Hi there,
this is my first ever post on style forum, although I have been benefitting from this vast resource of knowledge, information and opinion for the past couple of years. Thank you!
I was moved to become a member and post my first thread after perusing the "bargains for big guys" thread because, in my experience, that's a complete oxymoron; there are no bargains! Specialist shops and tailors are like undertakers...they don't have sales, 'cos they know that you don't really have much choice! Furthermore, I find that big & tall stores don't really cater for my build. Things that fit my upper body flap like an a-line skirt around my torso, so I end up paying a premium at the store, and then again to get them altered. Frustrating (and expensive!) to say the least.
However, Bmulford's dimensions revealed, at last, that I am not alone when it comes to an unusual physique (Bmulford, if you're still a member, I'll pm you shortly...) My measurements are as follows:
6'9"
225-230lbs
46"chest
35"waist
38" inside leg
shoes US16D
If anyone has stylish garments (sports jackets, suits, or shoes) in these sizes that need a new home in London, then please don't hesitate to drop me a line. Many thanks, guys. All the best.
