I'm 6" 180 lbs. I lift weights and do 40 minutes of cardo four days a week.

XL is the only thing that fits both the length of my arms and width of my shoulders, most often.

In cheap, tourist T-shirts, I usually buy XXL because they shrink so much.

XL is not a "fat" size. Hell, I'm not a "fat" guy by any standard.

And is it only me, or do any other people here over the age of 30 feel like sizes have gotten considerably smaller over the years?

I'm 18 and I seem to recall when XL and XXL were huge... but maybe that was when I was a kid. Still.. if you wear XL, what do 350 lb people wear??

They go to "big and tall" stores. There are 3, 4 and 5XL (+?) sizes. Just not in the normal stores.

XL, before washing, is only a 46-48" chest, 35-36" sleeve, and 17-17 1/2" neck.

I have a 16 1/2" neck, 45" chest and 35" sleeve length. So you see, Large-Tall is my best size because of the sleeve. But since most stores don't have tall sizes, I just buy XL.

unfortunatly since tall is a helluva lot more money, it won't be offered, your best bet is to go the next size up. as for small, if there is enough demand for it I can support it. its all about how to keep costs down :).

Somehow I don't think there will be enough demand for my size. :(

I'll throw a few in the batch to find out, how about that?

xxl or 20-37" long , have them custom made since big and tall shops have the worst clothes on the planet.

to those that would like small, i agree with you. i love those Fruit of the Loom and Hanes A-shirts that are made for males. they are cheaper than womens underware, but they start in M. i wish they did make small ones:frown:

that is a very nice bell curve :). I would have expected it to be biased towards the bottom.

M or L, depending on the shirt. regular t-shirt L i guess. M for undershirts. dunno about dress sizes, i *think* 16 1/2 34-35, but the shirts that fit best were tailered. (having parents living in a modernizing 3rd world country rocks :D )
