   I was just looking at the fatcyclist blog, and his shop, but they only show drawings, not the real items.

   Twin Six stuff is supposed to be really good, so the Fat cyclist stuff should be the same.

   but as I said the site shows only drawings of the items..rather poor ones at that, so I'm a bit dubious

   depends what you are lookign for.. and what they have in stock, I've found plenty in X-large ( err, for a friend doncha know ) and there are a few items up to XXXlarge.

    I found that a diet until I fitted into normal available sizes helped ( a little but not enough)
    I have found that in general Altura's stuff seems to be made and sized for us larger gents. Enduras sizing seems to random but their XXL shorts and three quarter baggies come up very large.

    I've bought 2 of their short sleve jersey's, 1/2 charity 1/2 needing a cycling top and 1/2 because I think the blog is excellent. I am 150% into fat cyclist kit. right. anyway..

    Quality is excellent, fit is very tight. I am a fat bloke, XXXL stuff fits, but is tight.

    Go for it, great cause, nice kit, good blog. What's too loose?

    Quality is excellent

    Agree, although I have only had casual stuff from them. XXXL in the T-shirts seems to come up as per their sizing chart

    I've bought a load of twin 6 stuff in the past (mostly t-shirts) and the quality is excellent.

    The reason all the Fat Cyclist stuff is hand drawn is that it sells out so quickly once it hits production that it's usually available on pre-order only. Check out his blog.

    excellent, but the sizing comes up on the small side, i am 5'10 and 13 stone and the large is tight, almost to the point that my wife wont let me out in it, but if I can loose half a stone it will be just fine ......

    I've got a Fat Cyclist short sleeved top and socks.

    Qualitys good but not brilliant.

    Here's the shirt and socks riding down a log.

    

    And down a rock.
