I'm 6'3, 300 pounds, built like a linebacker. Shaved head. There aren't a lot of clothes that look good on me and actually fit (finding a shirt long enough is hell). I tend to wear jeans and wife beater with an unbuttoned collared shirt in the summer, and flannel in the winter. I also tend to wear the shoes the podiatrist gives me (for now. So long medical insurance after 2025).

I have 100 percent been confused for a skin head on numerous occasions. If I'm leaving Walmart after dark, women will rush to their cars if I have to pass close by. I don't blame them. It sucks, but I'm glad they're acting on their safety over my feelings. But it does still hurt my feelings. :/

I hear you friend. I'm 200 pounds 6' even. I'm bald so I shave my head. On the funny side rarely people thank me for my service, or more often tell me I forgot my military discount.

On the not so fun side it makes it difficult to buy drugs, and I love drugs.

Have you tried Carhartt shirts they tend to have longer lengths of shirts

I would also suggest Duluth trading. It's been my go to for a long time. Similar in quality to Carhartt but has more material options. Their dry on the fly line of stuff is 90% of what I wear.

Same! The extra seam on the shoulder is so comfy, it fits so much better than a standard tee

Their underwear and pants are amazing. I'm wearing them right now. Check it out. Well worth the money

[–] jj122@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yea I have the dry on the fly pants and shorts. I know the undies are supposed to be good but I'm 100% on exofficio.

100%, get the "tall" size

If you're 300 lbs, there's no way you're built like a linebacker. 240 is about max for a linebacker. I'm 6'4 and 220. You're either muscle bound or built like a lineman.

I was a CB but same at 6’1, also been a Niners fan my whole life. Thanks to all the maga shitbags now a white dude in a red cap…not the best look. I feel terrible every time I’m walking through a parking garage and see a woman double time it to her car but I totally understand, it makes me despise conservatives that little bit more.
