Are designers hurting themselves by not catering for larger people?

So I was thinking most designers don't go above a size 16 38" waist for men.

But with so many people getting larger, are they not alienating a large portion of the population by not offering larger sizes?

I know there is snobbery about bigger people not wearing the clothes properly etc,

But there is potentially millions if not billions of pounds worldwide they could make by making larger clothes?

Jacamo http://www.jacamo.co.uk/shop/ already cater for the larger persons so l guess that there must be a market for such clothes.

Perhaps fatties could do a bit of slimming down - not only will this potentially improve your health it'll mean you get to wear nice fashions too.
