Walter Van Beirendonck

Walter's one of the few bears/big dudes who are actually making fashion for his fellow bear/big guy. Some of his pieces are pretty explosively day-glo, some are more avant garde and made for the runway. However, most of his pieces can be worn as a statement piece, mixed and matched with other items that are more subtle. However, in this video I see full 'fits that can be worn as a complete look! Definitely worth checking out guys

hey guys, sorry i've abandoned you! I'm back for a bit, and hopefully next week I will get into some of the things I promised earlier, as well as new trend reports on shorts, ties, and t-shirts.

For now, feast your eyes on drjays.com ! They have a great big and tall section and in general feature larger sizes up to 6x, and not just like, a boring polo your grand dad would wear, but fashionable and stylish gear from companies like Mecca, Ecko, Enyce, Blac Label, Konvict and others. Yes, these are largely hip hop styles, but fashion is so incestuous these days that most companies are releasing similar items across the board. For instance, the checked gingham shirt, first popularized by the Mod/Skinhead movement of the late 60s in England, is now a staple in the fashion-diet of every subculture. And although it's not Ben Sherman or Fred Perry, Enyce's is fine substitute since the other companies (unfairly?) don't offer 'em in your size.

So go to DR Jay's and check it out!
