not Specsavers… We do not supply eyewear. Just clothing that will make you look great.

Big Tee Shirt Size Chart:

And finally, because this is probably what you came for… Here is our size chart.

Please note that this applies to all of the Big Tee Shirt branded clothing but may not be 100% accurate for other brands. If in doubt, please get in touch and we’ll be more than happy to ensure your desired item will fit you correctly.

Giants: The Biggest Cover Up In History

Andre the Giant, Goliath, Gulliver. We are familiar with so-called giants of screen and mythology – but what if there was a real-life race of human giants that once walked the earth? And we don’t just mean you Big and Tall fellas out there.

It is a very odd theory indeed, and one that understandably draws sniggers upon first hearing it – until you look at the evidence. To say this is a fringe theory is a bit of an understatement, but hear us out…

Image of a giant mummy from an old newspaper report.

There is some evidence that points to a lost race of giants which preceded modern man. Much of it is old documented accounts that is only now coming to light.

… But didn’t the film Prometheus allude to this, the film fans among you ask? Yes, it did, and the notion is slowly gaining traction with rogue scientists, free-thinkers, and pop culture… Even the new hyped Red Dead Redemption video game has a scene alluding to the theory.

From the Bible referring to a race of giants known as the Nephilim, who were said to have been killed by the Great Flood – to ancient cultures’ beliefs that a race of giant god-like humans brought the knowledge of civilisation back in the murky plains of prehistory, it seems that references to giants are everywhere in the ancient world. Indeed, it is a belief that many cultures and religions have held for a long time.

Now we’re not saying that we subscribe to the theory here at Big Tee Shirt, just that we find some of the so-called evidence pretty intriguing. And as we all know, the Big and Tall guy is a bit of a god in our eyes (and most ladies’ eyes too, wink wink!).

I hear you ask: “But we know giants exist, what about Andre the Giant?” We’re not talking about someone born with genetic gigantism like the late Andre (god bless his massive soul) – but an as-yet unrecognised race of giants humans.

So let’s leave our giant sceptic’s hat at the door and take a peek at some of the evidence: Speaking of hats we have a variety of winter warmers for you big fellas out there, but I digress.

Giant Skeletons

Screen shot: ‘One of the giant skeletons reportedly unearthed in Romania in the 1970s’.

If there were giants, where are the skeletons? you ask… They were found. All over the world – from the US to Romania and China. There just doesn’t seem to be any discoveries in recent years, and the old bones from past excavations have ‘mysteriously’ disappeared.

There is very credible documented evidence that giant skeletons were found across America in the late 1800s. In New England, skeletons unearthed in ancient burial mounds were measured at between 7ft and 10ft tall. Well-respected newspapers reported these findings at the time, which points to the credibility of their source. In fact, there are several documented findings of giant skeletons from all over America in the past, with most reports coming from the turn of the 19th century. There is also evidence that the bones of giants measuring over 2m in height were found in tombs across Sardinia. This was covered in an episode of TV’s Forbidden History – called ‘The Mystery of the Giants’.

A new
A newspaper clipping from the New York Times

Was this just fanciful thinking by the esteemed scientists at the time? Did they not know how to take simple measurements back then, or were they just ‘having a laugh’?

Here at Big Tee Shirt, we’re pretty hot on getting our big and tall measurements right, so all our big and tall guys look the part.

Giant humanoid bones have also been found in other countries. In Romania, for example, there are numerous reports of ginormous human remains being unearthed as recently as the 1970s, including those reportedly up to a neck-craning 16ft in height. Some of those measured had leg bones which were 6ft in length alone. Our extra long trousers lengths don’t quite stretch to that yet, but we do stock in leg lengths up to 37ins.

Megalithic sites

Even now, thousands of years later, modern thinkers, engineers and scientists cannot come up with a definitive answer as to how ancient man was able to build some of the most jaw-dropping megalithic sites around the world.

Sacsayhuaman: The ancient megalithic site of Sacsayhuaman in Peru.

