I put on some weight over the Covid fiasco and my trousers don't fit. Shame as they were really well made. Found the original seller and bought the next size up. f**k me, the knees were where my shins are and the fit was atrocious. Avoid this lot. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152008331982?var=451233035154So can anyone suggest a seller that makes trousers that actually fit? Alex |

Depends are we talking fat b*****d or yep real fat b*****d? Seriously most off the peg as long as you are honest.

Made to measure are pricey but they will at least fit.
I got mine made by Scott Leathers in Barnard Castle (next to spec savers 😂)
As Veg says get a pair of the peg. Find a retailer with a big stock from all the big names ad you will get something to fit and a bit cheaper too.

Bike show season will be starting soon. The first Stafford show is in April, and most of the big shows have plenty of clothing stands, so lots of choice all under one roof   |

Alex, you could try 'Infinity' in Farnborough or 'Helmet City' both have quite a range of gear.

If you’ve got a www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/ near you give them a look. I’ve used them and found them really good. You can order sizes to store as well if you do it online. |

I’d plus one for Sportsbikeshop. Wide range of different brands and you can order it to the store to try before you buy.
I wanted a pair of Hood jeans as a they came out top in a load of tests. They’re really well specced and made and their customer service is brilliant. Problem is they just don’t fit me.
Different stuff fits different people I guess - Shoei lids fit me brilliant, Arai don’t, and don’t get me started with cycling gear - poshboy italian gear and I’m XXXL, British stuff I’m an L.

I got hood jeans i sent them back for alterations it was no problem and no cost to me , but they are just too heavy with the armour fitted they look good though |
