So, living in the Chicago area, I like to order a new set of hoodies/sweat pants every winter. Last time, my fat ass barely fit into what I got (4x hanse brand) because I'm 6'1 400lbs or so.
So this year, I found a plus size company selling on Amazon for a decent price, and ordered from them. I thought to myself, well 4x was a little to small, so ordering 5x big and tall (emphasis on the tall) would be perfect.
I was wrong. Very, very wrong. In retrospect, the big and tall is meant for people 6'7 or taller. I foolishly thought that 6'1 was tall. Nope. My pants when pulled up come just below my damn man boob nipples, and I'm still stepping on the legs. These bastards are at least 5 feet long themselves. And the hoodie? The pockets are at my knees! On the one hand, these clothes are so wildly oversized I'm physically unable to grow into them, but on the other hand, I feel mildly better about my size because holy shit these things went up to 7x.
But on the other there hand I feel like James Randel in these damn pants.
TL;DR: big and tall clothes are REALLY big and tall
