2.  
3.  
4. Bad boy brands.
5. I am going to have to be careful I don’t mention some brands by name! But here is my tip….if the <a href="http://www.kingsize.com.au">Big and Tall</a> retailers do not carry the brand, then there is a reason! Some of the surfwear brands have terrible fits.
6. Cheap suits.
7. They are cheap because they do not have the right linings, fusing and trimming. We have found that <a href="http://www.bigmensclothing.co.nz">new Zealand </a>made suits are extremely well made. If your suit has cheap fusing, shoulder pads and interlinings…your better of just turning up in a shirt and a tie. When I have worn a great fitting suit, I have found that people really notice and mention it. After all I’m a big billboard, if the gear I have on looks good then I’m a far better advertisement than the smaller “samwhich board” guys!
8. Ensure your <a href="http://www.bigguy.com.au">online shopping </a>experience does not duplicate the same mistakes
9. Bad service.
10. If the salesperson trips up guessing your size then they really should be avoided. If they start telling you how wonderful you look, take my advice…just check the mirror.
11. Short trouser lengths and small collars:
12. Make sure the salesperson gets the length right. The trouser should be touching your heel. Avoid cut away collars they are not designed for big guys. They look terrible on small guys too!
13. Buying everything in Black
14. I know you’ve been told a thousand times Black is slimming. But c’mon step out a little bit. You’re a big canvas, use it. Don’t be afraid to attract attention.

Been smashing through the suits, putting them on the site. We now have over 50 suits to choose from and still adding. We got some new &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kingsize.com.au/estore/style/bs9640.aspx&quot;&gt;Boland Sidon trousers&lt;/a&gt; in. Kind of a funky fake denim style. Had a look around the shop for any stock that’s not on the web and found some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kingsize.com.au/estore/category/jackets.aspx&quot;&gt;jackets&lt;/a&gt;   so we put them on the site too. About to hunt through the jeans to see if there’s anything else not on the web yet. &lt;br /&gt;

17. <br />
18. Business suits when fitted neatly have killer looks and  style but they are difficult garments to play football in.<br />
19. <br />
20. Baggy, loose trousers certainly are far more relaxing to  wear but who wants to attend an important meeting in them?<br />
21. <br />
22. Who are we to tell you whether you should be comfortable in  your clothing or not?</p><p>At <a href="http://www.kingsize.com.au">Kingsize</a>, we have no interest in seeing you leave the  store with ill fitting clothes.<br />
23. <br />
24. It is our job to ensure that you become an advert for our  business. </p><p>Suits should be fitted properly, neat and snug on the chest  without pulling. Coats that are too big, whilst they may offer more room,  generally sag over the shoulders and at the front coat button.<br />
25. <br />
26. There has to be a trade off between style and the ability to  be able to “open the bowling” in your suit coat. <br />
27. <br />
28. We recommend that the garment fit neatly at rest, not fit  while in the act of wrestling a crocodile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee432/kingsizebt/studiosuit.jpg&quot; width=&quot;226&quot; height=&quot;281&quot; alt=&quot;Big mens suits&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://kingsizebigandtall.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-is-more-important-should-large.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KINGSIZE Big and Tall)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539623177930881150.post-3242879654909168611</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 08:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-20T19:42:43.762-07:00</atom:updated><title>Why don’t Big and Tall clothing retailers simply ask manufacturers to standardize their sizing?</title><description>At &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kingsize.com.au&quot;&gt;Kingsize Big &amp;amp; Tall&lt;/a&gt;, the fashion buyers will request  size specifications from all their various big and tall specialty brands. We  try to ensure that they fall somewhere within a standard deviation of each  size.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Of course each fashion label has it&amp;rsquo;s own idea of size. The  bigger the label in the market the more hard and fast they are about keeping  their own size specifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
29.      Not all Big & Tall retailers agree on what size is best.  Like all businesses we all have a different idea on fit. <br /><br />
30.      For instance we at <a href="http://www.kingsize.com.au">Kingsize Big & Tall</a> feel department  store sizes are too small. A 3X in some discount stores fits more like our  standard XL. Many 7X t-shirts and polo’s at discount stores are closer to our  3XL fit.</p>    <p>Thankfully at <a href="http://www.kingsize.com.au">Kingsize Menswear</a> we have done something about  this by providing size specifications by brand. Please only use these as a  guide. We cannot guarantee manufacturers stick to even their own size charts!  At this stage (well until the competition copy us) we are the only <a href="http://www.kingsize.com.au">Big and Tall  website</a> do to this in the world.<br /><br />
31.    These size guides took many weeks of measuring each brands  garment by size. We found many garments vary significantly from what the  manufacturer recommended on their own size charts.</description><link>http://kingsizebigandtall.blogspot.com/2011/06/why-dont-big-and-tall-clothing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KINGSIZE Big and Tall)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539623177930881150.post-8769208723057378142</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 08:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-20T01:14:41.747-07:00</atom:updated><title>Standardization of sizes.</title><description>For many years consumers have asked for a some kind of standardization to make their shopping experience easier and quicker. If there is demand for this then why haven’t designers responded by collaborating together?&lt;br /&gt;
32. 1) Difference of taste, opinion and uniqueness.<br />
33. Strong Fashion Brands have a unique sense of style, cut and fit. Each fashion designer has a specific target market of "it” people in mind when they set about designing garments. <br />
34. The stronger brands spend time on examining how their garments fit, engineering a different pattern for each style, whereas run of the mill labels will use the closest pattern to hand.<br />
35. 2) Differentiation<br />
36. If all white business shirts had exactly the same fit, would the decision on buying one come down to just price? Fashion Labels want a different cut and fit to capture a segment of the market who will disregard price in order to find the right cut. This is the first stage of Brand loyalty.<br />
37. 3) Competition: Obstacles to trade.<br />
38. Given the advent of the internet, what designer in their right mind would want to collaborate on size?<br />
39. If there was standardization, once a customer knew they were a size &quot;10” then why would they bother ever trying on a garment, everything would be based on price. Service, style and fit advice would disappear from the retail landscape. Each designer and even retailers would prefer to cultivate and service their own set of customers.</description><link>http://kingsizebigandtall.blogspot.com/2011/06/standardization-of-sizes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KINGSIZE Big and Tall)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539623177930881150.post-4104097247886337915</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2011 08:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-20T19:45:23.127-07:00</atom:updated><title>Why do different brands have different sizes?</title><description>This is one of those perennial questions that have been  asked since clothing first began and not just in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kingsize.com.au&quot;&gt;Big and Tall clothing&lt;/a&gt; market segment. Surely back in time, cavemen asked why one loincloth made by  someone in one village was different in sizing to the loincloths available in  the next village? The Romans probably wondered why one toga fitted differently  from another too.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Every tailor had his own idea of size, probably based around  the size and build of themselves, in that case every tailor considered him self  a &amp;ldquo;medium&amp;rdquo; regardless of how big he actually was! Village tailors more than  likely used family and friends as their pattern models.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;So what size is medium? Does it depend on what culture you  come from? What is the medium height and build of a say a Dutchmen compared to  say a Chinaman?</description><link>http://kingsizebigandtall.blogspot.com/2011/06/why-do-different-brands-have-different.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (KINGSIZE Big and Tall)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
