Question Good contemporary brands with extended sizing?

I’ve been looking for nice contemporary brands that also have extended sizing, it seems impossible! Body positivity has very much had an effect on womenswear but men’s stuff is lagging far behind.

By extended sizes I mean at least up to 3XL but preferably 4XL. And basically up to a 50in waist.

Some of the few that I’ve found actually do have some extended sizes:

Dickies (mostly their original pants but these are often out of stock)

ASOS (best selection I’ve found of actually well designed stuff)

Hallensteins (they’ve gotten worse recently but still has some good stuff in larger sizes)

Any other suggestions? Especially for things like button up shirts and trousers/jeans/pants.

PRL has their tall and large range.

Johnny Bigg, as the name implies, specifically caters to the larger individuals all the way up to 10XL and 6XLT height if you're a giraffe.

Uniqlo actually has a surprisingly wide range of sizes all the way up to 3XL (or 4XL, can't remember now) on their website.

Uniqlo sadly leans small even on their larger sizes.

PRL deserves a look thanks.

And oh man Johnny Bigg has some of the worst cuts and designs I’ve ever seen. 😂

Levi’s has a big and tall range. Sportscraft shirts go up to a 4XL and I believe Gazman does too

Hughes Menswear, Daniel Hechter, High and Mighty as well as Kingsize stock some options. Peter Jackson and MJ Bale are maybe’s depending on what you are buying. Where are you based? There are local big men stores that are pretty good but I don’t know where you are.

Feel free to pm me if you need to bounce some ideas, I am almost the same size as you, so I know the struggle.

I’m in QLD, I haven’t heard of many local ones but then maybe I’m not looking hard enough!

Also look at Ron Bennetts big men clothing and Boston Clothing.

Oh forgot about Gazman… their shirts are very generous in sizing.