In Peru, a site called Sacsayhuaman (pronounced ‘sexy h-woman’, wink wink) displays mind-blowing skills and strength. Its huge stones, weighing up to 200 tonnes EACH have been used to build the wall of a fortress. But if their weight alone was not impressive enough, these stones have been cut, shaped and fitted together with such precision to appear almost like a ginormous stone jigsaw. We can imagine for everyone that has stood in front if this vast structure and marvelled at its size and skill, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that it was a race of super-strength giants behind it.

The megalithic sites around the world are numerous, from the more familiar Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge and the Easter Island statues, to the lesser known sites of Puma Punku in Bolivia with its bizarre H shaped carved blocks weighing several tonnes each and with precise inter-locking features. This latter site pre-dates the Incas, with some who have examined the stones, dating them to as far back as 15,000BC due to their astronomical alignments.

Over at the ancient site of Baalbek, in Lebanon, stone blocks used in the construction of the foundations of the Temple of Jupiter weigh up to 800 tonnes each. Baalbek has undergone various points of semi-destruction through history, being the site of various battles, and re-building work by successive civilisations, including the Romans. But there is a very credible argument that the original megalithic parts of the site have its origins many thousands of years before civilisation as we know it began. Is it possible that Baalbek goes back, way back, to a forgotten time in earth’s history –  between our current understanding of recorded history – and the prehistory of the dinosaurs, when giants ruled the earth? These are just some of the many sites around the world that display almost impossible feats of human engineering – which some attribute to the intervention of giants.

A Cover-Up?

How can such newspaper reports exist when the evidence is no longer in plain sight?

A conspiracy theory around the subject of this lost race of giants points to speculation that the bones of these skeletons always mysteriously disappeared once official organisations got involved.

There are some reports suggesting that during the 19th century, the Smithsonian museum in America was very keen to purchase the bones of giants found by civilians-only for them to never see the light again. There is a similar story in Sardinia – with farmers in more modern times uncovering massive bones and teeth and handing them over to the authorities, only to hear nothing more about them.

… In Romania, a site where several giant human bones were found (called the Hyperborean Gallery) was later permanently sealed, as authorities deemed the discovery too explosive and shocking. New Discoveries Re-writing the History of Humankind.

It was just a mere eight years ago that scientists finally acknowledged a different race of humans known as the Denisovans, who existed alongside Neanderthals and modern humans.

This race of human, found in the frozen caves of Siberia, was not thought to be massive in stature – but had huge teeth. All that has been found of the Denisovans is a tiny pea-sized fragment of the finger bone and two teeth. Yet it has been enough to give scientists a shred of DNA to finally say with certainty this was a previously unknown race of human. And just three years ago, scientists announced yet another new human species – homo Naledi – tiny-brained people with ape-like shoulders who lived in South Africa. So finding new species of humanoids is not unheard of – and perhaps it is just a matter of time until someone finds a piece of a big bone or a massive molar that modern science cannot ignore.

Maybe it’s time scientists started thinking about adding a new branch to the human family tree… but what would they name these giants? We’re taking bets they get called ‘Homo Gigantus’

We’ve got the biggest sizes and 11 different colours including the classic white and red with a cool, loose fit, a crew neck collar and it’s made from 100% high-quality cotton so the sensitive man won’t get a RASHFORD.

That pun was bad but trust me… they get a lot worse.

Playing Polo

If you’re a bigger chap that likes to dress a little differently but still wants to support his team then you’re going to love the D555 England polo shirt in sizes 3XL to 5XL.

Available in very apt red, white and blue, these England polos look incredibly smart meaning you can support your team while you go out for a posh meal or meet the POPE. You’ll even look smart sat on your Jack JONES in this quality polo shirt.

We stock this in sizes 2XL up to 7XL and you’ll TRIPPIER out when you see the quality of the retro-worn effect print. Available in a very patriotic range of colours: Red, White and Blue, these t-shirts are perfect for reflecting on how England ROSE to the top of the CaHILL and went on to bring the world cup home!

 

Three Lions On His Shorts!

