Clothing complaint

[lexfurther]

That’s a mystery for me as well. I like mlb shop; they have great sizes and a wide selection. It’s often easier to find what you’re looking for there. If you’re trying to figure out something specific, they might have the right options for you. Have you found any particular items or deals you were excited about from them?

6'3" (75 inches/190.5 cm), 300lbs, size 14 shoes, and 6'11" (83 inches/211 cm) wing span. I like to shop at Aero Tech Design for big/tall cycling gear: https://www.aerotechdesigns.com/

I decided, after going from (at 65) 22 stone two years ago to 13stone, to get a new wardrobe in general, and as I had just returned to cycling, proper clothes, not expensive branded ones but Halfords and the like.

My annoyance is sizing.

WHY is it that whilst all of the clothes I have chosen are the same comfortable fit they range from medium to XXL.

Why is there no standard size, how can a large in one type be nofs website, in a different garment, make, either XXL or M ?

Sizing inconsistencies are frustrating because there's no universal standard across brands. Each brand has its sizing system, which can vary based on target market, design, and material. Even the same size label in one brand may fit differently in another due to these factors. It's best to check individual sizing guides and, if possible, try clothes on or buy from places with easy returns.

no, clothes made anywhere (asia, africa, south america etc) are made to the sizes specified by the manufacturer for the target market. if you've ever looked at clothes in china or japan, it's quite surprising how different the proportions are. even the very largest size would have nowhere near enough length in the leg and arm for a tall western person.

as for the original complaint, outside of tailored clothing, you just have to look at the garment and brand. the best fit is always from garments whose size is specified in inches or cm, then numeric sizes (for women for square swing tags for clothing) and then XS-XL stuff, which really is quite subjective! even with numeric sizes, you need a translation. much like bike frames!

It’s like admitting that the label fits, whether it’s about clothing sizes or a broader classification.
