We always love to hear from our female readers (because it proves we're not crazy, we really do have them!) so I'll let this one do the talking.
Hello, Chubarama lovelies!
I'm a longtime female fan of your website--my #1 resource for gratuitous chub goodness. I love checking in everyday and doing my fair share of ogling.
I've finally found myself a kind, sexy, funny fat guy of my own. I couldn't be happier... but now I've realized how hard it is to shop for Big Boyfriend. I remember a Chubarama post about this awhile ago, but those websites don't seem to have what I'm looking for. What I need is a store with accessories for men, namely belts, in cool styles and big sizes. All I can find above a 42 are what I would qualify as "old man" belts... (Of course, I don't mind shopping online)
Maybe your staff or readers know of someplace I can purchase a cool belt for Big Boyfriend. After all, his pants need to be up at least some of the time...
Much thanks and love,
Big Boyfriend's Girlfriend
We need suggestions, readers! The belt and accesories idea is a good one but it's been a while since we talked about clothiers in general so if you do have a suggestion about where YOU shop for big clothes leave a comment on this post, or hit us up on Twitter, Myspace, Facebook etc. If we get enough good ideas we'll compile them in a future post.

My BHM gets his belts at Boscov's or Macy's. Not sure, though, what you consider "old man" belts. His are either black or brown, suitable for business casual work.

I don't know about belts but for clothes in general Old Navy has big clothes in the online part of the store. Unfortunately they don't do that in the walk-in stores though

I was in the Rochester Big & Tall store off Michigan Avenue in Chicago this week, and they had two belt sections. One was for traditional (conservative) brown and black belts. Then, in the 'fashion' section, they had another twenty or so styles that might be what your looking for. Funky full-color graphic print ones, punky metal studded ones, and a few with big flashy buckles. all in big, big sizes. But note that their Web site does not show these belts, or the surprisingly-contemporary clothes that I saw in-store.
