Believe it or not, another brand I can wear is women's jeans from the Gap. That's not as bizarre as you might think; women have proportionately longer legs and they actually have hips, whereas the men's fashion industry is determined to design everything to fit Mister Potatohead (a shapeless blob with stubby, toothpick-sized arms and legs). They are a little higher-waisted, though, so, as always, try before you buy.
HAHAHAHAHA, I'll bet you're just a pasty faced, out of shape little . . . OH, WAIT, that was YOU owning Nik in that pic where it was a toss up which was more impressive, your set-up or your, errrr, set-up! (Runs away and hides). :eek: :shocked: :laugh:

WTF?
TTF. Posted by Trygve when Nik doubted the desk in the picture was his. As you can see, Trygve's problems in finding jeans that fit may differ somewhat from yours. :laugh:

I have a 50" chest, 19"+ neck, 28" sleeve, 36" torso and size 16 feet. Don't complain to me about finding clothes that are comfortable ;)

Heck, I'm the second smallest guy in my family.

Gimli? Is that you?

Imagine the same situation but for someone 6'4": I'm 30x36 - nothing exists, all clothes have to be tailored

i have a 18.5 inch neck but not the body it takes to fill a dress shirt that is for a 18.5 inch neck. i feel like i have a fricken tent on when i have to wear a dress shirt with a tie. i can take the front of my shirt and pull it over a foot away from my chest. it fricken sucks.
