Burlington Coat Factory

Check out the Burlington Coat Factory in North Riverside, large selection of men's clothing. It will take some work due to the racks and racks of clothing, but my true clothes whores will be up to the challenge. If you are not in the mood to comb through the piles of clothing(literally), head towards the back left.
I have yet to visit the remaining BCFs in the area, so if you know of one that caters to the big-bone men, please speak up. We need as many resources as possible. Also, can someone please come up with a new moniker for us. I am utterly tired of "Big and Tall". Once again, if you have any suggestions, I am all ears.

Ebay

As you endlessly scour the internet and local retailers for style, try Ebay. As an accessory aficionado, Ebay has become quite the oasis for me. They have categorized appropriate clothing as "Big and Tall", but don't let that limit your search. I have found some great finds among the ordinaries (and I say ordinaries due to their lack of extroidinary stature) such as socks, ties, scarves, hats, tee shirts, belts, and the so on. Rather inexpensively priced from trusted and not so credible sellers, so beware. It is a human built, human powered system, so do your homework to curtail shady transactions. If you find something worth mentioning, take a pic and send it in. I would be more than happy to post it.
