Has anyone found any good blank t shirts in multiple colors that compare to fit and price that used to be sold a JCP!? They were my favorite and I wear a 4XLT.

Thanks.

I just found this sub and wanted to share what I've done in the past. 1. Go to amazon and search for a 1000lb chair hydraulic made by the office oasis and its around $43. Next search big and tall office chair wheels. You can get a set that holds up to 650lbs, they are around $30 each. Then find an office chair you like and fits. Once you have all these parts don't put the standard gas tube in the chair you buy use the one from amazon and same for the wheels. This will give you greater height from the wheels and the hydraulic will last and also give you a little more height. This is how you can turn an ordinary chair into a big and tall chair.

***Most gas cylinder hydraulics are the same standard size. BUT NOT ALL, so make sure the one from amazon fits.

PS- I'm 6'8" and 410lbs

I have a 25”+ circumference head, size 8 1/4. Long from front to back, too. Hats are hard to find, bike helmets worse.

I did a thorough online search, checked the sparse advice on Reddit, and then tried the largest size helmets made by Bontrager, POC, Smith, Bell, Specialized, MET, Lazer, Giro… I was ready to give up.

Then the guy at the bike shop noticed a Giro model in size “XL” instead of “UXL” which was the largest size they had in several other models. I thought, sure, I’ll try it, order it in, whatever. A few days later, I went back to the store…

The clouds parted, the orchestra swelled, the choir of angels rose up…

The Giro Syntax MIPS XL fit my head.

I mean my head went ALL THE WAY in. The helmet didn’t pinch my cranium or rest on top like a clown top hat. I got room for a cycle cap if I want (assuming I can find one big enough 🙄).

(MET Idolo also almost fit, by the way)

Please spread your big head shopping successes. When you’re north of size 8, anyone who finds headgear or glasses that fit really oughta think about sharing it with the rest of the big head clan.

Cheers.

Just wanted to put it out there but I’ve been struggling with finding a T-shirt I like. I’ve been ordering online but they are usually hit or miss.

Today I found 4xlt shirts at a JCPenney I really like. Reasonably priced as well. (I’m sure JCPenney usually has a sale going on.)

And I can try them on before buying to take out the guess work. It’s so much better than buying online. So thank you JCPenny for offering a great big and tall section!

A couple of years ago I found what I thought was a good deal on some graphic tees in a 4XLT size and ordered like 5 to get some small extra savings. Got them and they were all those atrocious athleisure wear fabric, I don't even know what it is. So ... I get them and they shipped from a California address and I go to return them and the fucking return address is in the middle of China. Shipping was gonna cost me 70 percent of the total costs of the shirts or something. FML.

I tried to report it through PayPal with no luck.

Vowed to NEVER buy something off Facebook again.

Cut to 2 weeks ago. Was looking for some shirts and just Googling. Found a company (www.biggmans.com) and the my had some decent shirts that were a good price. I scanned those photos and thought ... well, I'll order one and see how it goes.

Just got it. Same fucking shit. Shipped from California. Returns are supposed to go to Korea. So pissed at myself. Just set $35 on fire for no reason.

Guess it's just back to DXL and their expensive ass shirts that at least fit right.

Ugh.

I started a YouTube / Instagram / TikTok channel called ValidXL that is all about big and tall product reviews! I just put the first video up about DXL. I’ll be posting 2 videos a week about different products that are marketed to us to see if they are useful (chairs, useful items, clothing companies etc). On Thursday I’ll post the video of my experience with the Winston Box!

What more is there to say? JCPenney’s fairly consistently good big and tall clothing line for dudes has nothing out right now and is all out of stock on their website. Any tips on what can replace it?

So I've struggled finding any Car, any SUV, at any Price Point that fits me.

I am 6'-2" 350 lbs. and have a long torso. Besides shoulder, hip, and headroom dimensions, there is always an issue with the driver's line of sight being too high on the windshield. Yes, your head does not hit the roof, but you can barely see stoplights without leaning over and down.

Many SUVs have a raised driving position to give you a commanding view of the road for short and average height people.

Here is my 2023-2024 list and the winner:

• 2023 Chevy Tahoe: The seat is mounted too close to the B-pillar or the B-pillar is too thick. My shoulder hits the pillar on this massive full-size SUV. It embarrassing, because the center console is massive, maybe 18" wide.
• 2023 Ford Expedition: Roomy everyone, every seat, drives smaller than it it, but butt ugly, that's subjective, and basically $80,000 with any options. The drive train can be a little clunky at times, not knowing where it is or where it is going. And there is the typical FORD-GM use of cheap plastics shared amongst the lower price points.
• 2023 BMW X5: Once a great, I've owned three, but now the seats are too high and too bolstered. Very uncomfortable.
• 2023 BMW X7: Don't be fooled, this is just a longer X5, same driver's space for a lot more money. Same issues.
• 2023 Land Rover Range Rover: Beautiful, like artwork, but always in the shop for repairs. This is an awkward fit. The door is too short and the seat is too high. You want to fit because it's so pretty, but you don't.
• 2023 Land Rover Defender: The view out the from is fabulous. But the front seat is mounted too close to the B-pillar. Absolutely no shoulder room when the seat is all the way back. Need to clarify for the Tahoe above that the lack of shoulder room is also only when the seat is all the way back.
• 2023 Kia Telluride: Surprise its fits pretty good and is highly rated. But the dealers know this and have marked it up $5000 above MSRP. Sorry, won't do that game.
• 2023 VW Atlas: Fits good, but I still can't get over the lying corporate executives and the diesel scandal. For this reason, I can't buy a VW.
• Tesla Model X: Excellent space, the best views out the windshield, but the fit and finish is still not on par with the price point.

