Is Big Clothing 4 You Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Benjamin Pearson pitched Big Clothing 4 You in season 20, presenting a menswear brand built specifically for larger sized men, a corner of the clothing market he argued mainstream retailers were badly underserving.
The answer is no for the original company, though the brand itself did not simply vanish. Big Clothing 4 You went into liquidation in 2023 and was formally dissolved in 2025, but its brand assets were reportedly picked up by a new owner the same year the business collapsed.
What they pitched in the Den
Big Clothing 4 You struck a deal of £150,000 for 35% of the business with Touker Suleyman, at a moment when the company was reported to be around £500,000 in debt and close to entering administration before the show even aired.
Pearson's pitch became one of the more talked about of its season, with Steven Bartlett reportedly calling it one of the best pitches seen on the show, and the resulting publicity was said to have boosted the brand's site traffic by as much as 5000%.
Are they still trading?
No, not as the original company. Companies House lists Bigclothing4u Limited, company number 09722352, as dissolved on 17 May 2025.
Reporting at the time indicated the business faced liquidation in 2023 after accumulating losses exceeding £1.6 million, despite the post broadcast traffic boost. The brand was reportedly taken on by Elizabeth Mann Retail that same year, meaning the Big Clothing 4 You name may still exist commercially in some form, but under different ownership and outside the company the Dragons actually invested in.
Can you still buy the clothes?
The company that pitched on Dragons' Den and took Touker Suleyman's investment is dissolved, so any current trading under the Big Clothing 4 You name would be through its new owner, Elizabeth Mann Retail, rather than Pearson's original business.
If you are trying to find current plus size menswear from this brand, we would recommend checking directly with Elizabeth Mann Retail rather than assuming continuity with the company that appeared on the show, since a brand surviving a liquidation under new ownership is a different thing from the original business still trading.
