male only Where are you guys getting big & tall gym clothes ?

[Dub 9,922]

I need to get some new gym clothes. Shirts, long gym pants, shorts, etc.

Casual Male has a nearby store, but the prices are insane. Was hoping to find a more affordable online source.

Unfortunately that is where I WAS getting my stuff. Mainly the t-shirts so I could get XLT sizes. Nothing I hate more that worrying about raising my arms and my gut get exposed lol.

I'm not sure where you are located, but look for places that just sell plain t-shirts for screen printing. What size are you currently looking for?

[Dub 9,922]

5xlt & 4xlt

Need that "t" on the end for the exact reason you stated.

@@Dub - 5xlt & 4xlt I was heading that way, but stopped at 3X thankfully, which is where Kohls stopped. How much longer do you have to hold out at that size? I tossed a bunch of stuff that was very gently worn because I started pre-op diet.

My dad orders from www.blair.com for his clothes. He gets the 5xlt outfits for half the cost of Casual Male. I hope that this helps.

I used to buy most of my stuff off kingsizedirect.com However, unless they have something on clearance, the price is comparable to Casual Male, I think.

[Rovobay 920]

Amazon or Walmart? yeah, you don't want to spend too much on those clothes because you are going to be dropping shirt sizes frequently....

You can buy them online at Kingsizedirect.com, but I have to warn you, they do what I call "therapeutic sizing" meaning they usually size it up so a 2x fits like a 3x everywhere else etc. so make sure you are aware of that when ordering.

[Boombalatty 94]

Yeah, King Size runs bigger than some other places. Just look at their sizing charts. I could fit in one of their 3x before something off the rack at Walmart, for instance.

Another place I've gotten some stuff is from Goodwill after I got in 4x and below. Your luck may vary with that, though, as it all depends on your area....but you can't beat a $1.50 (or so) for a shirt if you can find it. The 4x were rare, 3x uncommon, 2x and smaller are easier to find.

[OneDollarBill 371]

Man too bad this wasn't a couple weeks a go. I took probably 15/20 4xlt shirts to my local charity Goodwill type place. I would have gladly sent you some.

[defibvt 348]

My 'go to' places for clothes has been Kohls and Amazon.com. As my weight has come off, I have been shopping at Goodwill. I know it can be hit and miss with sizes and selection, but it is far cheaper than the store. It would be nice if there was a swapping site, for people who have had bariatric surgery to share their weight loss success, excesses.

I bought things from the JCPenney website. They always have sales/coupons. Clicking on the big and tall section will let you easily sort items by size.

[snickysnack78 131]

I would also try Kmart. They have an online store that I believe goes up to that size. Good luck

[Dub 9,922]

Thanks, everyone.

I may be okay with the gear I already have. It should hold out until my surgery.

I was going through some of my old clothes packed away in the closet.....found some older (smaller sizes) clothes that are going to work.
