Where do the Big Men shop online?

When I saw this thread, I read it as "where does Big Man shop on-line". I thought, wow, someone started a thread just about me. :eusa_clap Then I saw it was Big MEN not Big MAN. [huh]

I'm 6' 6" and about 360 lbs. I wear a 60 extra long suit, a shirt with a 20" neck and 40" sleeve, and size 14 EEE shoes. Shopping on-line (or in stores) is a challenge.

What I find too often in the "big and tall" catalogs is it's either "big" OR "tall", but not "big AND tall". You can find plenty of 50" waist pants, but they are most all short rise and only go to a 30" inseam. Likewise, you can find plenty of high rise pants with 36" inseam, but they only go to a 46" waist. I need both a 50" waist and a 36" inseam.

I've had some success finding shirts at a reasonable price at Casual Male.com. Also, some shirts from King Size (kingsizedirect.com). My dad, who was my size, used to shop mail order (pre "on-line days") with King Size. They used to have a high quality product that would fit him, but now they have (my opinion) a line of crap, with the exception of a very few things (cotton oxford, button color shirts being the exception).

Another source for some good clothing I found is bigmen.com. They have a good assortment of cloths at reasonable prices, and the quality has been good so far. As for shoes, I've had success finding big sizes at B.A. Mason's on-line. They have everything from dress shoes to work boots, and I've been very pleased with the quality of their products. Also, I can find some clothing and shoes/boots that will fit me on-line at Cabela's. Most of their clothing is for "little people", but occasionally I'll find things in a "real man's size." :D

As far as suits, for the past several years I've had all mine made by ravistailor.com. I've been very pleased with the fit, the quality, the service, and the price. By having the suits custom made, I can have the rise I like and have all the other "adjustments" that make a suit comfortable to me. I can't say enough good about my experiences with them.
