Fatties...

[LS8]

I'm out of town visiting family and was asked by a relative to work on their car. No problem, except I didn't bring any work clothes. So, I head over to the local Walmart to buy a cheap $10 pair of jeans and a few t-shirts, work gloves, etc.

I wear a size 32 pant... Walmart was sold out of size 32 jeans in the style I wanted (cheapos). I asked the lady working in the clothing department and she said they only stock a few pairs of 32s now because that size classified as an "extra small" size now and not that many people wear that size anymore.

I ended up buying the last pair of size 32 Dickies tan work pants in the store. They weren't on display; it took three people 15 minutes digging around the warehouse to find them.

Now, if you want say a size 46 pant or a size 50 pant they got those, lots of em.

So, apparently at 6.0' tall and 205 lbs I'm now a minority. I'm not fat enough.

You live in Indiana? That explains a lot.

 

[Kalmah]

You should try a deep-fried whopper.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Oh great, now I'll have even more of a hard time to find pants. I was a 28 for the longest time. 30 was usually where they started. Now that I'm finally a 30... they go and bring it up to 32. arg! Why is it that fatties have to set the standard?

 

[joesmoke]

not only do they need lovin too, but they also need pants... unless they like to wear a nice sweatpants/cape combo

[ElFenix]

I'm in Anaheim at the moment, numb nuts.

How was I supposed to know?

Any only reason I said what I did is because Indiana has a higher than average obesity rate. It's not the worst in the country, but it's not low.

32s are baggy on me. 31s fit perfect but very few people sell them.

=(

in high school i would go buy 18 husky and they fit fine..until i started getting made fun of. heh

 

[Kadarin]

Well, this is both America and Walmart we're talking about, so honestly, what did you expect?

 

[LS8]

I haven't bought clothes at Walmart besides this purchase in probably 10 years. I had no idea what to expect from them. My goal was cheap clothes I could get dirty and then toss in the trash.

 

[FoBoT]

you should have gotten a size 64 and cut them in half

 

[lxskllr]

32 waist is pretty skinny for someone who is 6' tall. I bet you disappear when you turn sideways :^D

Dang. Are you mega-ripped? 6', 205 and wear a size 32 waist is amazing.

No it's not. I'm around 6'1" and have a 30-32" waist, depending on the make of the pants.

I'm "normal" as far as I know! I do have broad shoulders. At one point I jumped up to 245 and no one could tell, my frame hid it very well. 200-205 seems to be my ideal weight.

 

[lxskllr]

No it's not. I'm around 6'1" and have a 30-32" waist, depending on the make of the pants.

I'm 6'4", and I don't remember having a 32" waist. It was some time well before graduating highschool. Until recent years I was always called skinny.

 

[BassBomb]

im like in some limbo between 30 and 32

Guess it depends on where you shop. I buy most of my jeans from Eddie Bauer, and they tend to have sizes below a 32. Their jeans also run on the small side for some reason. Every other pant I'm 32x32, but EB I'm 33x32 :hmm:

btw, I'm 6' 175 and been in size 32 for many years. Not exactly skinny either. D:

Yup, that's me. 31 fits perfect. 32 is baggy, 30 is like wearing tights.