Because there’s not just the football to celebrate but also the elusive English summer, we are stocking some rather special England shorts featuring the 3 lions on them.

These have proven very popular and we’ve VARDY got any sizes left! We’re down to 2XL, 3XL and 8XL so if you’re a late scorer, you may be in for a loss. However, if you are a big man that’s a runner or a WALKER then you’ll appreciate the drawstring waist, the two slip-pockets at the sides and the acrylic/cotton/polyester mix that gives the balls enough room for a kick about.

*We also provide English/Welsh/Scottish variations of the shorts because we love our neighbours even if they support our opposition.

Honourable Mentions

You’ve probably noticed that we’ve tried to get the England players names into this blog but we had to keep a few on the bench as they were just too hard to fit into a pun.

So apologies to our heroes Maguire, Alli, Lingard and Henderson… And an extra special mention to the manager Gareth Southgate. A true gent and arguably, already one of the greatest managers that we’ve ever seen.

We’ll be rocking our England clobber for the rest of the tournament and no doubt for a very, very long time afterwards. All that remains to be said is… Again…

IT’S COMING HOME!

Big Changes & Bigger Sizes For Big Tee Shirt

If you’re a regular visitor to the Big Tee Shirt website then you will probably have noticed that we’ve been undergoing some changes recently which mean our huge range of stock in huge sizes is even easier to navigate.

We don’t want people burning off precious calories with endless scrolling so we’ve taken every clothing category and broken them down into nice, logical subcategories… Meaning you will find what you’re after even quicker! Our old category system worked in such a way that if you wanted to look at our men’s t-shirts then you had to scroll through all the designs and all the ranges to find the tees you liked. Now, you can just go straight for the subcategory and you’re into the styles or themes that you love.

We do spoil you, we really do!

Up To 10XL T-Shirts

Yes, we cater for sizes L right up to a generous 10XL. But now we have taken our stock and created brand new categories to help you find what you want: easily.

So, if you go to our men’s big and tall t-shirts page, you will find the following categories:

• All T-Shirts
• Sporty Tees
• Smiley T-Shirts
• Extra-Long Plain T-Shirts
• Skull T-Shirts
• Truck And Car T-Shirts
• Halloween T-Shirts
• Long Sleeve T-Shirts
• Twin Pack T-Shirts
• Political T-Shirts
• Philosophical T-Shirts
• Plain T-Shirts
• Sleeveless T-Shirts
• Northern Soul T-Shirts
• Ska T-Shirts
• Musical Icons T-Shirts
• Americana T-Shirts
• Biker T-Shirts
• Dark Theme T-Shirts

And we are proud to now officially stock
• 9XL T-Shirts
• 10XL T-Shirts

We’ve been getting requests for a long time to add those bigger sizes and stock more themes… We listen to our customers, take notes and we’re proud to unveil the new ranges. We’ll be topping up the selections with lots of new stock and maybe a few new themes in the near future!

It’s Not Just T-Shirts

With a name like “Big Tee Shirt”, you would expect us to specialise in larger t-shirts and we certainly do (did I mention that we have a whole host of new categories in the funny t-shirts range?) but we provide all kinds of other clothing for the bigger guys.

Whilst we were updating the site and uploading new stock we have gone over every Style category and broken them down to make shopping that little bit easier… Because we hate shopping too!

We’ve split the big men’s jeans (not literally) into four categories, the shirts into seven categories, the nightwear into 6 categories… And that’s just a few of the styles. In fact, every single item of clothing has been redefined in glorious subcategories and you can find every style category for our big men’s clothes here!

Is THIS Big Enough For You?

You may have also noticed that we’re stocking sizes over and above the 8XL we used to stock… We have a range of 9XL and 10XL items in stock and we are able to provide bigger sizes up to 16XL upon request.

We’ve had lots of requests for specialist sizes that simply cannot be found anywhere else so we can provide various t-shirts and jogging bottoms that are made-to-order for our giant clients! These will obviously take a little longer as we have our suppliers craft them to your sizes and they are not off-the-shelf.

