Both myself and my husband have trouble getting clothes to fit. I'm lucky and more womens clothes come in a 33 in leg but my hubby has difficulties in that those few locally that do do his leg length don't do his waist size, apparantly you can't be large and tall on the high street. I had serious trouble whilst pregnant, you can't be large tall and pregnant either.

Anyway to answer the original question, yes yes yes, we would use a shop that sold taller stuff as long as it came in bigger sizes too.

Check out fat face, I am 6'2" with a leg bias and their 'L' (long) trousers always fit fine without fail. :)

Oh and their clothes are the highest of high quality too, highly recommended.

I bought one of these today, it's super!

My better half is 6ft with a 36" inside leg and she would love to be able to buy her clothes in Stafford and not travel to Manchester every time she wants something nice to wear.

There is what I think is a new stall on the market called: "Larger than Life"

They certainly have long shirts on display, I didn't look at the trousers (being a shortarse)

Go in through the side entrance and it is immediately on your right (I think I got that right)

Good luck in the search.

Ah, that might explain a certain new user who signed-up the other day. ;)

Alas, they haven't clicked the link in their welcome email to verify their account, and so haven't logged-on since.

Nice one Ecker. I shall inform my giant friend!!
Hmm; it's a shame some kind soul did Larger Than Life's job for them, though. We should have used to opportunity to encourage them to come back, verify their account, and join in! :P
 
I am here... Larger Than Life Xl Menswear Stafford Market. I stock Trousers upto 70" waist and extra long legs upto 38" leg on jeans and 34" some 38" on trousers. I also have a website www.xlme.co.uk, take a look or come in to have a chat.

Thank you to the guy who introduced this site to me the other day.
