Racerbear02 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Don't you just love political correctness? I'm not a fat b*****d any more, I have a 'fuller figure' Anyway that not withstanding, I have been invited to be the witness at the wedding of some friends in Avignon and I need a new 'posh frock' as apart from anything else I need to show that we Franglais are perfectly capable of being as stylish as the native Francais.In the UK there is a chain of shops for us men of 'ample proportions' (pc again) called High and Mighty, does anyone know if there are similar outlets here in France? I need a french size 64 jacket which is above what is in stock in any of the local shops.Can't afford to have a suit tailored so would appreciate any assistanceThanksGraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I was told by a shop assistant in the other day that I needed the larger size because I am broad shouldered Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Probably not in your area but our neighbours have a large store/factory outlet for the fuller figures, (two pints of Fullers and you grow). On the Creuse/Indre border 23/36 on the main road from Boussac to Ste Severe. They are very popular and attract custom from over a very wide area.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 There is a woman's clothes shop in Carentan (50) that only sells larger sizes, both height and width. It it situated at one end of the large market square, sorry don't know the name.Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
