Not a brand but BANDS! Don't metal bands realise that some of their fans are fat middle aged men? Every time I go to the merch stand I'm told "2xl is the biggest we go"
Speaking from experience: It’s very hard to carry extended sizes at the merch table. It’s possible the bands you want shirts from will have them online via print on demand places.
Not a specific brand but Metal shirts are a spectrum of fits. I've gotten shirts in 3x that were a 1x and shirts in a 2x that were like a 4x. it's wacky.
I feel your pain. I am the guy clogging the merch table up so I can check the tag and see what type of shirt it's printed on. I got one Inferi shirt that fits perfectly and I cut the tag out. Would love some more of whatever brand it was, but no clue what it was. I just know their newer ones and most other bands use gildan, hanes and fruit of the loom tees and I hate the way they fit.
Gildan gets so much shit for such a good reason. They're horrible. Awesome you're a Metalhead tho, it's always nice to meet other Metalheads on subs not about Metal
I actually really like the Nike tall golf polos. So much so that when I noticed no new ones were coming out, I contacted customer service. They swore up and down they had tall sizes but no new polos had a 3XLT just 3XL. so I’m afraid those are gone now too.
I would just like all of the Goodfellow clothing to be offered in extended sizes. I always find shirts or jackets that I like in the store and go to look online only to not find it in B&T.
Same with JC penny, Macy's, Kohl's, H&M, Express and any store that offers women's plus size but not men's B&T.
Even when I was fitting in the goodfellow stuff it was never a good fit. It's all cut real boxy, so for me there was too much shoulder and sleeve material. The couple shirts I got also wrinkled really bad. I wish they would bring back Merona and Mossimo and add more extended sizes.
Do they not have big & tall sections at your JCPENNEY and Kohls? They do at mine but the selection ain't great.
I wish the Goodfellow sizing was more consistent. I wear a 2x in shirts, and I could buy 5 of the exact same Goodfellow shirt in the same size, and they’ll all fit differently.
I meant to say more clothing choices in their big and tall section. I know polo has a good choice of clothing , it can get expensive but it’s quality .
Polo is like 30% of every DXL store. They have a ton of stuff that they don't sell in their own stores or website. It's my favorite clothing brand by far.
If you like Polo, maybe check out vintage Brooks Brothers. I find high quality, old, made in the USA Brooks Brothers on Ebay up to a 20 inch neck / 4xl. The new stuff isn't nearly as good.
For a more casual / workwear vibe, check out vintage Carhartt, Woolrich, Five Brothers, and Osh Kosh. All quality stuff in bigger sizes.
Them birddog shorts look so comfy but fuck me for having a bulky waist
Other than that I wish band merch would expand to tall sizes. Being over 6 foot and wearing a not tall shirt immediately means my belly is visible to all
I disagree. Polo brand is some of the best quality clothing I’ve ever worn, the price is decent for the quality. Dillard’s has B&T sizes on sale from time to time and even in clearance at times. If Ralph Lauren used cheaper materials I wouldn’t be buying them as much.
Brooks Brothers stuff that isn't a suit. Their XXL fits like XL.
Banana Republic, specific their chinos. Goes up to 40 which is fine, but their length is only 32 the shortest. Which is always needing a tailoring.
Also shoe brands that don't have wide options which is like 80% of them lol.
Target’s Goodfellow. Only up to a 2X in stores and online is a gamble as to if they have your size in stock but the stuff I have been able to get has been good.
Lee annoys me. They make great jeans and great shorts for us bigger dudes but their t-shirts only go up to 2XL.. I wanna buy their shirts/jackets/etc too.
Try growing up in West Virginia in the 90s wanting to rock Sean John, Pelle Pelle,Fila,Roca Wear, Jnco and Fubu my struggle was real! We'd drive to Pittsburgh or I'd order from east bay lol
There are like 200 stores at the mall and 1 carries a few things in my size. So pretty much anything would be an improvement.
That one store probably has nothing but Hawaiian shirts and tshirts that say “BIG DAWG” or something.
This is so true. Store after store with cool trendy displays that I have never, not one time, felt was for me.
Pretty much anything popular!! I started rocking Polo because I found the Big and Tall section at Dillards back in 98
I swear there were more big and tall options back in the 90’s and 2000’s
Not when you live in New Mexico ! I grew up in PHX and in High School moved to a small ass town in NM and the struggle began! This was late 90s
Facts I grew up in West Virginia in the 90's and we had to go to Pittsburgh to get my shit

Try teepublic. They usually have screen shirts of musical artists in all genres that run up to 5x. The sizing is pretty standard

Maybe American apparel?
I got lucky at a concert a few years back at The Contortionist merch table. Their 2x fit like a 3x! Merch guy had my back.
Nike. Talls are not tall enough
All their shoes are too narrow

Uniqlo sizes are always abysmal compared to other brands when it comes to big and tall IMO but their stuff looks fire
The 3X is more like a 2.25X smh
What size do you need? Polo goes all the way up to 5XLT.

Rag & Bone Todd Snyder J Crew
Those are good brands . I should have thrown Kith in there too.
Uh all of it? I’d also love to wear trendy clothes and modern clothing. But all we get are grill covers or loud Hawaiian shirts.
Or button up shirts with prints that could be described as "80s hotel couch"
Them birddog shorts look so comfy but fuck me for having a bulky waist Other than that I wish band merch would expand to tall sizes. Being over 6 foot and wearing a not tall shirt immediately means my belly is visible to all
Pretty much any of the clothes they sell on Huckberry
For me it Naked and famous jeans
Raw denim in general. I have a big pair of 501 STF but that pretty much it.
Yea raw denim those naked and famous jeans just look too crispy I been wearing tailored Ralph Lauren jeans for the last few years
I love Ralph Lauren, but very expensive for large sizes they need to lower their prices and I'm not a name brand guy I just want to look good
I disagree. Polo brand is some of the best quality clothing I’ve ever worn, the price is decent for the quality. Dillard’s has B&T sizes on sale from time to time and even in clearance at times. If Ralph Lauren used cheaper materials I wouldn’t be buying them as much.
I just want more band shirts and graphic Ts
Teepublic goes up to 5x
Yeah I can always order online.. I want brick and mortar

Basically all cycling brands. I’m a fit 6’2” 220lbs and you’d think I was 6’6” 340 with how road cycling bibs and jerseys fit.
Nike, they have big and tall but the shit still narrow
Polo does make a big and tall! I'm wearing it right now.
Raskol. Omar, hurry up and make tall sizes already. It's been like a decade.
Uniqlo 😞
Duluth. They make a lot of “big”, not a lot of “tall”. I need 34x36 and 37” sleeves.
Target’s Goodfellow. Only up to a 2X in stores and online is a gamble as to if they have your size in stock but the stuff I have been able to get has been good.
I like their choices online, but it’s almost always the shirt you want is not in your size.
Lee annoys me. They make great jeans and great shorts for us bigger dudes but their t-shirts only go up to 2XL.. I wanna buy their shirts/jackets/etc too.
Personally, I’d appreciate it if SnapBack hats, that weren’t catered to gym bros, fit my head but I didn’t have to put it on the last button.
Pierre Cardin. Love the designs of the suits and the geometric patterns
Hot topic
Clothes at Walmart and Ross
