Hope it's OK to ask in here. I usually wear casual polo/rugby shirts and
my daughter has bought me a couple branded "1994", an M&S brand no longer made.

Anybody here who dresses casual and can recommend a manufacturer, I am
XXXXL due to eating too many biscuits!

Many thanks :-)

I too buy uneek uc102 polo shirts.
They are modestly priced, well made and last for many years without
showing their age (unlike the wearer).

My main retailers are Big Men Online, Georges, and John Banks.

All have a wide variety of brands. Not generally cheap but good quality
and last well.

Would I need to sew-on a pocket ?
I've been using my shirt-pocket for essential items
for 50 ish years .. currently sunglasses clip-on
and always my Parker click pen fine black ..

.. as an aside - I found a pen in a snowbank ~ 1978 ish
and it lasted me about 12 years - so I looked for a
replacement - I think it was a Thrift Store find < ? >
.. but it lasted about 10 years ..
.. so naturally I started to hoard them ... as one would ..
Now one-of-four-or-five help me complete the
crossword and sudoko with smooth fine black ink.
Parker accept no substitutes .. not really - but -
a nice ball-point is a wonderful thing ..

Not sure you can buy Uneek clothing in Canada - but on the off chance I
am wrong, there may be items in their catalogue which have a breast pocket.

Doesn't help you much but anyone closer to Wigan might like to know that
the Hope charity shop has a large stock of ex-M&S shirts in large sizes,
3XL and 4XL. Formal shirts up to 20" collar.

Primark used to stock up to 3XL but may be expanding their range.
