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.

We’ll add more and keep you updated on our Facebook page and our newsletter. Links to those 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.

 

It’s Getting Hot In Here, So Buy Some New Spring Clothes…

 

Did we just use a song title parody as a blog title? You bet we did.

But we’re in a very good mood and very keen to put a spring in your step now that the weather should be on the turn, the days are getting longer and bank holidays are just around the corner!

It’s time to get yourself outdoors, do a bit of pottering about in the garden… or sitting in the beer garden down the pub and it’s vitally important that you wear the correct attire to do so. Luckily we stock all that good stuff and we have lots of new lines coming through this spring, so why not take a look?

We Love *Short Shorts. (*But Longer Ones Are Better)

You may be a veritable action man or simply a bloke that enjoys a bit of comfort but either way, we can both agree that shorts are ruddy perfect every-day wear. When the weather is hot we live in shorts and to be honest, when it’s only-just warm enough, we live in them anyway.

But as you’d expect, we stock rather special shorts for larger men in waist sizes 44” up to 60” or if you want an elasticated waist we have sizes 2XL to 8XL. Definitely suitable and comfortable for the bigger gent.

  • Longer length legs
  • Cargo Shorts
  • Surfer style shorts
  • Walking Shorts
  • Rugby Shorts
  • Denim Shorts (Jorts or Jean Shorts)
  • Stretch Denim Shorts
  • Floral shorts
  • Plain Shorts
  • Camo Shorts
  • Flexi Waist Shorts
  • Chino Style Shorts
  • Baggy Cargo Shorts
  • Fleece Style Shorts
  • ¾ Length Shorts

 

That’s just what made the short-list *groan*. We literally have shorts for everything. There’s a big selection of big shorts in a variety of colours and styles.

… In short, we have lots of shorts for big blokes.

Let Me See That Thong Tha-Tha-Thong Thong Thong…

Only joking! Even we have a limit.

We may not (thankfully) do thongs but we do a great selection of underwear for big guys. So you can have a bit of support behind the scenes. Prices start at a small package of £6.99 which buys a decent set of pants with enough fabric to keep your modesty under wraps.

Just to clarify: We do not do plus-size thongs for men.

Oh my God That’s Some Funky (T-)Shi(r)t(s)

After spending fifteen minutes trying to think of a song with t-shirt lyrics, I gave up. This title is modified lyrics from the Prodigy. If you can think of relevant t-shirt lyrics, drop a comment and let us know. I can update this bit. 🙂

So… T-shirts! The perfect accompaniment for shorts. Well, it goes without saying that a company with a name like ‘Big Tee Shirt’ sells a lot of actual big t-shirts for larger guys. In fact, we specialise in them.

We stock sizes 2XL to 8XL in a fine selection of styles and colours. Shall we list the styles to make the blog a bit longer? Yes. Yes we should:

  • Plain T Shirts
  • Printed T Shirts
  • Tie Dye T Shirts
  • Extra Long T Shirts
  • Funny T Shirts
  • Branded T Shirts
  • Unbranded T Shirts
  • Biker T Shirts
  • Polo Shirts
  • Political T Shirts
  • Ska T Shirts
  • Sleeveless T Shirts
  • Music T Shirts
  • Northern Souls T Shirts
  • … and Vests

 

Actually we do so many types of extra-sized t shirts that we can’t list them all. There’s at least 7 types of humour in the “Funny T-Shirt” section alone.

The point is, we do big t-shirts to suit every kind of man. Apart from the kind of man who has no sense of style. We apologise… But we can’t help them. Stylish men only.

Is that ‘stylist’?

Probably.

No Jacket Required

With it being BRITISH spring time we realise it may be a tad optimistic when we talk about shorts and t-shirts. Let’s be realistic and talk about waterproof jackets. In fact we do some amazing coats, jackets and waterproofs for the bigger man so why not make a bit of a list?

