I hate it when stores think they can charge $2 extra for larger sizes. Who the smurf do they think they are? Seriously? its more fabric. it makes sense. No, it's discrimination.

It's trousers and especially Jeans that don't fit. They're either the right waist but too long The correct length but to big a waist. Or the perfect length and waist but have no room in the er crotch region.

Kam jeans are great for giving you plenty of room, and available in big sizes.

I generally find shirts I like that I could theoritically wear but they wouldn't be as loose as I'd prefer. I'm a tad overweight, but not horrendously so. It never fails though. If I find something I like, it'll only be available in a small enough size that if I buy it it'll be tight enough to where I'll constantly be all self conscious while wearing it. (at least after the first wash) I like baggier clothes, damnit. Then I can still look halfway decent and not be forced to think about my suspect dietary habits and suck ass metabolism all the time.

While were on the topic of shirts. Am I the only person who happens to wear a XL shirt but is not super wide? Because almost ever shirt i have fits me length wise, but when i put my arms up, it looks like i have wings because the shirts are so wide. I hear ya. I have to buy shirts to fit my chest so they end up fitting up top and look like a tent down below.

Don't start me about shirt sizes. Every so often, the "fashion world" decides to change their sizing and makes me just this much closer to going insane.

Buying shirts is a pan in the ass for me. I'm short (5'8 1/2) with a 32 inch waist but my shoulders and neck are friggin massive. So in order to get a shirt that isn't going to strangle me or rip I have to buy one that's way to long and baggy around my stomach.

I've come to discover that they don't make shirts for me and probably never will seeing as I'm 5'9" and 115. Men's smalls fit me well usually in the arms and shoulders and stuff but are just a little short on length (although I do come across a few "little people" shirts that are for guys who are 5'5" and 150 pounds). So I usually just buy medium shirts that are on sale. That way, if I get it home and it just doesn't seem to fit right, my dad and bro are both mediums and both are like 180 or so (I'm guessing, I'm bad with weight) with beer guts so they'll fit those. Plus my bro constantly loses shirts so he'll wear whatever I send him up.
With that said, I have two shirts that fit me well. An old school 80's blue Puma shirt I bought at a Salvation Army for .75 (they lady half-priced because she said it was old... but it's in great shape still) and a plain grey men's small Hanes tagless shirt I bought at a Goodwill with the stickers still attached.

I just hate when I buy a shirt my size that fits just fine somewhere, but then I buy a shirt that's supposed to be my size somewhere else that's too tight. You'd think all the XXL sizes would be the same?

You'd think all the XXL sizes would be the same? OMG I know. I hate that. It's the reason I haven't bought a new shirt in a really long time. I still wear clothes I wore two years ago.

Why would you wanna wear a woman's T-shirt? If it's got something cool on it, why the hell not. I'm...secure. To say the least. And the ladyface likes that sort of thing o.O I've noticed that there were a few girls t's in hot Topic that I wish were in men's sizes. I kinda wish they'd make Torrid into a big girls and guys store, honestly.

I got that length problem too.
My Shoulders, chest, arms, and neck are huge, so i wear l-xxl.
I've kinda put it in my head that certain brands want certain people wearing their shirts. Thus why i've resorted to online shopping.
i still wear shirts from 5 years ago, don't see no problem with that
