Sorry I was just giving him my honest advice for his own good. I would feel bad if I didnt warn him about the consequences of his diet.

I'm sorry if I offended him or anybody. xxxx

There is a store in Athy in Co.Kildare called XXL Plus. Just off the main st, turn in beside the Castle Inn pub.

Might a bit far to travel (50miles) but if you have had no luck in Dublin it might help!:D

have you tried tk maxx in blanch, you might be able to patch together a suit pretty cheap...check out the shoes as well, some nice ones for a suit for about €30

and xxxl isn't that big, a lot of these european stores in the shopping centers have mickey mouse sizes, only fit for little spanish fellas..

There is a shop called Mr XLs in The Castle Shopping Centre in Swords that sells a very large range of mens clothes, I think their sizes go up to 8XL, Suits, t-shirts, geans, everything that you want.

Plus and Minors on Thomas Street do bigger sizes, I go in a lot to get my dad stuff. They have a wide enough range and pretty decent suits AFAIK. They don't look like they're for old men either, just classic suits.

xxxl is not that big tbh, it depends a lot on height and build and presuming things is just rude. Good luck OP!
