Default Clothe sizes wtf

I was in Costco and they have some Armani shirts so I decided to buy two, obviously there is no changing rooms so I bought two shirts and both were XL. I'm not big I would say I'm 12stone 7 and I'm 5ft 8" and I have a flat stomach yet the shirts were too small for me. I'm going to see if I can get an Xxl in them.

I usually buy a large in everything and that is more that a good fit but now I'm double XL WTF. The shoulders on the shirt were nearly an inch in from my shoulders.

I know some fat people and I don't even think they wear double XL

I was bought a decent Tommy Hilfiger shirt for my birthday. Normally I'm an XL, but the salesman told me to look at an XXL as they were cut small.

the sizes are based upon what country they are made in, some of these little Indian sweatshops have quite small children in them so the sizes would be small for an XXL.

All the Armani gear I have is XL seems the Italian cut is for very small men. Most clothes I buy are medium of large. But XL is the smallest I can get in Armani.

Think all my T-shirts have shrunk in the wash lately. All a bit tight now. They were fine before Christmas. Going to complain to the washing powder company. They've obviously put something in it that shrinks material

it's crazy, you see all these huge people walking around .. I say walking... but where do they get their clothes? I'm medium build, 12.5 stone now (lost a stone) and about 5,10 and like the OP all my tops are XXL. To look at me you'd say medium-Large at most .. must be this generation of skin tight jeans and pointy nipples .. **** that

I'm all over the place since dropped 1.5st.

Used to be an XL in all tops/jumpers etc, now a cross between a M or L shirt, M, L and XL (if Firetrap for example) t-shirt.

Between a 32/34 jean from a 36". Have to try anything on now whereas before being fat made buying simpler

Went back to Costco today and bought an XL in the polo shirt and it's an excellent fit so I'm just going to return the other shirts I bought.