Are you ready? Go…

  • Denim Hooded jackets
  • Quilted jackets
  • Waterproof coats
  • Windproof coats
  • Fleece jackets
  • Fleece sleeveless
  • Gillets
  • Parka jackets
  • Lined Denim
  • Body Warmers
  • Smart Overcoats
  • Utility Jackets
  • Lightweight Jackets (That can’t hold their drink)
  • Summer Jackets
  • Winter Coats
  • Barber Jackets
  • Outdoors Coats
  • Wool Blend Jackets
  • Camo Jackets
  • Harrington Style Jackets
  • Bomber Jackets
  • Oxford Style Jackets
  • Leather Jackets
  • Waist Coats
  • *Straitjackets

*We lied about the straitjackets

But all other jackets are available in a range of colours and style… and most importantly, in proper man’s sizes of 2XL to 8XL.

Float Like A Butterfly, Spring Like Big Tee

Yes, that made little sense and it’s not a song but we had to end this blog with something, didn’t we?

We’re updating the website almost daily with new stock so please do keep coming back and checking what’s available. We’ll be re-stocking some of the sizes that were not available before and expanding on our ranges. Feel free to message us with any questions, we’ll be glad to help!

 

 

The Brexit Blog: How It Affects Big Tee Shirt

We’ve had a good few customers get in touch and ask how Brexit will affect Big Tee Shirt. Some of the questions we’ve been asked are:

  • Will it mean our prices will go up?
  • Will we stock different items?
  • Will we still stock the same big brands?
  • Will we stock anything at all?
  • Will our sizes change?
  • Will we have some Brexit parody t-shirts?
  • Will we move to Spain?
  • Will we ship to the moon?
  • Will we ever stock thongs?
  • How do we maintain such low prices?

 

The answers in all cases are.. Nothing changes.

We’ll still stock the same great clothing for big and tall men at very reasonable prices. We won’t be moving to Spain. We don’t ship items via rocket ship (they get lost and it’s too expensive), we’ve no idea how we keep our prices so low and we’ll never stock thongs.

We hope that clears up your concerns.

Don’t worry, we’re not going to leave you, in fact we fully intend to remain awesome and if possible, become even more awesome. Why not have a look at our range of mens jeans in waist sizes 40” up to 70” whilst you here but not before we leave you with a little joke:

Q: What happens when a large Yorkshireman sits on a plastic garden chair?

A: … He Brexit.

… I’ll get my coat

Egg-citing Easter Clothing For Big Dudes

 

Here at Big Tee Shirt we celebrate Easter in a big way. Not necessarily because we are religious – but because we are fanatical about good food and good times with loved ones. And such occasions are the perfect ‘egg-cuse’ to update your wardrobe…  Sunday marks the beginning of Spring and that means Easter is on the way so you need to be prepared.

Eggs-tra Stretchy Jeans


It is also a time when we can stuff our face… guilt free.

That’s right, the only thing I’m giving up for Lent this year is non elasticated trousers. I want to make room for the abundance of chocolate eggs and roast dinners that come my way. Not to mention the fish n chip supper on Good Friday. And the beers on Saturday…

Thankfully at Big Tee Shirt we stock a variety of that old favourite jeans with stretchy waists that avoid having to undo buttons at the dinner table. After all, the last thing you want after enjoying your mother-in-law’s roast is to stand up only for your slacks to hit the floor. No-one needs to see your Kinder surprise. Not even her.

‘Cracking’ outdoor and active wear

I get the meat sweats after I’ve had a good roast – so you may feel the need to get some fresh air after that hefty dinner. Hop on over to our fantastic outdoor clothing ranges and see what tickles your fancy.

Whether it’s an Easter egg hunt with the kids, paint-balling with the lads or a merry jaunt across the countryside with the missus – don’t let the weekend become a damp squib by getting caught out in the April showers.

We stock a variety of plus size men’s waterproof and windproof jackets – not to mention thermals. From our soft shell jackets and fleeces for brighter days – to our waterproof jackets and parkas.

And if you’re planning on doing something more active (are you mad?) – check out our utility gillets and waterproof hiking and walking boots.

Getting out in the fresh air has the benefit of burning off the Easter grub – so you have room to eat more when you get back!  The only ‘eggs-ercise’ I plan on doing this Easter is repeatedly lifting chocolate to my mouth.

Hot Dressed Buns

Easter means a bonus Bank Holiday and more opportunities to enjoy a night down the pub. Single lads can impress ‘chicks’ at the bar with our smart-casual wear. We’ve got a cracking range of extra large dapper shirts,  along with stretchy smart trousers and chinos if you want to accentuate your buns for the ladies.

