When John March came up with the idea of a new brand of apparel line for bigger boys, he was prepared to face an uphill battle. These days, coming up with an idea that hasn't been thought of already, or for that matter a url that hasn't been taken, is hard to come by. But buoyed by encouragement from seasoned professionals and friends alike, John created Big Ol Boy. As it turns out the more he researched, the more he found that there was a huge, no pun intended, market for this kind of clothing line. A graphic designer of over 30 years, and a member of Daddyhunt, he brings a mix of playful and macho to his designs, which include t-shirts, baseballs caps, and long sleeve.

Whether you're big or heavy set, beary, tall, muscular, or a regular size guy with, shall we say, some other big asset, the Big Ol' Boy has got you covered. Big Ol' Boy plans to roll out more and more pieces every season so the site never gets stale and keeps people coming back for a visit. Keep an eye out for some new summer apparel, including tank tops, and some winter wear in the fall and winter.