If you’d like something in sizes over 10XL we’ll always try to help. You can get in touch with the Big Tee Shirt team here.

Big Underwear Blog: Featuring Pants Puns & Jokes Below The Belt

Let’s keep this brief: The Big Tee team has been a bit quiet on the blog for a while, haven’t we? Sorry, we’ve been pants keeping you updated but we’ve been very busy behind the scenes and we will reveal more on that in a future blog.

For now, we are going to hang out with you and talk about our 2XL to 8XL underwear for men but because we are Big Tee Shirt, we’ll throw in a few underwear puns and comments and we’ll try and keep them clean (the puns not the pants)  to make things vaguely entertaining. OK… Let’s crack on with a bad joke.

What type of underwear is the best at self-defence?
– Boxers!

We’re Trying To Get  A Rise…

You may not be aware that we stock specialist underwear for the bigger chaps. We do extra-long, high rise boxer shorts that are especially good for customers’ medical conditions such as oedema, bariatric complications and hernias.

… Obviously, that’s no laughing matter but we’ll use our puns on the fly when we get the chance.

So, the higher rise underwear features extra length in the front and back to comfortably fit around your body and provide support. Crafted from a 95% cotton and 5% elastane mix, to allow stretch without irritation.

We take medical conditions very seriously… Certainly more seriously than we take our blogs. And on that note…

What’s a potato’s favourite underwear?
– Wedgies!

Heavy Weight Boxers

Like us, you may be no featherweight champion and may require big men’s boxer shorts. Don’t worry, we’ve covered our asses and have plenty in stock. Men’s designer brands like Kam, Espionage and Cotton Valley are available but we also provide our own with boxers from the Big Tee Shirt brand.

You might like to keep things loose when you hang out with your friends and our boxers are the perfect: Available in sizes 2XL to 8XL, they feature (depending on the brand) either cotton and lycra or cotton and elastane mix to maximise comfort for the maximised man. If you like twins then you won’t be disappointed with our twin packs or if you prefer multiples then the triple packs might be right up your alley.

Either way, we have a big selection of big boxer shorts in a range of colours and styles. Our shelves are absolutely bunged up full of them.

Under Where?

It’s easy to locate the underwear on the Big Tee Shirt website, you just need to select “Clothing” from the menu bar, then “Men’s Underwear” from the drop-down menu.

A Brief History Of Time…

You may want a bit more support from your pants and we can ensure your tackle is clean and tidy (football pun) with our big men’s briefs and plus-sized y-fronts. 

In both cases, you know the drill, there’s a selection of colours and styles in sizes 2XL to 8XL for the bigger man. Multi-packs are also available if you want to save a few quid!

We are starting to run out of puns now and we don’t want to lose our streak but the best underwear puns are the dirty ones.

Do stock camo underwear?
– Yes but you may not be able to see it. They are ideal if you want to go commando.

Recommended Storage Instructions:

We have been asked in the past about the correct way of storing underwear.
– In your drawers

Jokes & Puns Too Awful To Make it to this blog:

Here are a few jokes that were just too awful to include on the blog… But we didn’t want to waste them so we’ll hang them out to dry here:

Scrapped Title: Cheap underwear for tight a***s.

Tag Line: Bring back hanging… Abolish underpants.

What kind of pants do reporters wear?
News briefs

*Lisps* Lets thing a thong *Groan*

Anyone who says they can find better underwear for big men is full of s***.

…On that note, we better toddle off but if you can think of any more pants puns then please do let us know and make us wet ourselves with laughter.

Extra Long T-Shirts For Big Men

You may be wondering how we came up with the name “Big Tee Shirt” and we’re going to give you one guess.

It’s fairly obvious, isn’t it?

But “big” means different things to different people. We provide up to size 10XL t-shirts which are ideal if you are big in the middle but they may not be ideal if you are a really tall bloke.

That’s why we have a “Tall Store” range that may be perfect for you!

Being tall is a blessing and a curse.