Or if you’re up for a laugh, and maybe ruffling a few feathers, you could wear one of our (mildly offensive) funny slogan tee-shirts. From the safe and topical “Every time I hear the word exercise I wash my mouth out with chocolate” – to the bold “YES – I ATE ALL THE F*%KING PIES”

Hop back on to our site

Even with the big brands we stock, it really is no ‘yoke’ when we say we won’t be ‘beaten’ on price. And if you make your Easter plans a bit late this year you needn’t ‘scramble’ around for something to wear as we offer same day despatch if ordered by 2pm.
SO with such ‘egg-cellent’ customer service – you won’t end up with egg on your face this Easter.

 

10 Reasons Why Big Men Are Sexy

 

I’m going to address the elephant in the room and make this statement: big men are sexy.

No jokes about me being the elephant in the room (I’m way ahead of you) and obviously as a bigger man I am biased about why we are more appealing. You don’t even have to believe me at this point but give me two minutes of your time to read the rest of this blog and if I have not convinced you (not that you probably need convincing) then feel free to leave me a comment or share this blog to spread the word.

It’s possible that you already have the opinion that bigger gents are sexy specimens, but you can’t put your finger on why – so let me highlight a few of our plus (sized) points about what makes us stand out.

Sense of Humour

Bigger guys are more fun. Because most big men have always been bigger and always will be, we’ve learned to not take ourselves too seriously. We can laugh at ourselves and take a joke better than most. We’re large people trapped in a world created for smaller people.

We’ve adapted to be the funny ones who are more comfortable in our own skin even if we’re not comfortable in your tiny car. We’ll have plenty of anecdotes that come with being a big bloke and we’re probably more likely to laugh at ourselves before laughing at anyone else. You can even find some of us in humorous big t-shirts – which we sell by the way.

But more importantly, we’ll make you laugh. Lot’s of comedians are built bigger and it’s no coincidence. If you can laugh at your own expense then you can always make people laugh with you.

We’re Better Dressed

Bear with me here; I’m not talking about when we are lounging around the house in our PJ’s or joggy bottoms, I’m talking about when we go out.
Because it’s harder to find decent clothes to fit a bigger man, we have to be a bit more selective about what we wear. Hence why people come back to Big Tee Shirt, we have top brands in big sizes at very reasonable prices.
It makes sense that if it’s harder to find clothes that fit you then you put that extra big of effort into the selection process. That and you probably buy from us so you will look awesome.

We’re More Manly

We just are.

I’m not saying we laugh at hipsters in skinny jeans but… Yeah, ok we might laugh at them. They look ridiculous, don’t they? Bless ‘em.

Put it this way, when was the last time you heard someone say: “Phwoar, look at that bloke in his pointy shoes and skinny jeans, with his little curled up moustache. He is sexy! He’s a REAL man!” – They’ll never say that. Because the big bloke next to them will be getting all the attention. Obviously.

We’re built to be protective and this makes us desirable in a sexy kind of way. Look at celebrity bodyguards. You never see a slightly-built bloke taking on that hefty role do you? No, they are man-mountains of ginormous statue and make no mistake.

The point is there to be made, we don’t like to stereotype but bigger men are more manly. I’ve just dug myself a hole for the next point.

We’re Less Judgemental

Want a second portion? Go ahead!

Fancy a dessert? Help yourself!

If you want to diet, you go right ahead but know that big men don’t judge. We love you for who you are because you love us for who we are. Isn’t life better when you can just be yourself and be happy? Unless you’re a hipster; We may judge your choice of jeggings if we’re being honest.

But as a partner, we are less judgemental. Just to be clear. 

I probably should not have made this point right after the hipster comment.

We’re Not Obsessed with Ourselves

Though this blog may appear to contradict that, I have to write about something and it is a blog for men’s extra large clothing.

What I mean is, bigger men are less prone to excess preening and you know only a select number of us will spend any real time at the gym. Less time at the gym and less time spent on beauty therapy probably means more time with the other half. So the lack of self obsession is beneficial – and sexy.  Probably.

That said, if you are looking for gym clothes for big men, we do those too. We know it’s hard to find clothes that fit when you get fit.

