So this is a little weird asking this on a gun forum, but whatever.

Do any of the Larger GAHTF members have any suggestions for a clothier in North Georgia where a large man can get decent business attire?  I am 6'7", 280lbs and am having a hell of a time finding dress pants, shirts or anything else.  I have tried big and talls (Poor quality and out of touch with 21st century style), Jos. A. Bank (nicer looking stuff, but no options for a big man and quality seems questionable) and regular retailers (no options for me.)

I am perfectly comfortable with spending what it takes to get there, but even after placing a call to H. Stockton and Brooks Brothers, it seems like I am out of luck.

Does anyone have an suggestions for a place I can buy decent clothes that fit me?  It would also be nice if they were not stuffy and were willing to work with a clueless ogre of a man.

DestinationXL at Mall of Georgia in Buford or any Men's Warehouse location.

My son is almost as tall as you are and the Staff at Men's Warehouse have always taken good care of both of us.

Many of them have a much better selection online. The best shirts I've found is jos a bank traveler. No dry cleaner or ironing anymore.

Surprisingly Jc Penney has a great selection of tall and ex tall shirts. They are lower quality but still get it done.

K&g used to be good but no just a marshals type store.

If you need suits, there's a place at the apparel mart that has the best selection


And for the record I've yet to see something posted in this htf that didn't get a better than average answer

Dillard's and kohls are my go to for shirts. 6'6". 240 ish. Their big and tall is pretty decent, slacks and button down shirts fit fine.

I used to work at the Saks outlet and we could fit you, although the selection might be (and I'm really sorry here but I can't help it) slim.  The price will be a bit up but you would get very high quality stuff.  I once was able to fit a guy who needed a 56SP, that is short and portly, and I had a suit on the rack for him.  The tall selection was better than the short.

I found a place that will make me custom suits, trousers, shirts, etc... Assuming they come through, the search has ended for this big fella.

Depending on your budget, I have a friend that works for a company in the ATL area that is basically a traveling tailor. They measure you....completely...... and custom make a suit for you. They can make big people look good. (I am 6'6" 235)

As someone who wears a suit AND works outside on a daily basis, skip Jos. A Bank. Their stuff is cheap and doesn't last.

Jo's. A Bank is not what it used to be... Cheaply made suits and piss poor tailoring.
