I could not find any slack above a 44, I needed 46. They seem too prefer smaller sized individuals.
In the same boat. The world only retails clothes for tall, bony swingers.
The Brooks Brothers of old would have had them. Not anymore. Brooks Brothers was sold twice in the late 80s and have deteriorated from the superb men's clothier they once were. Very sad. They used to stand for tradition and quality, and they've become one more high end marketing based box store. I have some classic Brooks Brothers button-down shirts from the late 70s and early 80s, and the quality and style of their new offerings pale in comparison.
Sorry for the rant. Anyway, if you want larger sizes, Dillard's has the best big & tall section I've seen.

I've been a Brooks' customer for over 50 years (purchased my 1st suit there with my grandfather in 1964 at age 13). I've shopped mostly at their flagship store on Madison Avenue here in New York, although in recent years, also online. There have certainly been significant changes over the years, which have accelerated as they've attempted to broaden their customer base. When I first bought suits or blazers, there was one fit and it was their traditional "sack" profile. This went for the shirts as well. Now they offer many fitments across the various garments, which is a good thing, as tastes and shapes vary widely. I usually try to buy when they have a sale, but at my age there is precious little I need. When thinking about quality, it's important to recognize they are catering to a spectrum of customers at varying price points. Just looking now, if you want a plain white button down shirt, they are available from ~$70 to $185 (full retail) and from my experience, there is a material qualitative difference between these levels. I haven't been disappointed with their better shirts. Suits (not including the made to measure) currently run between $500 to $2,500, with their $1,200 suit the mainstay. This is likely too high a price-point for most shoppers but on an inflation adjusted basis, a bit cheaper than 40 years ago. Again, it's always better to wait for the sales. As for the $2,500 suit, there are many made to measure options at or well below that price. While they've closed their NYC store, for those interested in the classic fit and look of the Brooks Brothers of old, J. Press out of New Haven (with satellite stores in Cambridge & DC) is an excellent choice.
I've never purchased from them, so I figured To buy a pair of slacks.
They apparently don't sell slacks in a larger size. I'm a little on the pudgy side. But a reputable place should carry all size's yes? they don't want my business it seems. Too bad.
