Big and Tall Groom

Erica, on August 18, 2017 at 8:47 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

So there is plenty of information out there about "curvy" bridal fashion. But absolutely nothing for when you have a big and tall groom. I am trying to figure out what will be the best way to dress him. Does anyone have any pictures? Articles? Or anything that could help me get an idea ?!

    I'd recommend seeing if there's an Indochino anywhere near you.

    FH's coworker is tall and also a bodybuilder, so his proportions are just not normal at all and he can't buy suits at "normal" stores, so he uses them. Indochino does bespoke-type suiting for a fairly affordable price point. Everything is custom measured and custom made for each guy. FH bought his wedding suit from there but they also do tuxes - no rentals though, obviously, so it would be a purchased one.

    How big and tall? My husband and his groomsmen are pretty big and tall. My husband is 6'3, and two of his groomsmen are 6'5/6'6. They were able to rent from Men's Wearhouse. Husband was in vest and jacket, and groomsmen were in just a vest.

    We used Xedo and they were awesome! We had someone who was 6'8" and others who wore a 3x shirt. They ship the tuxes two weeks before the wedding so they can overnight any replacements if something doesn't fit right. Everyone looked great in their tuxes for ours!

    You can get custom tuxes or of you're willing to be a little more casual, dress pants, white shirts, and suspenders are a great look. I'm not entirely sure about vests, but I believe those would look great too

    My FH went to MW and since his neck is an 18.5 they didn't carry shirts that fit him! We found them at Kohls. Everything else they got from MW though.

    We had some very tall groomsmen, and men's warehouse had the same suits available in their sizes.

    FH shops at DXL regularly, we always have a good experience with them!

    We're renting through Men's Warehouse.

    He's 6'3"/ 3x

    FH is a big and tall guy and I called a local men's store and they said they can easily accommodate him. Many places I've contacted have said they can go up to 7XT of that helps.

    H is 6'5", but he's not necessarily "big." I mean, he's no twig either.

    I think he bought something off the rack at K&G.

    My brother is considered big & tall. 6'3, 300 lbs, and when it comes to formal wear he goes to Men's Wearhouse, and a local store that is specifically for big and tall guys formalwear. I would do a quick google search to see if there are any stores like that near you.

    FH bought a Ralph Lauren suit, its and ultra flex so has some stretch. He says it's super comfortable, he bought them boho at men's warehouse and he has been wearing the other one to all of our summer weddings. It looks awesome! He has also gotten suits at DXL in the past, he loved those too

    My FH and his groomsmen went to Jos A Banks, and it worked out really well especially since some of them are big and tall, just tall and small lol. My FH is 6'7, two of his groomsmen are 6'4/6'6 and two are under 5'9.

    I also recommend Indochino since they specialise in custom made orders.

    I think my fiance got a Groupon type deal from them, as well which helped the price point. And their clientele range from all sizes.
