Where to buy XL T-shirts?

I usually buy the XL T-shirts from Tesco Lotus or Big C, but I find that there seems to be no consistency to the size, sometimes they fit sometimes they do not. Is there anywhere in Phuket that sells XL farang and not XL Thai.

Found the same problem JohnP - Thai XL is anything from farang medium to XL and very hit and miss.

The shopping plaza - next to Robinson in Phuket City has some XL - XXXL, then of course the genuine brand name T-shirts at Central.

If your looking for good T-shirt production the can recommend AM Silk Screen - by the police check point before the hill into Patong.

Makes you relly feel fat when you have to buy a shirt that is XXXXL.

The 2XL's in the new market down by Holiday in are actually a pretty good Euro large or even XL..

I am a Large to XL (US large).. Thailand sometimes XXL is no where near big enough..

They also shrink when hot washed but at 150 baht a shirt max you can afford to keep buying more !!!

If you bay the brand Nautica T shirts they are big as
US or EU zize or even bigger.
Goes up to XXL.
I normaly use XXL but in Nautica XL is big enough.
They have this brand in the most shopping centras
Not very low-priced(1000 B) but good quality

I bought around 10 XL shirts from various shops in Patong my last visit to LOS. All fit very well, most were a little too big. Sometimes, the shopgirl would say "Have big shirt for you" and would run off into a back room to get them. Or, I would ask to make sure they would fit my beer belly.

if you buy off the beach road or any stall just ask to see the shirt and hold it up against yourself.

Simple really.
