If you’re looking for the best prices on casual clothing for big and tall men, King Size catalog is a great place to begin your search.
The catalogs are very detailed and thorough, covering the breadth of King Size’s selection. It has everything from foot wear to dress wear to sports coats to swim wear, all categorized in the catalog and with prices and sizes posted beside each item. And each item of clothing is displayed in a real photograph of every available color, giving customers an accurate look at the color of every item-making sure there aren’t any “this looks more like a teal color than forest green!” surprises when your clothing is delivered.
It has a great selection of clothing items. For example, taking only the casual shirts category, it offers polos, golf shirts, Henleys, button-front shirts, sweaters, sport shirts, t-shirts, and many others. It also sells dress shirts, dress pants, sport coats, casual pants, swimming trunks, sports apparel, outer wear, ties, fleece, shoes, jeans, cargo pants, elastic-waist pants/jeans, and almost any other clothing item you can think of.
And with all these items comes options for an assortment of colors, sizes, and most any length to fits everyone’s needs. For most pants and jeans, waist sizes range from 44 to 60, with length up to 38. For most shirts, sizes range from XL to 6XL, with some shirts up to 9XL. Pants that need custom hemming will cost an extra $4.99. With such range in sizes of pants and shirts, there’s bound to be something in the King Size catalog that looks good and fits well for every big and/or tall man.
The patterns and colors of their shirts are very unique and classic, without tacky polka-dot patterns or horizontal yellow and orange stripes. Lots of solid colors and textured patterns make the clothing line somewhat conservative, but still very appealing to the average consumer. The pants, too, are very basic and classically stylish,
The best part of King Size is its prices, which are rock-bottom on nearly every item. Polo shirts from $19.99, dress shirts from $21.00, ties from $12.00, and long-sleeved active wear tops from $16.99 make King Size the place to look if you’re shopping on a budget. And with constant clearance and overstock sales, prices can sometimes seem too good to be true.
But the great price leaves a major drawback: quality. Instead of selling name brand clothing like other major clothing retailers, most of what King Size offers is its own brand of manufactured clothing. The price is cheaper, but the quality isn’t always as high. Threads fray quickly and stick out of shirts, and the clothing fades relatively quickly as compared to name brand items.
Active wear and t-shirts for use around the house, for me at least, don’t need to be high-quality–they just need to be comfortable and fit properly. And for those items I go for the best price I can find. But for dress shirts or slacks, I usually take my business to JC Penney or Casual Male. It’s not as cheap, but the material looks better and lasts longer, and I’m more satisfied in the long-run.
Another drawback with King Size is that they don’t offer stores to shop from-everything’s done by mail. So unless you know your size before ordering, it will be tough to get the clothing that’s just right for you. However, they do provide a sizing chart in each of their catalogs as well as online, so they make an effort to help you find your exact size before ordering.
Shipping costs depend on the size of your order, starting at $5.99 for order $19.00 or less. Standard delivery usually takes 4-7 business days. Express and rush delivery options are available. You can also track your delivery online after you order, so you can check on the status of your package and know exactly where it is located at any given time.
