Larger fit clothing brands, but not quite big and tall
Hey everyone,
I'm having the hardest time finding clothing brands (for tops) that fit me, as I'm a bit more heavyset/larger than the average person. I've been to the big and tall stores, and their smallest size is too large for me. The best brand shirt that I have found to fit me, are brooks brothers relaxed fit shirts/sweaters. Calvin Klein relaxed fit work sometimes, but tend to be on the short side.
I'm a 6'0" guy, 235lbs, approx. 52" chest, 17.5 collar, 36/37 sleeve. My shoulders are 52-54", depends over time actually. Pant size is 38. My problem essentially is my shoulders, then maybe my chest.
So, with that said, when I go to big and tall, the smaller sizes are either way too baggy around the chest/waist but fine in the shoulders and/or come down way to low in length.
It's been frustrating to say the least. Stores like Frank and Oak, BR, Mexx, Gap, Jack and Jones, J. Crew, Club Monaco, etc don't carry larger than XL. Rarely will I see a XXL. Those rare events, the XXl is still way to tight, and looks like I'm wearing my wifes clothing.
As I said, brooks brothers relaxed/classic fit works the best (to give you a size comparison), but my entire wardrobe is pretty much brooks brothers now. I'd love to expand, with some good quality clothing. Prefer to be Canadian sources, just because there's going to be definite return/exchanges initially. So without being too picky, it would be nice if its an online source, for free shipping and returns as well lol.
I hope you can help! Thanks in advance.