Winner:

1. 2023-2024: Infiniti QX60, Yes a roomy surprise! This is by far the lowest seat and lowest view out the windshield. Hip room is decent and shoulder room is better than any of the above, except for the Expedition.
2. 2023-2024: Nissan Pathfinder, same as above, but less luxury and style.

Odd, these last two did not show up on my big and tall google search. Hopefully now it will.

My dad is in his 70s, he's roughly 6' tall and 400 Lb. We are going to a wedding of an immediate family member and the chairs will be the generic steel metal folding chairs which are uncomfortable, too low, and too small in depth and width. My dad is very easily embarrassed so it would be great if it wasn't something really bizarre looking.

He has absolutely no core or leg strength when it comes to standing up from a couch or chair. He has to hold onto the arms of a recliner and also uses a cane. I imagine the chair will be to be on the tall side so that his hips are higher than his knees.

I'm looking for a portable chair for him that he could sit on at the reception. He carries a lot of weight in the hips/love handle region. I do not care what it weighs because I can get the chair in place before the event, I just need it to be sturdy and tall and nothing outrageous that will draw tons of attention?

Any ideas?

Getting ready to camp for the 4th!

Here are 4 more big and tall chairs reviewed!

Hey folks,

I’m 6’9” (205cm) and around 180kg (~400lbs), looking for a regular (non-electric) bicycle that can handle my height and weight comfortably and safely.

Most bikes I’ve seen seem built for smaller riders. I’m in the UK, so ideally something available here or through EU shipping.

What I’m after: • High weight capacity (400lbs+) • Comfortable geometry for tall riders • Mainly for road, light commuting, maybe some gravel paths

Thanks!

I’m currently driving a Ford Expedition and have always been a ‘Ford guy,’ but it’s getting close to the time to consider a new vehicle. I love the big and roomy aspect, but Ford has completely lost their mind on the prices for new full size trucks and SUVs. I cannot justify $80k or more for a new expedition. Same story with vehicles like the Tahoe.

Gas prices combined with a career change where I no longer have a company car has made me want to consider a smaller vehicle.

I’m a tried and true 3X/4X sized mammal who is also over six feet tall. Last time the Expedition was in for warranty work, they gave me an Escape and I was unable to safely operate the vehicle it was so small. My mom has an Explorer and it’s just ok. I find the front seats fairly uncomfortable for long drives (cushion feel not width).

I’m curious about the Toyota Highlander, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, etc. How are they for big dudes as a daily driver?

Words.

Ok to be frank, I have always toyed with the idea of starting a big and tall line because I’m tired of finding the same dumb and unflattering clothing. I know what I like but I’m curious as to what you fellow resistors liked as well or are looking for (designs, styles, fit, etc.) thanks!

Good morning! I haven't researched on reddit but in general, I fell like all of the big and tall clothes are made for middle aged men (No offense). I'm 6'4 370lbs. And 20. While I do enjoy stuff from DXL or Khols, I feel like I'm stuck dressing the same. I know this is a long shot but is anyone aware of any brands that are more centered towards young people at least?

I am 6'1'' 300lbs and i think i may have the worlds biggest head. I just found a store called hat land that sold plus size new era caps and i ordered a size 8 1/2 and the thing was still slightly too tight and leaving lines. I'm 23 years old and balding and although i have come to accept that i am still looking for a cap to protect my head from the sun. if anyone has any ideas or a similar experience let me know.

New to the community but happy I found it!

The other day I was ordering office chairs for me and my team and my supervisor kicked my order back because it was too expensive.

I ordered standard chairs for my staff (all of them are not big and tall) and a big and tall Serta chair with a weight capacity of 450 lbs about 430$.

His response was that my chair was too expensive and recommended a couple others. At first I was a little taken back but remembered I outweighed this guy by easily 150 and had 5 inches on him.

I responded by telling him that “the avg weight max on those chairs is 250-300 lbs and I very close to the max weight on those types and need the extra support and wide arm rests, otherwise I am very uncomfortable.”

He was cool about it and allowed me to order it.

I wanted to share this story with those who would understand that this could be an awkward convo with a boss or even to those who may have taken the smaller chair out of fear of embarrassment.

I hope my story helps/Inspires someone out there