Tall blokes are always the centre of attention; you can’t really miss us in a crowd. We can always reach the top shelves. We know what the weather is like before shorter folk do(Why do people say that?). On the downside, living in a world that is designed for smaller people can be a bit of an issue, we may have mentioned this before in this blog!

The biggest single problem with being a monster among men is finding clothes that actually fit. Just because a t-shirt, shirt, jacket or any item of clothing is an extra large size does not mean it will fit us, giants.

You will find our range of extra-length, big and tall clothing here.

We have solved the problem by developing our own range of “Big Tee Shirt Brand” or “BTS” gear that gives us that extra length in the body or leg to make sure you’re covered!

Up To 41” Length Body Tees

You read that right! Our t-shirts are up to 41” in length, much longer than the standard. Every tall bloke knows the annoyance of wearing a t-shirt that which is too short and shows off out “assets”.

41 inches or 104 cm is MUCH LONGER than you will be used to. As mentioned above, there is big and then there is big. Just because you are tall does not mean you are big all over but that’s the reason we stock sizes Small up to 10XL! So you could be slight-built but very tall and we have you covered and looking good!

We have a broad selection of styles and colours. Everything from regular tees, printed tees, and polo necks to sleeveless and vests… So you can get your guns out!

We’ve got plenty more stock coming in over the next few months too, so keep an eye out for new clobber.

Up To 38” Leg?

It’s not just extra long t-shirts we do. Why have a long body if your trousers look like half-masts? We’ve got you covered: As always!

We stock jogging bottoms with up to 38” leg lengths. These are a blend of cotton, polyester and acrylic to ensure that there is plenty of give and room so you’re free to move about and comfortable enough to work, rest and play!

They’re not just long, either. We stock sizes Large to 8XL so even the very biggest men will be catered for. The elasticated waist has a drawstring so you can adjust it to fit comfortably and stay aloft, even if you’re working out or simply getting out of the chair too quickly!

The Biggest. The Best. Here’s The Rest:

Man cannot live in t-shirts and jogging bottoms alone: We know that. That’s why we have a multitude of other options to keep you warm and comfortable.

There’s v-neck sweatshirts, pullover hoodies, zip-up hoodies, waterproof jackets and parka coats. We have these is various styles and colours, with sizes varying depending on the range from Small (Yes, we do small!) to 8XL. We don’t want the tall, thin guys to feel left out… We’ve got you blokes covered too!

So there really is a huge range to choose from. Big and tall guys no longer have an excuse that they cannot buy clothes that fit them… They just have to find us!

Wash With Care

Just a heads-up: Always follow the instructions on the label!

Yes, this seems obvious but even the longest t-shirts can shrink if exposed to heat in a tumble dryer for example! 

Always be wary before washing and drying as you do not want your cotton/polyester/acrylic mix going small and becoming an average t-shirt.

Follow the washing instructions on the label and you should find the items will last for years to come without any issues.

Unsure About Your Size?

We’ll give you one last helping hand:

Christmas Clothing For Big Men… & Puns

 

Yes, it is only November and we know blokes like to leave the shopping to the very last minute but our Christmas clobber will sell out before too long and we don’t want you missing out!

To keep you interested in this blog, we’ve added a number of terrible puns and there will be no prizes whatsoever for anyone who can spot them all… Because our low prices are pthe gift that keeps on giving. Although we may be doing some competitions soon if you’d like that? Let us know!

20% Off All Our Clothes in The Christmas Sale

If you’re reading this in December 2017, stop what you’re doing and head straight over to our website! We’ve currently got a HUGE Christmas sale on men’s clothes in sizes up to 10XL.

‘Twas the sale before Christmas! Big sizes at small prices.

2XL to 8XL Christmas Clothing

Let’s talk about sizes: It’s well known that Christmas is a time for excess. If you are a big bloke already, then the chances are, you’re not going to be any smaller by the New Year. So you are going to need some big Christmas clothing with a bit of give and we have some absolute crackers!

