How about vehicles? And airplane seats? Stadium seating? And lots more things made for folks close to "average" in size? At least golf equipment can be fit for us. In the rest of society, we simply do not have the choices available to our ...uh...ur... "height challenged" brethren. (and that's OK, I no longer care) |
Wow. Glad I am not the smallest guy on here (6'4", 340). DXL is a great place to get Callaway golf shirts and even some of the Reebok stuff is good too.

Davis Big and Tall can hook you up. I am short and extremely fat, and they serve me well.

Yep. I hate this. I need 28/32. They just don't make that. Did you mystype 34/34, b/c thats a round shape, not tall and skinny? haha

What? 34 isn't round! I resemble that remark :)

Big and Tall
I am 6ft 4inches and over 200 pounds. I get a lot of 'you should get longer clubs' (they are moron) etc.
Is there any other big and tall golfers out there with funny stories, tips, and sites to buy cheap giant clothes!! |

Good luck in your search....I know its frustating!! |
I notice when I'm shooping around for new golf clothes that TK Maxx (TJ Maxx in USA I think!) always seem to have sizes above and below average sizes, lots like XS, XL or XXL shirts and size 30/28, 30/30, 36/34 or 38/34 trousers where I would take size M shirt and 32/30 or 34/30 trousers which I would consider would be in around average sizes
Hope this helps, considering your in Ireland im sure there is a TK Maxx near you, i know there is a few here in Dublin! |
Destination XL and Kingsize are the only sites I can shop. Their respective stores also help. I wear 4XLT shirts and 60XT sportcoats. They have pants with un hemmed bottoms or they will hem to fit. They also regularly have inseams to 36"
If they can fit me, hopefully they can help others. Tapatalking |
I'm tall and skinny and find deals on pants all the time because a 34/34 is not a common size. The problem is they are hard to find when I want to pay full price and need them ASAP. Here in America they assume iif you're tall you are also fat.
|
Used to be that the clothes were made to fit more loose, so I could fit the large sizes. Now everything is athletic fitted fitted. Case in point - I am 6-2 200, usually wear a large. My father in law who is 5-7 150 was gifting some older barely warn shirts. They were all size medium, but I could not say no. Believe it or not, they fit. Pants on the other hand are more difficult. Like JRod said, hard to find, and rarely on sale.

I find it most difficult with Golf trousers. I need a 38-36. I can make do with a 34 leg if i have to, which i do. I have found nike trousers to be the best fitting and you can get them at a reasonable price. T-shirts are not a problem, fitting in to xl and some L. For price and style, I like the dunlop range. Although im not sure if available in the states.

I'm also 6'4", but hover around the 250 mark. I find that many of the catalogs catering to big/tall don't appeal to me - just because I'm big doesn't mean I want outlandish clothes! If you have a K-Mart near you, they have a big/tall section as does JC Penny. I mostly have issues with the length of shirts, as I have a long torso, and need the "T" at the end of the size, e.g., XLT, XXLT, etc...
As far as the clubs go, a factor in club length (among others) is where your hands are at address, and not how tall you are. Happy Golfing! |
I'm a big SOB myself. 6'4 and currently 258. I'm getting smaller though at least that's the goal. I prefer to wear XL shirts but some can be too short. If I jump up a size they swallow me.

I'm about your height and aboot 215 but I find that large shirts fit me perfectly. I have trouble finding shoes though, my feet are long and thin (hey ooooo) and most shoe companies seem to think that if you have long feet then they must be wide too.