Lust For Life

Larger fellas enjoy life more: We laugh more, we eat what we like most of the time, we’re probably limited in terms of where we can go or how we can get there so we make sure we enjoy the things we do when we do them. We probably avoid public transport wherever possible though.

We won’t scrimp on the extra plate at the buffet and we won’t lecture you on how you should live your life. Being more comfortable with ourselves means you can be more comfortable with us. Enjoy your life, all those diets won’t be remembered when you’re grey and old!

There’s More of Us to Love

Yes, that old cliche! We’re not being sizeist here because if you’ll remember, we’re not judgemental. We’re good like that.

I’m not saying that there is a size-to-lovability ratio, but we’re bigger and what may seem imposing when you first meet us soon shows we are mostly big softies who wouldn’t be the way we were if we were made in a standard size. You couldn’t fit the people we are in a smaller frame, it’s just scientific fact!

We’re More Content

There’s a lot to be said for being content. In fact the Danish have made it into an artform and seem to keep writing books about it. They call it Hygge – but to a bigger man it’s just something that comes naturally.

Big guys have learned to live in a small world and we are less likely to pressure ourselves to conform to social ideals that the media push upon everyone. When you’re around content people you feel more content yourself and enjoy life more.

We’re Great in Bed.

It’s statistically proven… Probably.

We sleep better and do other things better too. We have more comfortable night wear like (cheap plug) extra long night shirts. We probably have bigger beds as we don’t fit into a standard double all that well – but this is a great way to lead onto the last point…

We’re a Better Quality Cuddle

We’re just big teddy bears really, aren’t we? I’m told there is something to be said for a hug from a bigger guy. We’ll put you at ease and make you feel secure. Yes it sounds soppy but that’s fine. 

We may be big and tall, long and thin or short and round but big blokes come in all kinds of forms and I promise we make the best cuddlers. I’ve had the feedback. We may be choosy about who we cuddle though so it’s probably best not to hug the first big bloke you see.

… That’s just weird. Probably illegal too. You should ask first really.

 

 

Dapper Clothes for Big Blokes

 

Here at Big Tee Shirt, we talk a lot about comfort and low prices for bigger men. But what about the times that you need to look smart but you simply can’t find clothes that fit? Maybe you need formal clothes in big sizes but they simply don’t exist on the high street… Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

If you’re in a rush for a social event, it’s fine. If you get the order to us before 2pm, we can have it with you for the next day!

Tweed Jackets for Large Gents

You may be quite happy with a full suit for certain occasions and events but you can’t beat a tweed jacket to elevate your appearance to that of a dapper God among men!

Tweed is awesome because it will look great with a shirt, some decent shoes and a pair of jeans or chinos (we do those too!) so you can look smart but not over-dressed for anywhere you wish to go. Perfect for days out, nights out, business wear or taking the other half for some posh nosh.

We do these Harris Tweeds in a selection of colours too: charcoal, brown, beige, navy or olive so you can have a jacket for every occasion. They are great for mixing and matching with your shirt or outfit and we have the option of original Harris Tweed (Under £200) or Harris ‘style’ Tweed for under £65 if you want to look smart but save a few quid for that meal out.

 

Waistcoats For Larger Waists

A waistcoat can really set you apart as a dapper gent. Or a professional snooker player.

… But mostly as a dapper gent.

The trouble is, if you are over the XL threshold then it can be very hard to find a waistcoat that fits around your waist. We cater for up to 6XL and have a couple of styles: formal or smart: with a whole array of tasteful colours that are perfect for everything from smart-casual with jeans, to ‘fancy’ for special occasions … or even as a flash accessory for stage hypnotists or magicians.

Yes, you just don’t see big men’s waistcoats getting worn but it’s probably because you simply can’t find them. Maybe that magician had conjured them all away? We don’t know. But we have a load of them to suit the biggest of fellas so have a look and feel the magic.

Trousers and Chinos In Proper Sizes

It’s fine and dandy wearing a smart jacket or a posh waistcoat but you’re going to need something smart to cover your legs. It could get embarrassing if you don’t and it may even be illegal so let us suggest you take a look at our chinos and trousers

We cater for up to a 64” waist and a 34” leg, with a little more give in the leg area for the larger man. None of your skinny fit clobber here! We even have stretch fit technology (Cotton and Elastane on the chinos or Flexi waist on the trousers) to ensure that you remain stylish and comfortable at all times.