We stock Christmas Clothing in sizes 2XL to 8XL: Proper men’s sizes! If you want a couple of extra minces pies, a beer or eight or even the entire pudding, we have you covered. Literally. We have super Christmas clothing is super sizes. So just relax until you make some New Year’s resolutions and think about buying a size up from your usual so you don’t look a complete turkey!

Christmas Jumpers:

It appears that Christmas jumpers sprout up everywhere these days, for the home, the office or for a night out. They seem to get brighter and wackier every year and we try to keep up demand for the Christmas stock.

We’ve got 2XL to 5XL Christmas jumpers on the Christmas Clobber page, in a selection of designs, from Snowmen images to Rudolph, Santa and more. All with a cheeky, comedy twist to get laughs from friends and loved ones. These make the ideal present and prices start are under £13! So you can wrap up warm, get a laugh and look great at less than the price of a full round at the bar.

Crimbo Shirts and T-Shirts

We’re famed for our big t-shirts and super-sized shirts, so where would we be at Christmas without a nice selection of comedy tees and tasteful (if you like that sort of thing) shirts?

In all cases, we have a cheeky comedy twist. With specially printed shirts, featuring Christmas trees, Santa Claus or snowmen and t-shirts that range from cheeky to quite rude! There are a few good (bad/awful) puns on them as well as some slightly risque jokes and images if you have the (snow) balls to wear them.

They are not for prudes and are sure to get a laugh provided the man wearing them is not a snowflake!

… That pun was awful. Sorry.

 

Socks and Pants!

Lets (Santa) pause for a moment and think about the most popular of Christmas gifts: Socks and underwear. It may always have been a bit of a disappointment to receive these when you were younger but as you get older and bigger, you really appreciate the importance of a good, comfortable set of underwear.

Every man needs a sturdy set of underwear and our Espionage twin pack of Boxers in sizes 2XL to 7XL. Without wanting to sound rude(oplh), they will keep your nutcrackers warm.

Don’t forget about socks either. We’ve got Christmas twin packs with a festive theme for under £8! The perfect gift that will bring a bit of joy no matter what the time of year. You just cannot beat a nice pair of socks… So two pairs would be even better.

 

But Wait, There’s Myrhh!

We’ve saved the best for last!

One of our most popular jumpers is actually part of a set. This jumper and Christmas hat combo will make you look and feel like Saint Nick himself. It’s bright, bold, fun and under £20! What a deal!

We’ve even got some Christmas-themed baggy trouser bottoms that are great for lounging around the house or tearing open pressies in. Supremely comfortable and with enough give to make sure your carol singers don’t burst out at the Christmas dinner table.

Finally, for the ‘Claustrophoic” amongst you, there are all our other clothes. You don’t have to love Christmas to enjoy our XL to 10XL clothing but Yule not want to miss out!

Bigger Sizes. Cheaper Prices.

We’ve been quiet for a while, haven’t we? Sorry about that… We’ve got some very exciting things going on behind the scenes and we’ll be making a few big announcements soon™.

Rest assured though, we’ve been very, very busy behind the scenes and you can expect some new stock in our bigger men’s sizes at unbeatable online prices. But in addition, we’re working on the website to make it an even better experience… Because big men don’t need any extra hassle when shopping, do we?

We’re Expanding… And Not Just Our Waistlines!

With Autumn upon us, that means it’s time to start wrapping up and pack away the shorts for a few months. To celebrate the cold weather (meh) we’ve stocked some new colours in our extra long t-shirts for the really tall, really big guys. They’re ideal nightshirts for that extra layer to keep the cold out or simply great for everyday wear as they are extremely comfortable.

In fact, we’ve got heaps of new clobber to keep you warm whilst looking good. You can find all the latest additions and new items here. There’s coats, jackets, comedy t-shirts, winter shirts, hoodies… You name it. We’ll keep the gear coming and start even though it’s only September, we’re already getting requests for our Christmas clothing. We’ll add more and keep you updated on Facebook or the newsletter. Links to that will be at the end of this blog.

