Company details

  1. Plus Size Clothing Store

Information provided by various external sources

At John Banks we understand the shopping limitations for big and tall men and so provide access to a bigger and taller clothing range that mainstream shops typically found on the high street don’t support. That is why we have put together a range of fashionable and modern clothing items for big men. At John Banks we provide a huge range of clothing for the bigger man. This range includes big men's T-shirts, big men's jeans and big men's suits. Tall men's fashion is hard to come by but at John Banks we sell a range of tall men's T-shirts and tall men's jeans. The customer and their requirements are always our primary focus and collating feedback and reviews on existing products is what helps us decide what future products we source in our big men's range.

Top quality customer service

Visited the shop to buy a 3 piece suit and a dress shirt, and was served by Andy. Customer service was absolutely superb. Nothing was too much trouble, and Andy spent the full duration of my visit talking through all the options, and letting me try different sizes to get the perfect option for me. The variety of options was huge, and sizes to fit anyone out, big or tall. Would absolutely advise anyone after a suit to visit the shop, and if you get served by Andy, you'll be in great hands.

I kept seeing the 5 star reviews and thought can it really be that good?
Well being 5 foot 21 inches I have lost count of how many times I buy stuff online only to send it back as either too tight, too small, not long enough or wide enough footwear.
This shop is just over an hours drive, so thought we should go, needed smart clothes for a wedding.
On arrival, we were welcomed by Sue, who was really good, knew the stock and I actually found the 1st pair of trousers were too LONG! and needed a shorter pair.
Also the shirt in extra tall was massive, never experience such quality and very keen prices. Nothing was too much trouble to get the outfit just right. And even added an extra couple of holes in the belt.
Ian, another store member helped out as well with some shoe purchases, again nothing was too much trouble.
Would really recommend a visit, if like me you struggle with clothes.
ps. The store which is family owned has been there since 1964

I visited the store today with my son who needed a suit for an upcoming family wedding. We were instantly made to feel comfortable by staff member Sue. She turned what we were expecting to be a nightmare shopping trip into an enjoyable one and we came away with the perfect suit for my son. She even convinced him to go with a pink tie which really sets the suit off. Her help was very much appreciated, I would highly recommend shopping here.

Stock, service and quality.

John Banks is special. We’ve been going for over 5 years now and as a tall guy the stock, service and quality is second to none. I particularly like the staff who take care to make sure you choose the right things which fit straight away. Particular thanks to Ian for his help in our recent visit.

Been to the shop for a few times and great!!!

Been to the shop for a few visits now to get suits for my wedding there was 4 variation of sizes we needed and nothing was any trouble even when I come to ordering in the team we felt with went above and beyond and made us all feel very welcome and comfortable no judgement on the large size too (myself) I would recommend these to anyone I know such a great experience especially as we had travelled all the way from Bedfordshire but definitely felt worth it I can’t thank you all enough for your great service/communication/support and friendliness. Massive shout out to Andy and sue there was another lady we delt with on other visits to so massive shout to her as-well unfortunately I didn’t catch her name.
Great range of clothing and suits I definitely spent a lot and walked away with a lot thank you again you will be remembered as a massive help and part of our big day to come on the 11 April 26!!!!

Thank you
If I could give a higher rating and recommendation I would I will definitely pop back!!!

A warm welcome into a shop is rare…

A warm welcome into a shop is rare these days, but we were very warmly greeted by staff on arrival. The personal attention that we received also made the shopping experience fast, focussed and easy. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt valued as customers and the quality of the advice and clothing was excellent. I dislike shopping for clothes intensely, but John Banks make it, if not a delight, at least painless, simple and successful. A dying breed of retailer with standards of service not seen elsewhere.

Great experience

I ordered a pair of jeans and it was easy to do on the website.
What made for a great experience was the ease I could return them they were too big

Banks B&T no 1 for x-tall

Banks B&T is the no 1 retailer for extra tall imo. Good range of clothing, some decent bargains in their discount section. Reliable service, easy returns and easy to get hold of Customer Services ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Big & Tall says it all really

I have purchased my suits for office wear at this shop for a number of years & more recently have purchased more casual wear. Clothing sizes are now so variable that once you get beyond XL it is difficult to understand how a 2XL in one brand can be the same size as a 5XL from a different one. This shop is fabulous from the time that you walk through the door. The range of clothes is much better than some department stores & the staff are incredibly friendly & helpful. The same is true of the shoe dept located 30m away in the next building. Great news, you can try things on there & then & if it is not quite right the assistants are there to offer help & guidance. In addition to the suits & extra trousers available if required, I have bought Ed Baxter chinos & shirts for summer holidays etc. I have recently also bought Skechers trainers & shoes. There is an internet site for convenience but personally I just like going to the shop. Parking is right outside on a service road.