Then there are the colours. We have a HUGE selection of colours available so there will always be a shade to suit your ensemble. They will look absolutely spot-on with perhaps a waistcoast or tweed jacket. Did I mention we sell those?

Shirts In M to 8XL

“What’s that Steve? You do a medium?”

Yes, we do; sometimes. Shocking, isn’t it?

Anyway, all of the clothing we’ve mentioned above needs a decent shirt to go with it and we cater for almost all shapes, sizes, designs and colours. We’ve got everything from short-sleeved and patterned to long sleeved and smart, they are perfect for every occasion, be it a suave party or a hot holiday.

They start at under a tenner and we have some of the very best brands available in sizes that are hard to find. Some of the smart business-style shirts even include a matching tie so you don’t need to worry about trying to find a pair that suit each other, we really are good, aren’t we?

Looking Sharp, Chap!

Yes, we may be called ‘Big Tee Shirt’ but that’s not all we do!

We provide every kind of clothing for big men from casual to sporty and of course, the dapper clothes mentioned here. We can help you look smart when you need to, we’ll help you get that job, we’ll help you find clothes that actually fit and look good.

… The only thing we can’t help with is the ironing.

 

Cheap Clothes For Big Men

 

I’m a big bloke. I always have been.

Back in the 90’s I decided to start up Big Tee Shirt based on a simple philosophy: I wanted big men’s clothes at low prices. I knew all too well how hard it was to shop and find clothes that fitted properly when I wasn’t exactly formed in the standard mold.

There were two problems with big men’s clothes back then:
1: Finding the sizes that actually fitted me properly.
2: Finding bigger sized men’s clothes that were affordable.

In fact, finding clothes over a certain size at all was next to impossible. So, with necessity being the mother of invention, I created Big Tee Shirt: The home of clothes for big men with prices that we can all afford… Then took the business online to make sure that we had any big man in the uk covered. Literally.

Cheap On Price, High On Quality

It’s worth noting that “cheap” is a term that can be used in a number of ways. When I say it, I am referring to the price of the clothes we sell. It’s always been important to me that my customers feel like they have got a bargain so simply being cheap isn’t enough: It needs to be low cost but high quality.
I’m really proud to say that we stock some of the best brands available for big and tall men. Whether it’s Espionage, Kam, Double Two, Cotton Valley or D555 (To name but a few) – We’ve come to know and trust our suppliers and pride ourselves on not selling anything that we wouldn’t wear ourselves.

It’s taken me the best part of 20 years and quite a bit of trial and error to say that we have the very best names, the very best quality and the very best prices for big men’s clothes online. But year on year we get better and you simply won’t find the same value for money anywhere else.

 

“Big And Tall Men’s Clothes @ Small Prices”

Our company motto says exactly what we stand for.

Over the years I’ve seen companies come and go offering clothes for big guys at prices that are sky high. It’s fair to say that many companies feel compelled to ‘overcharge’ for larger sizes because perhaps they see it as ‘specialist’ or maybe the extra fabric means you can get away with hiking the prices? Maybe it’s the additional labour required to make larger clothes? We don’t know what other excuses there could be.

We’re not simply a business that’s here to take your money, we rely on you coming back. We do this by ensuring our profit margins are tight – and then passing that saving straight onto you, the customer. We stand by our motto and always will because we know the lifetime value of a customer is more important that making money in the short term. If you’re happy with the quality of the item, the price and the service, you’ll return. It’s simple!

The Big Tee Shirt Brand

We’re more than just a website: We’re Big Tee Shirt the clothing brand.

There has been times where we simply couldn’t find the clothes we were looking for at all. Not on the high street, not online, not anywhere. As a result, we decided to set up our own brand and create the clothes we wanted to wear because we couldn’t find them elsewhere.

We don’t just provide our customary big t-shirts either. There’s trousers, shorts, jogging bottoms, hoodies, underwear, sweatshirts and much more. As our waistline has grown, so has the range!

