3XL Golf Gear

[Ista]

Merry Christmas everyone.

Being a new member to the forum & after doing some searches I am keen to kick off my first post by asking where any of the 'larger' golfers on here shop for gear.

I'm 6'4 & 19 stone & really struggle to buy anything decent & whilst I fully realise this post leaves me potentially open to ridicule its Christmas Eve & I've had a few & I can't be the only person playing who ends up buying what fits rather than what I want to buy.

I've got a Nike XXL storm fit set of waterproofs however the Nike & Calloway T-shirts in XXL aren't quite big enough and everything else is just LOL aside from Ashworth XXXL which I can on order from my local pro shop albeit at top price.

I went to Orlando last year & bought some three 3XL Ashworth Tshirts from a golf store - wished I'd bought everything they had in my size now considering how difficult it is to buy branded gear in the UK.

Shoes are no problem ( size 12) but buying decent branded clothing is a frustrating process as it's very difficult to obtain.

Does anyone similar experiences or have any shopping lines they use that would help ?

Thanks

Ping seems to go quite large

It can be difficult to get the right fit without trying things on . My shirt size can vary from large to xx large depending on cut and the make.

I don't know any particular sites, but jacamo may be one.

I've got a cutter and buck windsheeter in a very big size, if you wanted to give that a try on sale or return (£40). It's just hanging up in the wardrobe, but can bring it to a meet, if your about.

Welcome, and where do you play?

Hello and welcome aboard. Get stuck In and enjoy.

As regards the query on clothing galvin green do bigger sizes but it's expensive and mostly mail order on the bigger sizes.

Welcome aboard. You're absolutely right, you're not. I'm of similar dimensions and have similar issues, and Nike would have been my first suggestion. My Glenmuir & Oscar Jacobsen roll necks come up fairly large, alternatively some Greg Norman stuff comes up on the large side. If you do find anything suitable that doesn't get a mention on the post, let me know please. Merry Christmas.

M&M direct have some Ping stuff in 3XL at very reasonalble prices

Keep an eye out for zero restriction gear, its a US brand and comes up absolutely huge maybe 2 sizes bigger than labelled

Thanks for the quick responses. Actually Ping is a good call as I bought a few 4XL tshirts from a mail order site a couple of years ago & they were fine. I'll revisit that one. I'm really looking for some new waterproofs - as mentioned above Galvin Green do 3XL but I found they were really XXL.
Oh & in response to Liverbirdie I practice at Rainford Golf Driving range ( nr St Helens & a great set up) & play anywhere I can get on at weekends as golf membership just isn't value for money for me even though I'd like to join a club.

I'll probably get nothing, I don't think I've been a good boy this year!

Thanks Blue and have a great one yourself!

Is that the north west national - it has the hardest praccy putting green this side of the Urals.

It's difficult isn't it because some stuff is "athletic fit" others tailored and some are loose

I can't wear oakley shirts because the XL is too tight but the XXL is like a tent they could do with a medium xl :rofl:

I often find stuff isn't long enough too

I find Nike to be decently cut and they probably go to bigger sizes (definitely in the US but seems limited here)

Under armour are another one that go massive in the states but not so much here

Try Debenhams golf range, they tend to cater for the lard arses amongst us!

Biggest issue I find is having product in my size - extra humongous - to try on..
Nobody keeps the size in stock so it's a case of buying before you try and sending back if necessary..
