Clothes are actually larger and that is a fact. I think you are probably larger too. Sorry.

This reminds me of something that pisses me off. A lot of people insist on tall sizes now, not because they are tall, but because their stomach is so loving big that they need the extra length to make sure their belly doesn't hang out.

gently caress those people.

Fat people should have to pay more for clothes as they use more materials to make them. Also maybe we should make restaurant doors like a foot wide so you have to walk in sideways, barring all fatties from entering.

Denying fatties entrance to restaurants is bad for business. Although, maybe we could set up a trough outside?

Isn't that as classically goony, though? Being morbidly obese yet dressed in business casual regardless of the situation? Usually with a pair of disgusting sneakers that look like an M80 went off in them.

I thought it was usually the cheapest new balance shoes they could find in black.


Edit. Sorry for the double post. I forgot where I was.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH
What I've found is that mens pants are the same as always but shirts are cut really strangely now. I'm not thin by any means, but my 16 1/2-34/36 dress shirt that I wore in high-school 20 years ago still fits fine but now I have to buy 17 1/2-34/35 and the shape of the shirt is strange. Overly baggy in the midsection, but tight in the shoulders with sleeves that are too short. Do designers think that fat people have tiny shoulders and stumpy arms?

I've been getting more and more annoyed by this so yesterday I went to Walmart which really should be a bastion for fat people. I got some of those tank tops that come in a plastic bag, size L for gently caress sake, which in Walmart you would think would be equal to a XXL anywhere else, and I could barely fit into the thing, I had to struggle to get into it. Same thing happened at old navy, I bought an XL raincoat thinking I wanted something large and comfortable and it basically just fit me.

I'm not even close to fat, I'm like 6'0 and 180 pounds. What the gently caress do people who are actually fat do?

There is no way that you don't fit into a large at that body weight. That's right around where I am and I fit into a large fine. You are lying.

You should try buying T-Shirts in Thailand...XL were the biggest they had and they were like children's clothes. Only $1 a shirt though! Nothing wrong with showing a bit of bare belly as a man.

I have a XXL t-shirt that I got for some free giveaway and it's as wide as a tent but it's the exact same length as the L t-shirts I normally wear, this must be why giant fat dudes always have the bottom of their gut hanging out

that's what tall tees are for

The reason I got annoyed about the tall shirts earlier is because sometimes for my job I have to order large quantities of shirts and people who demand talls make it moderately more difficult which annoys me because lots of things annoy me. Anyway, I always think the size distribution is alarming. If I order 100 shirts, this is the likely distribution:

S - 0
M - 2
L - 15
XL - 20
2XL - 40
3XL - 20
4XL - 2
5XL - 1

It's kind of crazy that 2XL seems to be the average size shirt now...

Why, vixen, have you again set the gods by the ears in the pride and haughtiness of your heart?
Have you tried shopping with a girl? Just about every guy I know has an entire casual wardrobe that consists of "first pair of jeans I came across that fit" and "first shirt that looked wide enough when I held it in front of me by the hanger." I finally talked a bunch of my guy friends into letting me help them pick clothes and trying them on before buying them. It makes a big difference in how comfortable they are more than how they look. On top of that, tons of guys don't realize what the difference in jean cuts means, or how different types of tee shirts hang off your shoulders and neck.


Just get a girl to go to the store with you some time.

the best part about this is after a while you don;t even have to go shopping with them anymore and they will just show up randomly with nice looking clothes that fit you, I don't think I've actually bought clothes myself other than shoes and socks for like at least a couple years
