Behind the Scenes: Buyer Brad Skinner’s Global Style Search for the Holiday Season

When it comes to curation for Big & Tall London’s Menswear, finding the right mix of comfort, quality, and sharp design isn't something done from behind a desk. It takes dedication, an eye for detail, and a commitment to ensuring extended-size frames never have to compromise on style.

This past year, Brad Skinner, lead buyer for Big & Tall London’s Menswear, set out on a global sourcing journey to curate an exclusive collection designed specifically for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season.

Curating Fit, Fabric, and Function

From trade shows to showroom consultations, Brad’s goal was clear: bring back pieces that deliver tailored silhouettes, premium feel, and versatile styling options for tall and big frames alike.

"Finding great clothing for Big & Tall men isn't just about scaling up sizes," says Brad. "It’s about proportion, stretch, durability, and modern styling. Every piece brought into our Wharncliffe Road showroom was hand-selected with our Southwestern Ontario community in mind."

What’s New for the Holiday Lineup

This holiday season, customers will discover a fresh wave of premium style options:

• Sophisticated Layering: From soft 1/4-zip pullovers to structured leather and field jackets designed to sit clean over broader shoulders without pulling.

• Versatile Casualwear: Elevated hoodies, rich knitted sweaters, and modern untucked button-downs perfect for holiday family gatherings or weekend downtime.

• Refined Tailored & Smart-Casual Pants: Premium stretch denim, tailored trousers, and everyday chinos that offer flexible waist construction without sacrificing sleek styling.

• Hard-to-Find Footwear & Accessories: Wide-fit dress and casual shoes, rich leather belts, and cozy winter essentials that complete every look.
