"...often pre-shrunk." Plus, I've never succesfully shrunk any clothes in the dryer, even when I tried to. Evil.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seems to me that would be the opposite of what you're describing.

What store are you talking about anyway? Something like American Eagle or Hollister (with their homoerotic models)? You're right, overweight people don't shop there, because if we really wanted to look trendy, we wouldn't spend $100 on clothes, we'd just lose weight.

Also, lol that hollister.com deals with incontinence supplies.

Uh, no. Just because a majority of people wear smaller sizes doesn't mean they're short. It means they're not fat.
Where do YOU live? If it's texas, I guess I can understand, since it's the fattest (or one of the fattest, i forget) states.

I'm talking about stores in general.
And besides, fat people can't be trendy. I think it's funny when fat people walk around the mall and diss on the "trendy" stores like AF and shit. Just because you can't fit into the clothes doesn't mean it's a shitty store.
No, I wouldn't pay 100 dollars for jeans either, but I don't see the point in having a grudge against a store just because the people that shop there are thin.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, who dislikes those stores because their customers are thin? That's pretty much the only complaint about them that I haven't heard. They're funny because of their racist hiring practices, walls covered with photos of nearly naked men, and their obscene prices for terribly made clothing.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I am a fat fuck because I sit around all day eating fried foods and drinking <beverages>. Oh, but I am a jolly fat man, I do not mind paying a few extra dollars to cover my extra flesh.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've seen fat chicks walk into those kinds of stores and literally bitch because they don't make sizes large enough for their fat ass.
That's actually the biggest complaint I hear about "those stores".
Generally it's some overweight tubby who's jealous because the skinny girl gets all the attention and can shop in those kinds of places.

The only stores out of the mainstream that have predjudice hiring practices are AF and Hollister, that I know of. And it's not really racist. It just happens that there aren't a lot of black or diversified people that shop at Abercrombie.
And AF and Hollister don't discriminate against race. However, I do know a friend of a friend who applied to Hollister and they flat out told her she wasn't pretty enough to work there.

That, I think is retarded.

But other mainstream stores like American Eagle and Pacsun have more variety as far as employees go.

FELIPE NO

XXL is morbidly obese? wtf...

I had a BMI done out of curiosity about a month back. My BMI is currently about 15.0. And I wear a XXLT. Plus I'm in very good shape. It isn't bragging if it's the truth.

Not everyone who wears XXL is chubby. Take into about bodyframes and muscle developing scales. Lots of folks in XXL and up are chubby, but I wouldn't coin them all that way.

XXLT helps me out because, well, XXL is longer. And the T (tall) gives it even more extension. Wearing an average XXLT goes down to just below the bottom stitching on my back pockets.

As for the price differentiation? Look at it this way. There is a slight materials difference, sure. That could account for it...

But the bottom line is demand. There aren't nearly as many XXXL wearers as there are L wearers. To make them, it takes a bit more money. They have to accomodate the machinery that makes them, and make significantly less numbers than the other sizes. Bottom line is that it is an unpopular size. Takes time and money to make those changes or specialize machinery to make a size that large. It's just supply and demand. Sure, not as much demand. You'd think the price would be lower... But it is another step in a long plan in the production of things. They have to inconvenience themselves to make larger sizes, so they put a little extra amount on.

They can't very well double the price in hopes of panning out evenly across clothing-size brackets. But they can put a slight amount on so that in larger bulk orders, it'll pan out a little.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's more fabric. More stitching. More buttons, ribbons, and other fancies. Also if you are large enough, you may need two people to hold your shirt while its sewn. That's more labor. Those little people who work in factories have a hard time holding that much fabric. It makes sense to me to charge more.

I guess I have no compassion since I'm completely average sized and everything on Earth is made for my convenience. <3

Sucks for tall people I guess. What are they going to do, file their legs down?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I like how this is the best thread ever.

TURNIP MAN: Man why do they charge extra for big shirts sage that shit

ten other hosers: LOL MAN UR HUEG AMERICA HOW ABOUT YOU LOSE SOME WEIGHT, EXCERSIZE, ETC, ETC, ALSO MORE POINTLESS RHETORIC WE'VE ALL HEARD ENTIRELY TOO MUCH.

Get out of the thread, faggots.

Anyways, I've noticed this too and I frown, but I just get used to it. Then again, I just wear hueg shirts because I hate tight fitting or even regular shit. My jeans are also HUEG. :typical black:

Before anyone makes any fat jokes I'm 6' 160ish

who am i kidding lol america = gigantic

How ya doing, buddy?
