It’s official, Chubstr is now based in Portland. I’ve been here for a few weeks, getting settled in, and I’ve got to say, the people I’ve met so far have been awesome. A city full of friendly people, really good food, great music, and a passion for style and technology? Sounds perfect to me. In addition to all of those great things, there’s a vibrant fat acceptance community here. In fact, we’ve covered Pudge PDX, Chubby Cartwheels, and Fat Fancy, all Portland based, right here on the site.

As always, we’re still representing big men’s style around the country (and the world, when possible) with Matthew in Boston, Fish in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Tyler in Los Angeles, so coverage won’t change. If anything, you’re going to see more articles, features, and even a few real world events.

We’ve got big plans, and some new things to share with you really soon. Are you in the #PDX area? We’d love tips on the best places to shop, eat, and hang out. Send us a message with your suggestions, or hit us up on social media.
