KingSizeDirect

KingSizeDirect is a men’s big and tall online and catalog retailer. KingSize was founded in Boston in 1950 as a specialty retailer in men’s extra-sized footwear, and in 1995 was acquired by Redcats USA, a direct mailer of special-size clothing catalogs and subsidy of PPR.[1] The catalog expanded to include clothing for men who are 6’2” or over and/or weigh at least 225 lbs.

KingSize offers a selection of men’s clothing which covers dress wear, underwear, sportswear, hunting/outerwear, shoes and belts. Neck sizes are 26 ½”, sleeve lengths to 40” and waists to 80”. Tall sizes are L to 7XL and big sizes are XL to 10XL. Shoe sizes are provided to size 18.[2] KingSize sells their own brands such as Boulder Creek and Kings' Court, in addition to name brands such as Levi’s, Wrangler, Russell Athletics, Jockey, and New Balance.[3]

Headquarters are in New York, with additional locations in Indianapolis, El Paso, Wichita, and New Jersey.

KingSize is a part of OneStopPlus.com, the only online fashion mall specifically for plus sizes. KingSize is the only men's brand featured on this website, alongside of Redcats' female plus-size brands Woman Within, Roaman's, Avenue, and Jessica London.[4]

OneStopPlus hosted a plus-size fashion show for New York Fall 2010 Fashion week.[5]
