Default Big Man Big Clothes

Just moved to Dubai and am having a problem finding big clothes sizes, even the standard 18 and a half collar size seems impossible to find! Bit embarrassing but i thought id give it a shot, if anyone knows of nay shops which sell big "ish" clothes please let me know. Chubby but cute UK guy needs new clothes!

Have seen a shop called big and tall men in Dubai on the net so will travel there and have trawled the whole of Mall of Emirates, just got back, couldnt find anything apart from a a selection of disgusting Bling shirts from "phat farm".

Please help

Are you also tall - if it's not a personal question?

there is a fat blokes shop on Bank Street opposite Burjuman.
Otherwise there is always M&S in a couple of locations.

Inse is correct, it is near Mashreq Bank and the FedEx Kinkos place on the Creek side of Bank Street, near the big junction at Bur Juman shopping centre.

It's like Sigmund Freud once said "See yourself as normal, everyone else is either mentally or physically a wierdo..."

I'm 2.04 meters tall, way in at 119 kilo's. That's why I like flying to the USA with nearly empty suitcases, Need my 119 kilo's to get them closed after men's shopping for large sizes which is easy there. The weak US$ has it's advantages.

Yea I've bought stuff there, but the prices are so high it's worth doing what Dutchie does and fly to the US - the cost savings will practically cover the air fare............
