The eternal problem of the plus size man: finding clothes that fit in a style you’d actually want to wear in public. Sure, it’s easy to find something to cover your body with, but what do you do when you want to wear something that looks good? Easy. You shop new Australian menswear brand, Gulliva.
Shop a variety of casual shirts by Gulliva from 2XL – 6XL in the Chubstr Shop
Gulliva specializes in modern clothing in sizes 2XL – 6XL for shirts and tops, and 40 to 48 in bottoms, size ranges that normally don’t get much focus. Their mission is to offer stylish options in the sizes that bigger men are looking for. This doesn’t mean skimping on quality, however. You’ll notice a focus on details, finishes, and quality of fabric. Gulliva is taking their customer seriously, which isn’t always the case when it comes to big men’s clothing.
Founders Natasha McDonough and Kevin Blackburn understand the pain points of the average man of size – they started the brand due to the frustration that came with trying to find clothes that would fit Kevin, who was a 2XL. After coming up empty-handed, they decided to take Natasha’s experience working in product development and buying for brands like Gap, and Kevin’s brand design expertise to create something big guys would be proud to wear.
Gulliva offers jeans & chinos in sizes 40 – 48. Get them in the Chubstr Shop.
Understanding that most guys our sizes don’t have a “go-to” shop, Natasha and Kevin set out to create just that – a brand that offers customers everything they want in the styles and sizes they need. You’ll find a variety of shirts, hoodies, jackets, shorts, pants, and jeans at Gulliva, in modern styles reminiscent of what you’re used to seeing in mainstream shops. The difference? The clothes at Gulliva are actually made to fit YOUR body!
Lo and behold, a brand offering clothes that fit! You might be asking yourself what the catch is. Do I need to take out a loan to finance a new look? Gulliva has that covered as well. Their clothes range from around $35 for tees, to $165 USD for jackets and blazers. Not a bad price range for clothes you’ll be wearing for quite a while.
The Unstructured Canvas Blazer in Black or Slate from 2XL -6XL
If you’re like most big men, you’re used to taking whatever you can get when it comes to style. Gulliva has created a line that features modern, contemporary clothing that looks new and relevant. From patterned tees and chambray button downs, to jackets, blazers, and chinos that are made with bigger legs in mind, Natasha and Kevin have figured out how to create clothing that looks great on you without strangling you like a sausage.
The Mr. Poplin Utility Shirt in Slate. Sizes 2XL – 6XL $83
I’m partial to the Mr Poplin Button-down Shirt in slate, the Chino Twill Pant in midnight, and the Mr. Knit Waffle in Navy. The interesting thing about Gulliva is that I can actually see myself in anything they offer, which just doesn’t happen. It’s a brand that makes clothes you’re instantly comfortable wearing, but that doesn’t feel bland and safe.
