[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 6186249, member: 31216"] Shirt sizes vary a great deal between brands. Now, some brand differences are because of the culture of the customer -- some styles are intentionally designed to be long and baggy, where others are intentionally designed to be short and tight. A medium in one won't have the same dimensions as a medium in the other -- by intentional design because of different style. Some people want a particular shirt because they like it individually, but they want it to fit like a shirt of a different style, so they have to know to choose a different size than what the shirt was designed for. For example, if a particular shirt fits you as a medium, but you want to wear it for exercising, you may want a small so it fits tighter and doesn't flow around and get in the way. (A shirt specifically designed for exercise may already be sized medium to fit a medium person with its purpose in mind.) Or maybe you want to wear it with loose, baggy jeans, so you want a large to it matches the pants style. (A shirt specifically designed for baggy style may already be sized medium to fit a medium purpose.) But then, there is also some vast differences between brands that serve the same customer base. This gets frustrating. For instance, [url=http://www.totalbullgrit.com/blog/shirt-sizes-vary-too-much/]I found some "performance" shirts that varied a ridiculous amount[/url] -- a medium was loose, a large was tight. Same shirt style, but the brands didn't agree on a sizing. As for the "we have supersized our society" comment, I dislike using the "supersize" term. I think it's too much. But I will say that of the t-shirts I've sold, large and x-large are definitely the most common sizes. Personally, I wear medium comfortably, but I don't mind a shirt to be form fitting on me. Some people, possibly even with my body size, just feel more comfortable with a little extra room in their t-shirts. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
