Buying large clothing in Mexico

[Bigmerlin]

Having recently moved to Mexico City, I cannot find any large size shoes or clothes to buy for myself.
I am 6¨4´tall, shoe size 11, waist size 42¨ and collar size 18 ... can anyone recommend any shops in Mexico City where large size clothing and shoes are available?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

Ugh, that's a difficult one. Have you tried Liverpool & El Palacio de Hierro? They may carry some larger sizes. Other than that, I don't think there's much else, so you may need to go to a tailor or go shopping/buy online from the USA.

Fortunately, Mexico still has tailors and seamstresses; many of whom can make really fine clothing at very reasonable prices. Start asking around, particularly in the fabric shops, and someone will help you find a good one.

Or, you could look for a Mexican who is around 1.93 m. and ask him where he buys his clothes. Size 11 shoes should be easy to find although, I believe that 10 1/2 is the largest I've seen. Size 11 is about a 29 in Mexican size.

Not sure whereabouts are you but there is a tailor at Colonia Cuauhtemoc, it's on Rio Lerma street, somewhere between Rio Guadalquivir and Rio Tiber, I had a couple of garments done with them a few years ago and they are good at least with female clothing but also had male customers so I guess they're fine. Sorry can't give you the name of the place or the phone number but you should be able to find it, Rio Lerma is not too long

Take some clothes that fit the way you like when you go to the tailor. They can duplicate them for you.
