ATTENTION IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
A NEW SEASON. A LASTING LEGACY. ONE BROTHERHOOD. 🖤✨

For years, @soclassicgentsxl has been dedicated to creating platforms and providing a space primarily for our BIG & TALL GENTS through fashion, body positivity, confidence, and healthy living.

It has been a distinct honor and privilege to build something that goes beyond fashion. Together, we have created a safe space for genuine brotherhood, meaningful connections, personal growth, and lasting friendships with gents from across the country. What started as a vision has grown into a community that represents so much more than what we wear. It represents WHO WE ARE!

With that said, it is with mixed emotions that we officially announce our FINAL XL INGATHERING, taking place March 12–14, 2027, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! 🎉🖤

This will undoubtedly be a bittersweet moment, but if you know So Classic Gents XL, then you already know WE ARE GOING TO DO IT BIG! This is more than just another gathering; it is an opportunity to celebrate our journey, honor our brotherhood, reflect on the memories, and commemorate the impact we have made together.

As we celebrate THE BIG 10, we invite you to make plans now to join us in Oklahoma City for this historic milestone and our official FINAL XL INGATHERING!

Now, let us be clear: THIS IS NOT A GOODBYE TO THE BROTHERHOOD! Our connections will continue, and we will still have opportunities to fellowship through annual trips and other experiences. Our page will also continue to showcase Big & Tall fashion, style, and inspiration.

To every gent who has attended an Ingathering, supported the movement, shared a moment, built a friendship, or contributed to this journey in any way—THANK YOU! You have helped make this more than a platform. You have helped make it a brotherhood.

Now, let’s bring it home the way only So Classic Gents XL can!

📍 OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
📅 MARCH 12–14, 2027
🎉 CELEBRATING THE BIG 10
🖤 THE OFFICIAL FINAL XL INGATHERING with our very own @bigtretv_

🔌 THE HOUSTON CONNECT — SEPTEMBER 28

If all you want to do is collect business cards, this may not be the mixer for you.

The Houston Connect was created for something bigger.

We’re bringing together business owners, executives, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and community leaders who understand that the right connection can open a door, build a partnership, strengthen a community—or change the trajectory of a business.

This isn’t about walking into a room, handing out 50 cards, and going home with 50 more.

We want you to meet somebody.
Learn what they do.
Tell them what you do.
Discover where your visions intersect.

Because networking should lead somewhere.

CONNECT. COLLABORATE. GROW. 🔌

Join The Jennifer Experience, TJE Healing Solutions, and Faith Healings, in partnership with Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria, for an evening intentionally designed to bring Houston’s business and community leaders into the same room.

📅 Monday, September 28
⏰ 7 PM–10 PM
📍 Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria
2001 Post Oak Blvd., Houston, TX
🍸 Happy Hour & Bar Menu Specials

And here’s the important part:

📲 DON’T JUST SHOW UP. GET CONNECTED.

Scan the QR code on the flyer and register.

We’re building The Houston Connect network beyond one night—so when opportunities, future mixers, collaborations, resources, and connections become available, we know how to reach you.

Your next connection may already be in the room.
The question is whether you’ll be there to meet them.

📲 SCAN. REGISTER. CONNECT.
