It was such a good idea -- a collection of clothes for the big and tall (which usually means "tall and fat, but mostly fat") that actually looked decent, rather than the usual drapes and burquas that pass as garments for the normally challenged. And Colossal Clothing was that good idea, at least in the beginning, when the economy was robust (along with the waistlines of the average American).
But as their parent company American Apparel saw their fortunes turn to dust, so too did Colossal Clothing, but without the sexual harassment angle. Without another collection, the first CC collection (while solid) lost sales momentum, and so too did the company. Now, as they approach the end, they're in fire sale mode, so if you're looking for good basic clothing for the taller and/or bigger gent, get what you can while you can.
But be sure do to two things: [1] put FIFTY in the discount/coupon area of the billing page to get 50% off & [2] tell 'em I sent you.