Back To The Future

We’ve been providing big men’s clothing for the best part of twenty years and as our waistbands have grown, so too has the market. We’ve seen similar businesses come and go but we’ve always had one simple philosophy: Provide the service and clothing that we’d like for ourselves: The biggest men’s clothes, the best brands and the cheapest prices.

We all love a bargain but trying to find affordable clothes when you’re 3XL or over can be extremely difficult. That’s why we stock up to 10XL+ and if we can’t find a brand that does exactly what we want then we make it ourselves! We know those big men don’t stop at just size 5XL.

Feel free to let us know if there are any ranges you’d like to see more of. Use the contact page on our website or contact us on the Facebook page… We’ll welcome a bit of feedback. Any kind of “feed” is good in our book.

Follow Us!

Finally, we’ll be making some BIG announcements in the coming weeks so make sure you don’t miss out! Yes… Super-sized announcements with a few tweaks and changes that mean you’ll be getting some very special deals that you won’t find anywhere else.

To stay ahead of the pack, why not pop us a like on Facebook or alternatively you can subscribe to our newsletter. Or you could do both. 

We’ve got exciting times ahead and we want you guys to be part of it.

Where To Buy Shorts For Big Men:

 

Here at Big Tee Shirt, we try to vary our blog posts so that they are entertaining and interesting but sometimes we just have to shout about the big mens clothes we’ve got. In this blog we are going to toot our horn and tell you about our shorts for big men … Seeing as we’ve just got a load more stock!

With summer on the way, maybe a holiday or two and hopefully some better weather, it’s time to pack the winter clothes away and fill your drawers with shorts. Perfect for lounging around the home, working out in the garden or chilling by the pool.

As you’d expect, we stock the biggest sizes (Up to 8XL) for men at the lowest online prices. Take a short look at the selection:

 

Plain Shorts

You may be the sort of bloke who does not like to make a big fuss. A bloke who wants to keep things simple. The kind of bloke who cuts his sandwiches straight down the middle instead of diagonally or into little triangles.

Then you are probably the sort of bloke who would like our plain shorts.

Whilst we have shorts that are plain and uncomplicated to look at, they are perfectly made with some special features for the bigger man. For starters, they come in sizes 2XL to 8XL: up to a 62” waist… That waists are elasticated and will have either a belt loop or a drawstring to keep the shorts elevated. We have a selection of colours and styles so to be honest, even our plain shorts are not very plain.

 

Camo & Floral Shorts

If you want to blend in with the background or seek disguise in field full of flowers then both of these styles will (if we are being honest) not work for you at all.

But why should you blend in? You can prepare yourself for the extreme urban environment with camo shorts or sit in a tropical paradise by the pool in some floral shorts.

You wear them where and how you like.

But as always, we provide elasticated waists, bigger sizes up to 62” waists (or 8XL) and extra loose fit for extra comfort in our camo and floral shorts. So don’t be a wilting violet or fade away, grab a pair of these shorts today.

Yep. That rhymed.

Cargo Style Shorts

Cargo shorts are ideal the practical man or the man who carries everything! To be fair, most guys have at least a phone, a wallet and some loose change but all those things have to go somewhere! Cargos are the ideal shorts to store all that stuff. With the extra space due to the pockets at the sides you can carry the the extra bits and bobs you need.

Our cargo shorts are as you’d expect, in bigger sizes 42” to 60” waist and we have a massive selection of styles, from jean cargo shorts to brushed cotton. Most importantly, we have a large selection of them with elasticated waists to keep them upright when you are carry the world in your pockets!

 

Denim Shorts

Jean Shorts or ‘Jorts’ as as popular now as they were back in the 90’s, just so long as you remember the simple rule: avoid double denim.

Unless you want to look like Jean-Claude Van Damme in his going gear then these denim shorts are not to be combined with any other denim.

Is that clear? Avoid double-denim.

OK? Cool.

… Because cool is what you’ll look and feel in our awesome denim shorts. We have a special denim-mix (Look on the website for the secret combination) that means our denim stretches to allow more give and more comfort to the bigger guy. Depending on the shorts you choose, you can have cargo style or regular jean style but with zip fly and a button or draw string.

