For international orders please refer to your own country size scale conversion, which may differ from that shown here, and be guided by the actual measurements shown.
BELTS - the size shown on the website represents the waist size of the person the belt is designed to fit comfortably (Not the length of the belt). This is measured from the buckle to the middle hole, in inches.
BODY LENGTH - Average back lengths are shown within each individual product description and may vary between garments. We typically measure a 4xl to get the 'Average length' - length varies with size, so please add an extra inch for each size larger in the XL scale you need.
MEASURING YOUR CHEST - Place the tape around your Chest so that it passes immediately under your arms. Ensure it lies level as it passes across your back. Pass the tape around your middle at your natural waistline. This lies above your hips and is higher than most people tend to think.
TROUSERS - For trousers to fit comfortably it is important that you order the correct waist size. Please avoid the temptation to order a smaller size by measuring around your hips. This tends to lead to poorly fitting trousers that sag below the crotch and are too long in the leg.
Please note when ordering your clothes - It is quite likely that you may need to order a different 'XL' size in trousers & joggers than for tops - for example should you be either slim-waisted or measure bigger on the waist than your chest.
Please do NOT be tempted to order a size bigger than you measure "to allow for Comfort", or you will find the clothes may well be too big. We are careful to stock clothes only from reputable suppliers who specialise in menswear designed and made specifically for the larger guy. They are therefore already designed and cut to allow the clothes to fit comfortably around the body, allowing room for freedom of movement. For example, as a rule, a "3xl" shirt is designed to fit a person comfortably and smartly with a 50/52" Chest. These are the measurements shown throughout the website. The garment itself however, when laid out flat will typically measure 56 - 58" at the chest level, tapering slightly to the waist. This allows for the shirt to fit comfortably around the back & chest and under the arms, and to sit correctly on the shoulders.
Where specific garments differ significantly in size from the standard XL Scale ('Ben Sherman' for example gives an extra generous cut to their garments), we have indicated this and have avoided quoting typical 'XL' sizes. Please be guided by our measurements given in inches in these instances and order according to your body size.
Should your waist size be larger than your chest, which is quite common, you will need to order a larger size to allow the shirt to button up comfortably and accommodate the largest measurement at the waist. Failing to do this will result in the shirt pulling or gaping around your middle. For example, to fit a 52" chest and 56" waist you would need to order size '4xl' despite having a 3xl chest size. Please be advised however in that case, the garment will inevitably be looser fitting around the shoulders & chest, and longer in the body and sleeves. This problem can only be overcome by bespoke tailoring.
If you prefer a longer fit to your clothes, please note that the body & sleeve length of tops generally increase slightly with chest size.

A dependable, versatile trainer designed for comfort, durability, and everyday performance.
The HI‑TEC BLAST BLACK Lace‑Up Trainer is built for men who want reliability underfoot, whether they’re heading out for a brisk walk, tackling light sports activities, or simply looking for a comfortable, supportive shoe for daily wear. HI‑TEC has a long-standing reputation for creating footwear that blends practicality with comfort, and the BLAST BLACK model continues that tradition with a thoughtful combination of materials, cushioning, and durability features that make it a strong choice for a wide range of lifestyles.
This trainer is ideal for customers who want a shoe that can transition effortlessly from casual use to more active moments. The non‑marking sole ensures it’s suitable for indoor environments such as gyms, sports halls, and workplaces where floor protection matters. At the same time, the overall construction is robust enough for outdoor use, making it a genuinely multi‑purpose option.
A key feature of the BLAST BLACK trainer is its easy‑clean PU upper. This material is lightweight yet supportive, helping the shoe maintain its shape while offering a smooth, low‑maintenance finish. For customers who prefer footwear that doesn’t require constant upkeep, this is a major advantage. The PU upper also contributes to the trainer’s overall durability, making it a reliable choice for everyday wear.
To enhance breathability, HI‑TEC has incorporated a leather vamp in the front foot section. This helps promote airflow, reducing heat build‑up during longer periods of activity. For men who spend a lot of time on their feet, this added ventilation can make a noticeable difference in comfort throughout the day.
Underneath, the carbon rubber outsole provides abrasion resistance, grip, and long‑lasting wear. This type of sole construction is designed to withstand repeated use on a variety of surfaces, offering stability and confidence with every step. Whether walking on pavements, indoor floors, or uneven outdoor paths, the outsole helps maintain traction and durability.
Comfort is further enhanced by the cushioned Phylon midsole, which delivers soft, responsive underfoot support. This lightweight cushioning helps absorb impact, making the trainer suitable for extended wear. Combined with the padded ankle and inner sole, the BLAST BLACK offers a supportive, comfortable fit that reduces fatigue and encourages natural movement.
The classic lace‑up design ensures a secure, adjustable fit, allowing the wearer to tailor the shoe to their preferred level of support. This makes the trainer suitable for a wide range of foot shapes and activity levels.
Available in genuine UK king sizes 12–15, this model caters specifically to men who often struggle to find comfortable, well‑fitting footwear in larger sizes. HI‑TEC’s commitment to proper UK fittings ensures that customers receive accurate sizing and dependable comfort. The BLAST range is also available in White/Navy for those who prefer an alternative colour option.
Finished in a clean, versatile black, this trainer pairs easily with sportswear, casual outfits, and everyday clothing. It’s a practical, understated choice that suits a wide range of customers looking for comfort, durability, and value.
