That s where David Schecter can help. Tall Men s Shop, tucked in between the big Barnes and Noble bookstore and the new Grand China buffet restaurant. Small store, big clothes Blink twice in this busy parking lot and not only might you miss the Big n Tall store, you could be hit by an indecisive driver. But El Paso s oversize men have been able to find everything from pajamas and robes to dress clothes and golfing outfits, to 74-inch jeans in his store. The Big n Tall population is probably only one or two percent, but people are growing more, or losing weight.
People don t dress up as they used to.
Ten to 12 years ago, men wore a coat and tie when they went to church, when they worked Downtown, Schecter says. Independent stores, no chains, and little selection. Pretty much all you could find were plaid or striped shirts, no style. Tall, you still want to look like everybody else, he says. Schecter says his specialty store sells designer label merchandise such as Tommy Hilfiger and Polo.