As always, we stock 2XL to 8XL or up to 62” waist so these shorts are perfect for a big and tall man. Assuming he’s wearing no other denim.

 

Longer Length Shorts

Speaking of the big and tall man, we have longer length shorts for the chap with legs that cross county lines when he sits down.

These come in the shape of ¾ lengths shorts or simply the longer-legged range. You can see them on the website. These are in every kind of style you can imagine: Sports shorts, cargo shorts, plain shorts, draw string etc. We stock them up to 62” waist so it’s not just about the length.

We have flex-waist fit too because we know that it’s not just the tall guy that wants to have the extra length, if you are a big fella, you may want to keep your legs covered or perhaps you simply don’t like to show off your knees.

Our prices start from under twenty quid so you can cover your legs (to below the knees) for less than the price of a round at the bar.

 

Swimming Shorts

Make a big splash.

… That’s what I do in my 6XL swimming shorts: when I break the rules and dive bomb into the pool. Because I’m a maverick.

You can be a maverick too, with our swimming trunks in sizes 2XL to 8XL and you’ll be relieved to hear there is not a budgie smuggler (That’s Australian slang for super-tight Speedo-style swimming keks) in sight.

Along with bigger sized waists, we have a range of designs from fairly plain colours to bright, tropical and even some tartan. You won’t be afraid to dip your toe in the water with these awesome trunks so stock up now and fill your *trunk!

Premature Elections and Big Tee Shirts

 

You may remember that a few weeks ago we wrote a Big Tee Shirt Brexit blog to reassure our customers that the Brexit would not affect the prices or service that we provide.

Well, with the news that we’re heading into more uncertainty with an election that’s been brought forward, we thought it best to address some of this issues this can raise.

Questions About Big Men’s Election Problems

We’ve had quite literally a couple of questions that relate to our mens plus size clothing and the election  so it’s important that we make our policies clear and outline our sales manifesto:

  • We’ll always provide big clothes at small prices
  • We promise to stock more men’s clothing in sizes 2XL to 8XL
  • We promise to keep more elasticated waistbands in stock
  • The UK comes first: With next day dispatch on orders before 2PM
  • We will provide payment relief in the form of free deliveries on orders over £90
  • We will not be beaten on customer satisfaction
  • We will ensure we have big and tall men covered

Promising all these things is all well and good but where would we be without giving you some details about how we achieve the magnificent elections that we do…

Hung Parliament

You can’t run the risk of another hung parliament like we’ve seen in the past, just like you can’t risk the discomfort of wearing the wrong underwear.

YES! We’re linking ‘hung parliament’ with men’s plus sizes underwear. We’ll avoid jokes about politicians having “balls” or making reference to them being a load of ****s. That sort of humour is below the belt, just like a good set underwear.

Whilst you’re here, you may as well take a look at our men’s underwear in sizes 2XL to 8XL. You won’t be disappointed and they will keep your politics in order.

Falling Shorts

We can agree that politicians say all sorts of things on the run up to election time but usually end up falling short of the mark.

If there’s one thing we can’t stand, it’s falling shorts. That’s why we always make sure we keep a good range of men’s shorts in waist sizes 42” to 60”.

You can take your pick from a range of candidates such as cargo, smart, ¾ length, jean, swimming and casual, many with elasticated waist and some with draw-strings. You won’t be disappointed in whatever selection you make. They should probably last a few terms in offic as well.

Full of Shirts

We are full of shirts at the moment as we’ve had some new stock come in, ranging from the wacky to quite conservative. I don’t want to labour the point but you really should check out our 2XL to 8XL Mens Shirts.

We’ve got more options headed in over the coming weeks and we should probably mention that prices start from under a tenner. We’ve got you covered here at Big Tee Shirt and we put your interests first. We have big clothes at small prices, all year round.

Pop an X in the box and vote for us. Or pop up to 8X’s for the X-tra Large sizes we supply.
