Why don't brands do 3XL size clothing?

April 17, 2010 2:12pm CST
I am a large guy (hence by blog being named Fat Bloke Moaning) and I find rather frustrating that a lot of brands like Vans, Animal, Fat Face and so on will not make 3XL size clothing. I love a lot of the clothing done by Vans (I love their beanie hats and footwear) and would love to get some of their tops, same goes with Fat Face and Animal, but they do not and have no plans to do so. Why do this? I'm fairly certain I'm not the only person this size (and larger) who would love to wear their clothing...so what gives?

I guess they think that larger people don't care about their looks because otherwise they wouldn't be large and hence don't care about the brands. So it would not be profitable enough to produce clothes of that size. However, I do think that big people do care about how they look, they are humans too and humans tend to care about their appearance... Especially the people who are big because of some sort of malfunctioning of their digestion usually care about it. I'm the opposite, I'm underweight because of a digestion problem and it sucks that you have to go the the children's department to get a belt that works for you, I guess they should make clothes to smaller people as well ;)

I totally agree with you there, look beyond the average and think of the tiny and the large!
