Are you really tall? 6'8"plus? Size 15 feet...?
Discussion
If so, where do you buy your clothes and shoes?
Need some ideas, google searches show a few online retailers but need to go somewhere where you can actually shop for clothing and try stuff on etc....
Most high street shops dont selling clothing for people above 6'4", size 13 feet.
Any suggestions...?

Just Jacamo isn't it that site?yeah that's the issue, websites are all very well but would actually like to visit shops that sell larger sizes.
Or do todays very lanky youth only ever shop online?

M&S have a limited range too, more on thier website but you can collect and try in store.
Just tried one of their suits (6'6" here) and the jacket was a fantastic fit, however the trousers were not built with the larger thighed gentleman in mind so it all had to go back. I think they would be OK if you were tall and thin rather than tall and powerfully built.Most of the high and mighty suits seemed to be pretty low quality to me.
Ede and Ravenscroft, who have stores in London, Cambridge and probably some other places, recently sourced me a suit that fits really well, in fact literally as I typed their name my 'phone rang and it was them saying it was ready to collect so they are perhaps PHers as well.....

Excellent thanks Gents. With that website just looking like a rebranded Jacamo I didn't look at a store guide.
BigBen, also, cheers.
So the clothing is for future son-in-law. He's emigrating here from Aus, where he mostly only wears shorts and tea shirts (from the Kimberly, its never below 30degs C ...)
He's going to need winter clothing and shoes. And smart stuff for work....

If he's into deigner lables then shopping online opens up US options.

I used to go to High & Mighty (glasgow store) but the clothes were cheap tat with a crazy price tag on them. 50p t shirt in a nrmal size but £95 because it was slightly bigger.
I am usually a 14 in shoes but 15 in most trainers. I have long but narrow feet.
I am 6 foot 6 and a bit, 6 7 ish if I get a good stretch.
Trainers I can get at Greaves as hey get size 16 in some ranges in store.
I struggle to get socks though.
Motorbike boots only online, walking boots I'm usually a 16 and again online. Actual dress shoes, I have a pair somewhere but they cost a ridiculous amount of money. So I wear trainers mostly.
As for clothes Slaters is where I get my jeans, they are on of the few that do 36 inside leg. Gap used to but, well its Gap.
T shirts and jackets are a problem. I just wear T shirts these days as I can get them easy enough with the yoof wanting dresses so length isn't an issue really. And I'm self employed so I wear what I like.
As for real going out clothes I don't actually have any. To hard to get and too much money.

I'm thinking that once he gets to the UK, another flight to the US to make a trip to an outlet mall with an empty suitcase might not be a bad idea.http://rochester-big-and-tall.destinationxl.com/me...

Its a bit ridiculous isn't it....? I know there are loads of kids growing up to be 6'4" plus these days - yet most UK shops don't have clothing to fit. I am usually a 14 in shoes but 15 in most trainers. I have long but narrow feet.

As you say, smart clothing is impossible to find - and if you do its dead expensive. Hiking boots seem to be the only things readily available....
Poor lad, he's still growing too.

EXACTLY my experience. Can't help other than shopping around. I have a few places in town that are good, but I am in London so have perhaps more pick than some.
M&S can be OK. House of Fraser chain can be pretty good. Fortnums are excellent (and very, very helpful) but you do come out feeling a bit lighter in the wallet ....
Not quite as tall, but I get most of my clothes from Tesco (yeah not very PH I know), M&S have been good for jeans as well.
Shoe wise it's a bit hit and miss. Most of mine have come from Sports Direct (vans, DC etc), seem to have a large select of 14/15s.
Also Brantanio or however it's spelt. That's a bit hit and miss though and the quality isn't brilliant. Although I managed to pick up a pair of clarks from there.

That is a really useful link. Thank youhttp://rochester-big-and-tall.destinationxl.com/me...
I'm 6'8" and also get a few things form slater's in Glasgow. It is the only place I can go and try trousers/jeans on without ordering online. Only problem is that it is completely hit and miss and they don't always have something in the right size.
Levi's do up to 36" inside leg but are still too short for me! Superdry t shirts, jumpers and jackets seem to be a decent bit longer than normal and are slim fitting. Unfortunately you struggle to find anything with minimal branding.
