How about when you order a fast food meal in the drive-through line and when you pick it up at the window it comes out in a family size bag.
I was in a fast food place the other day. The cashier pulled out a bag to put my food in and then realised that she'd need a bigger one. So much fun!

MsSquish:largeladclothing.com/Try there if you haven't already. They are Canadian and have great quality. I wanted a bigger hoodie for myself that zipped, and I could not find one I wanted in the women's clothing stores. Got one from these guys and I love it. Also depending on what you are looking for, Amazon.ca has some bigger shirts and stuff too.
Good luck on your search!
This is great! And they have sizes I can wear now...and in the future! Thanks for this!

I’m not sure if you guys have the SAME stores up there but DXL has been great for me. It’s a tad dressy but they got lots of good options. They had my size 52 x 30 which was amazing.
NoMoYoYo:
When I was at my heaviest a couple years ago I went to DXL. I really liked it. They're not in Canada anymore, but I still get emails from them with deals.
I am not quite big enough to fit their clothing. YET. When that time comes, I will probably head back there. Either order online or cross the border to Buffalo. Its about 2 and a half hours away from where I live.
Morbidly A Beast:
As long as you know your size you should be able to order online!
Ordering online from another country is usually quite expensive. Between the exchange rate, shipping costs and duty fees it can be more worth it to take the drive. Either way, I'm still a bit away from shopping there. Probably 30/40lbs away. Though with the way the fat is sitting, it may be sooner.

I've needed to buy some bigger clothes recently. The places I normally go to don't have much that I like. I don't know if its because its between seasons, but I can't find shirts I like.
Where do somewhat fat men shop in Canada? I'm not at the point of big men stores...yet.
MickRidem:
This year I've been hovering around XL being a bit loose or almost tight? XXL here I come? 🤣🐖 I love Mark's. I was just there this weekend getting a "modern fit" tshirt, which are SO MUCH BETTER than classic fit - I'm short so classic fit looks like I borrowed my dad's clothes. 😝 That's my go-to store when I want something nice.
NoMoYoYo:
Hmmm....I think the modern fit ones are what is giving me trouble. haha. There are times where if its snug in the belly, its okay, but I don't always want that. I didn't realize they had different t-shirts...is it the same for all their shirts?
I'll look into it more. I might have time tomorrow.
MickRidem:
Modern fit are more fitted in the arms and chest, and looser in the belly. Classic fit, on me, looks like I'm wearing droopy shoulders and wings past my elbows when I get a big enough size for my fat belly. 😁
I'm not at home right now so I can't check, but these shirts are definitely tightly fitted on my arms and chest, but its also snug in my belly. Maybe I'm just fat and will get to the big boys store sooner than I thought. lol

When I'm feeling extra big and chubby I tend to give my wife stronger hugs.
Not sure its quite the same thing but it feels like I have extra power.

Just wondered what sort of waist sizes you blokes are ?
I have been deliberately gaining for about 4 months now. I was a 33" waist up until I stopped weights/training/strict diet. I measured myself tonight, and I'm 38". So, 5" in 4 months.
I'm starting to feel quite porky, but I guess I'm not exactly fat yet, not compared to some of the amazing belly's I have seen on here !
I was wearing 36" pants in July at 193lbs. Now the 40s are tight at around 215. I was wearing L shirts now I'm XL and some are 2XL. 20+ lbs isn't a lot, but it is when it's gained in 2months. I am getting extra chubby.

I usually go to Mark's myself, but I assume you have already looked them up.
Mark's is my go to! I have gotten a couple polo type shirts from there. I've noticed recently that their t-shirts are diiferent. They feel great, but are cut smaller. The XL is tight so I tried the 2XL. I know this gain is turning me flabbier than I've ever been, but there's no way I should be in 2XL yet. I will be and I will graduate to the big mens store, but I'm not there yet. I'm about 215lbs.
Funny side story about Mark's. A few weeks ago, I tried on an XL polo in their change rooms. It was ridiculously tight. Checked the price tag and the sticker. Yep XL. Weird. Tried on the 2XL and was swimming. It didn't make sense. I checked the first shirt again and the while the tag and sticker was XL, the label printed on the shirt was M. Found an actual XL and its good. I enjoyed explaining the problem to the cashier. She had an embarrassed grin on her face...agreeing that medium wouldn't work.

ForeverFFA:
Sadly, I just remembered that some guys don't feel comfortable asking other men those kinds of questions. In which case, if they have wives/girlfriends, I'm sure they would also know the answer. Just phrase the question as blandly as possible, whomever you talk to.
It could be as simple as, "Hey, where does your man go clothes shopping? He always seems so well-dressed." You don't even have to mention size.
Hmm...I will have to give this a try. Thank you for the suggestion.
I have also asked my wife if she had any thoughts...3 of the 4 she came up with are ones I've looked at. The 4th isn't my favourite, but maybe I have to give in...
