  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.

Good quality clothes

Will definitely be shopping again for formal clothes. The fit of the waistcoat and trouser I ordered was great and the price paid was friendly on the bank account. I paid for standard delivery and it came quicker than expected. A good purchase.

Fantastic service......look no further

First time purchasing from this menswear retail business and it won't be the last .
I arrived at the shop a little early and a very pleasant young man opened the shop and invited me in even though it was not yet opening time
He immediately asked what I was shopping for and when told a suit showed me in to a different area. After several questions and measuring me up.produced exactly what I was looking for and after a few trips upstairs as if by magic I got the right suit for the right price and a small alteration though needed I was in no doubt that this was a great experience.......Nothing was too much trouble, my only regret being that I hadnot been here before!!

Proper Big & Tall, excellent service

What a great find this was. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a suit for a wedding for my 6’8in husband, we came across these guys online. After a helpful chat on the phone we decided to visit.
Blown away by this team. They were not only friendly, fun and professional, but these guys know their stuff.
Looked after by Nettie & Andy - the knowledge of their stock, their ability to create a look and know how things will look and fit was exceptional! Nothing was too much trouble, they made us feel welcome and valued, and we had a giggle along the way.
Never have I seen my husband be able to try on so many clothes in an actual shop, and feel comfortable that he has choice.
For anyone who is, or has a partner / friend / family member who is big or / and tall, make the trip to see these guys. You won’t be disappointed.

As good as it gets.

Excellent customer service from first to last.
I rang on a Saturday to ask about tall fit dressing gowns and was told they had plenty so we visited on the following Monday.
The shop is well stocked with both tall mens' and large mens' clothing.
If you want it they have it.
Dressing gown and other items purchased all at very reasonable prices.
The staff were then able to advise us on where to go for lunch which was also very good.
It's well worth a visit to this shop if you need kitting out.

Out Standing Customer Service

I am not one for shopping but the guys at John Banks Birmingham made me feel like a million dollars. Nettie really knows her stuff and guessed correctly the sizes of my suit and shirt. definately going back there, you have a new fan.

First time I have enjoyed shopping

Having spent a lifetime wearing either what will fit or oversized tops just to get the arm length, investing 90 minutes with Sue who ran up and down to the stock room to dig out the right sizes in what actually suited me. First time I have enjoyed shopping in my 49 years

Great customer service

I visited this store on 31/07/2023 with my autistic adult nephew, as he needed an outfit to wear to his cousin's wedding. We were served by Jack and the service was amazing. We were in the shop for just over an hour, with my nephew trying on several items, before purchasing his chosen outfit. If you want good, old fashioned personalised customer service, this is the shop to visit. Jack is an absolute credit to the business

Fantastic clothing store

Fantastic clothing store. Good quality, true to size, with fantastic customer service. We asked for next day delivery before 12 and DHL were dragging their heels but the wonderful man chased down the delivery and I had my product less than 20 minutes later. When I called to see what was happening he was already on the ball and knew who I was immediately and had been tracking my item to make sure it was delivered. Will definitely be using for future purchases! Sometimes it takes something going a little awry to shine and they certainly did that. Buy with confidence!

Customer service at its best!

Visited the shop yesterday with my husband to buy holiday clothes.
It's been the best part of 40 years since we were in the shop..and how very different it is!!
Had fantastic service off Sue and the team and we left more than happy with an entire holiday's worth of clothes and a very happy husband 😀 He has always hated clothes shopping but I know exactly where he will be going next time he needs clothes
Thank you so much Sue and the team 🤩

We took our son to John Banks for the…

We took our son to John Banks for the first time. He's always a bit conscious of size and struggles with some off the peg high street store clothes and sizing. Well he was a bit unsure when he walked through the doors but was quickly put at ease by a great guy called Andy.
Andy stayed with him, helping Mason with recommendations etc. Well our wallet was definitely lighter when we left but worth every penny to see how happy our son was after his visit.
Thanks Andy for all your time, you were
absolutely brilliant. We never felt uncomfortable or rushed, great service. We will definitely be back.

Outstanding Shop

Was greeted by our host Nettie, and was instantly made to feel right at home. Catered for everything that we needed as we were suit shopping for a wedding next year. Nettle took excellent care of us, and completely sold the shop to me to which now I will be a regular customer there. Couldn't fault our experience at all.

Served by Jack today

Served by Jack today. Very enjoyable visit, took a list with me, everything was in stock. Great to be able to visit in person, instead of online. The online shop and photographs, don't do the shop justice. Brian, from NZ.
