Mens' underwear - plus size

[Inderpland]

I'm a large size foreigner and I'm having a hard time getting hold of underwear (preferably boxer shorts) that fit me. What I need is 2XL (farang 2XL, not Thai) underwear and I haven't been able to find it.

Are there shops where I might be able to get this?

For large size clothes of any kind, try Lazada.

Search fat men underwear or obese men underwear, etc.

The goods are generally coming from China but get shipped fast enough.

Do some research though. Chinese 2XL is what we would call a medium.

Thai underwear is like the QE2; no ballroom.

Totally ignore the size labels!

The clothing listings online usually have measurement tables.

Match the measurement as best you can.

If you want 10, order 1 first and test for size.

Yeah, compare UK or US tables. 

 

I have a Rosso factory near me. Perhaps they'll fit me for some bespoke underrods. 🙂

Have you tried BIG C Extra? They stock 2XL men's underwear. I purchased Rosso briefs in Chiang Mai but not sure about the availability of boxer shorts.

I agree that's a good suggestion. But for larger sizes than they have (their largest isn't that large) go online.

hanes will ship from usa

Possibly Decathlon, they have 2XL, shows the size in inches on the label, it's a tight fit though as opposed to loose fit

Uniqlo do your size.

Bite the bullet, Amazon. 

 

When I was working, we'd order 500 tee-shirts now and then for the crew. We ordered some 2X & 3X a few times, but they were always the same size as the XL, just with different tags. And they're all too short anyways.

Marks & Spencer in Central. It is a Brit shop, not cheap but quality.

[Inderpland]

I have learned that whatever the label says means very little here in Thailand. Found some briefs that had 5XL labels attached and that would be an ordinary XL in Europe.

I buy underwear in the US online and have friends bring it to me when the come on vacation.

I do the same, but have them shipped to my friends house first. He opens the package and takes out any receipts or indications of price. Repackages and writes "used" on the customs label.

No customs fees. ..I think the fees are about 10%???

I'm the same mate.

 

It's very hard to find underwear that can adequately conceal my junk out here.

 

I'm literally bursting at the seams!

A quick rub with a Hershy bar can be pretty convincing as well. 

 

Actually, because textile production is pretty big (albeit shrinking) sector in Thailand, duties are pretty high. 

 

When I was working, our plant in Thailand got a container a month from the California plant so I could get most anything shipped here free. One of the only things I miss about working.

hope not by wearing them

[ignis]

My size boxers and shorts  is 2 or 3 XL > but here must go 5 or 6 XL

 

For years always buy from Lazada, as there are many Big or Plus sizes

 

Agree with Jingthing buy 1 only to start to see if they fit 

As for there size charts, think it is bit hit and miss ? or they just copy from another advert

 

Years ago there was a XL Outfitters in Central, they were good and a good price [think most of the stuff came from the USA = maybe were rejects in there home market as often there were  flaws]

Only if your driving......

[Gottfrid]

Central will have shops that offer even bigger sizes, as well as Terminal 21. Have also seen in both Lotus´s and Big C on different occasions. So, not a problem at all to find big sizes.

Not as good quality as one might expect from M&S, in my experience.

Wont be easy getting them but look at the online shopping like Lazada you may find some there. Alternatively you may want to try exercising to lose the excess.