 

Standing The Test Of Time

Of course, we’re not the only place for plus-sized men’s clothes any more but we work hard to be the best.

Providing affordable and fashionable clothes for large men is important but we take pride in offering something extra that you won’t always find – and that is a level of care and customer service which won’t be beaten.

We’ve been here for nearly 20 years and plan on being here lot longer. We couldn’t do that without you and your continued support. So long as people keep coming back, we’ll keep providing big men’s clothes at small prices.

 

“Big and Tall” is not “Fat and Lazy”

 

I’m not a fan of bandwagons.

I love a good online debate: I’m not a chap known to shy away from stating an opinion and I respect people who form an opinion based on their genuine beliefs. I’ve probably got a thicker skin than most, being a big and tall man, but I have a limit.

I try not to use my blog as an opportunity to rant but one thing that really gets my goat and seems to be popular every January is the ‘fat-bashing’ that goes on in the media. Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite happy with the odd joke about being big. I’m fine with a bit of banter. I just hate being labelled a certain way, simply because I’m a big guy.

Every. Bloody. January.

It seems like the whole ‘New Year! New Me!’ trend comes around every January and fires up the media to push for ‘change’ and ‘improvement’ – and that is fine. If you want to change your lifestyle and exercise more then please do, but it irritates me no end to see the negative attitudes towards bigger folks.

Take this fine example (link at the end of the blog) from the Daily Fail:

… If you are over a certain age you are 80% more likely to be the following:

Overweight
Lazy
Inactive
Drink too much
Have “poor lifestyle habits”
Stressed

A third of us (apparently) do less than 30 mins of exercise a week

. Allegedly the article was based on an analysis by Public Health England and Oxford University Academics. It goes on to say that almost a third of middle aged people were obese and “if the middle-aged generation do not address their lifestyles soon, many will shortly fall victim to heart disease, type 2 diabetes or cancer”.

Does Rage Count As Exercise?

If it does, then reading the Daily Mail article was a full workout for me!

This is one example, but it does seem like there is a perception that bigger people are lazy, greedy and a health risk. Like we take out more from the UK system than we put back. It’s another case of pointing a finger at a group of people and playing the blame game.

I set up Big Tee Shirt back in the ‘90s after seeing first-hand how hard it was to find big and tall men’s clothes because I was a bigger man! I’ve always been big and with that comes certain difficulties in a world that was built for smaller people. But it drives me mad when the media paints bigger people as lazy and hogging resources.

How many times have you seen reports that being overweight was the reason that the NHS was under strain? But also you’ll see articles saying that obesity is the highest cause of premature death. Don’t the two seem to be at odds? We live in a time when we’re living longer as a species – To highlight that, back in the 17th century the average life expectancy was 35 years, and a study in 2012 says that now we’re at 81.5 years.

Well… If big people die younger, then how are they blocking up hospital beds?

“Overweight, Lazy Or Drink Too Much” – A Long Way From The Truth

Here’s what really annoys me: The perception that the kind of people we have as customers (the kind of people we ourselves are) and anyone who requires plus sized clothes are lazy and do not contribute; That is what I see when I read articles like those in the tabloids.

There is always a story doing the rounds based on some study than paints bigger folk as a drain on the economy. From my point of view it could not be further from the truth. For starters, many of our customers are quite simply, big people. They’ve always been big. Some are gym enthusiasts, others may look overweight but they are remarkably healthy. The bottom line is that people come in all sizes.

It seems crazy to generalise that people over a certain size are lazy alcoholics. In the same way the fashion industry seem to favour the waifs over normal-sized models… Though thankfully that is changing. The media seems to revel in trying to make people feel guilty for being the way they are and this is never more true than when it comes to a person’s weight.

Improve If YOU Want To:

Our view is this: If you want to make changes then do it for you, not because of garbage that you’ve read in the press. If you want to get more exercise then grab some of our big and tall jogging bottoms and get cracking. If you want to change your diet, do it because you want to. If you want to lose weight, just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons: Your happiness. Your family. Your overall wellbeing.

As you’ll know from our usual blogging style, we do have a sense of humour. But this time we wanted to point out how the media is too keen to blame bigger people and make them feel guilty for their size. We say you should be proud of who you are and if you want to change then do it for the right reasons.
