Hey fatass, here's a clue. It takes more material to cover your excessive body size and those sizes above XL have to cost more to cover the extra fabric.

I'm 6'3", 180lbs max. Maybe you are a fatass? 😛

I wear a large, not an XL, not a XXL. I don't like walking around looking like a tent.

Ah the prototypical anorexic computer geek... watch those elbows, you'll take someone's eye out.

In what world is 6'3" 180lbs anorexic? Sounds like someone is jealous...

no, it sounds like someone needs to eat. 6'3 @ 180lbs is tiny. I mean i'm 5'11 and I'm 185lbs, and heck, i'm pretty muscular, but at the same time if you see me you will think I am slim and lean. my friend who is 6'3, 210lbs is even skinny ...

why do stores charge the same for XS clothing?...

The higher cost of production due to smaller lot sizes is offset by the lower cost of materials. With the larger sized clothes, the cost to produce and higher material cost raises prices, but with the smaller sizes, it balances out to cost about the same as L or XL, which comprise most of the shirts sold.
 
Because they should. If my shirt uses 1/3rd less material than an XXL, why not...although I'm not buying clothes at walmart/target...clothing stores should follow suit 😉 😀

<--- 6'7", 215 lbs.
I wear a 2X - I don't like looking like a tent either, but I also don't like having long sleeves that barely come down past my elbows.
 
No I'm not jealous of the 6'3" boney man at 180lbs. I am only noting that 180lbs is not typical and that the guy should refrain from insulting people who aren't anorexic and missing half their organs or something.

Being 5'11" and being 6'3" are two different things. That's why Arnold weighed somewhere from 225-250, while Franco Columbo was <200 lbs. Don't fool yourself, you're probably neither as muscular nor as thin as you think.

Being 6'3" and weighing 185, I'm benching 290 and deadlifting 385. There is no way i'm a twig.
 
the fact that you would question the legality of an enterprise to price their products they way they deem best makes me want to puke.
 
6'3" and 180lbs is most likely not going to make a skinny person. I have a friend with nearly those same dimensions (he might have actually weighed a few pounds less), and while he wasn't the next Ahhhhnold, he was in good shape. I personally am 5'10" and 160-165lbs, and I wouldn't consider myself skinny; I'm just very anal in my weightlifting and with my diet. What's depressing about this is that although I can come close to benching twice my weight, I got my a$$ handed to me in a competition this past February. Good LORD, that guy could lift a lot.

Besides, everybody's frame is different. Everyone wears weight differently, and some people need more or less mass than others to not look under- or overweight.

What are you talking about? Government regulation is always the answer!

Anorexic? Hardly. I have a decent sized frame, bench more than my own weight, mountain bike regularly, etc...


lmao @ all the responses that turned up
 
to everyone saying this is a good idea, just remember that you said that the next time you see a fat woman in clothes that are a lot too small for her because she wanted to save a few bucks.
 
Every XXL shirt has a $.50 tax by the federal gov't, and this money is used to research new ways to use fat people as an alternative energy source for when our fossil fuels run out.
