5' 11" 320lbs Need Help

Bellator · Mar 6, 2007

I just landed a television show and had to start coming down from my bulk. Got up to 330 because I just landed a television show. I have to provide my own wardrobe. Expect to be around 300lbs.

I've already searched through the forum and have gotten great tips for clothes but a lot of these suggestions still don't fit and/or aren't "trendy" enough for television.

I just got in a bunch of stuff from Hot Bodz but the long sleeves are tight around my upper arms.

I see guys in professional wrestling, like Batista wearing amazing suits. Where do they get these. And if I need to go custom, can anyone suugest a good person.

Any help would be appreciated.

I can understand what you are saying. YOU ARE A MONSTER !!

I think you will have to get somthing tailor made. Dennis James wares some pretty cool suites. Drop him a email to see were the Pros get there suites made.

There are suit shops that deal with Athletic fits...call around and im sure you can be directed to one...Obviously you arent your average athletic fits..but if they can fit lineman they can prolly find something for you...Now im gonna be nosey and ask what is the TV thing?? Or you playing Bob Sapp in a movie or something????!!!!HUGE MAN..

You can get away with spending $1200 per with Tom James. If you want to go all out you can get to over 15k however.

Man you are HUGE? What TV show will you be on and what type of part are you playing? Best of luck!

I sure as heck can't even imagine spending that kind of money on a suit. I'm just one of those people who doesn't like spending money on clothing though. Even if I had the money just kicking around, I would have a hard time justifying it.

hey bro , if u know any chinese or thai guy then they could know someone who can make suits for a few $$$

I remember in Thailand the tailor rocks and don't take a lot $$$ to make u a suit, same for chinese and a lot of this guys do it as a business in foreign countries

maybe it can help

Id say around 3k 4k a suit average, but like someone said they have suits for $1200 that look awesome.

Heres one of mine TJ suits , fits like a glove.

Good cut, but the sleeves are too long.

Thanks for your help. Money isn't much of an object as long as it's good quality and fits. And Vander, thanks for the tip of getting it a few inches bigger. I talk to TJ's and they are sending someone out to fit me for a suit and a few shirts and pants.

Also thanks for the "huge" compliment. I'm so dismorphic, I walk around feeling like a 150 pounder. I've been scared to do a competition but I need to just do it.

Here's the link of the trailer. My Stage name is Dante.
