From the reviews

Lots of summer clothes to choose from! Sale staff were very helpful and professional! A bit pricey on some items, but worth I'm worth it!

★★★★☆ — Martha, Mar 2026

I love the quality of the clothes, it shows when I wear them, the fit, the style, the look, it makes a difference and it shows.

★★★★★ — Patricia, Feb 2020

My go-to store for special occasions. I always get good service here. Be sure to park in the parking lot up the hill to the left of the store.

Big & tall at Talbots

Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Talbots — extended sizes, longer inseams and sleeve lengths, or a dedicated big & tall selection rather than a single rack. If you need specific sizes (tall lengths, extended necks, wide-width shoes), a quick call ahead saves the trip: stock in the far ends of the size run moves fast, and many stores can order your size even when it's not on the floor that day.
