  1. Chinese, too. I ordered a jacket on fleabay: usually I take XL but ordered XXL to be sure. When it arrived, it was well made and a bargain: or would have been if it would meet round my chest . . .

    2. A couple of ladies I worked with in Japan would change your mind on that. Rather well endowed.

  3. While in Japan a couple of years ago it was striking how small the women were. Also never saw a lard ass, man or woman.

  4. And I'm just over here thinking how stupid it is that it's legal to label clothes with "sizes" that aren't actual, you know, measurements. Everything should be legally required to have actual numbers, measured in inches or cm, I don't care, but actual numbers with actual meaning. Otherwise, we're just guessing. This is especially true in this day and age, when many people are ordering over the internet. Even the SAME MANUFACTURER has different meanings for the same "size!" It's beyond stupid.

    1. I reckon John is probably a good guy, but even on a III percenter site like this you still see people calling for more laws/ government. I don't understand.

    2. Well, this isn't a III%er site, it's a Conservative site. The III% world seems to be full of nothing but wannabe 'commanders' and I don't want to exchange one tyrant for another.

      While I don't think it should be required by law, I do wish clothing manufacturers would put the numbers on their products. I want something that fits, not just in the ballpark.

    3. Speaking of III%, how's Sammy these days?

    6. Yessir, somewhere along the line everybody forgot one of Mike's main concepts, that it's supposed to be a leaderless movement.

  5. My brothers wife is very petite, she has to shop in the children's and young adults for clothing. Even adult size small looks like a tent on her.

  6. I hosted several Japanese teenaged girls as foreign exchange students. Cute as buttons and all were quite small physically. The last girl we hosted was just under 5 feet tall, but had a large chest by their standards. She told my wife that she was considered buxom in Japan, but was only normal here in the US.

    If you will indulge me, I will tell you story that amused me. When in Japan, she attended an all girls' school. She told my wife that they would torment the male teachers by flashing their panties at them during class.

    During her almost year long stay with us, he sent some packages that included some inappropriate letters and inappropriate articles of clothing. Riru and my wife kept the info from me until several such packages had arrived. I was home the day one such package arrived. The women complained that they could not stop the activity and it was disturbing. I volunteered to make it stop. They laughed and told me I was welcome to try.

    I composed a letter. Four short paragraphs. P1: I introduced myself. P2: I described the activity that had occurred and noted how objectionable it was. P3: I told him I had copies of all of his letters, photos of the clothing, and copies of the shipping waybills and that that I would forward it all to the schools admins (okay, I stretched the the truth a bit) if the activity persisted. P4: I explained that he would not want to suffer that embarrassment and that any further contact was unwelcome.

    A week or so later, I got a frantic email. He apologized profusely and explained that he had posted another package a few days earlier. He begged me to not report him and that he would cease all contact immediately. So, I responded that I would let this one pass, but any further contact would invite the wrath of hell to descend upon him. Nothing arrived after that last package, about 4 months into the 10 month stay.

    Riru later told me that she occasionally saw him on the streets of their neighborhood. She said that, as soon as he saw her, he would turn and run away with a disturbed look on his face. My wife, Riru, and Riru's mother were amazed at the effect that my short letter had. I just explained that I knew how to talk to men.

  7. Vanity sizing. The opposite of shrinkflation. The size designation (S/M/L/XL) stays the same, but the clothing gets larger and larger.

    Last time we went shopping for new scrubs for my RN wife, we couldn't find any in her size (Medium). But there were plenty of 4XL, 5XL, 6XL (yikes!)

    Dwell on that.

  8. So, I've been losing weight. I started at 260 and I'm currently hovering around 200. When I was 250-ish I could find plenty of clothing at thrift stores in the 38 size waist that I had, but now that I need some 32s, I can't find them anywhere. It's a good problem to have, because my diabetes is controlled now, but I need some pants.

    1. Might want to re-check your waist size. I weigh about 180 pounds and a 33 inch waist is tight on me, and I have very little belly fat. No way I could be comfortable in 32s.
      Also, try buying them online if you know the style you want.

    2. Go to U-Toob and look up "Project Farm".
      He does testing of things on his own and one of the toobs was how different manufacturers jeans fit on a dummy (how much bigger or to the size the waist said they were). I think it was about last year.
      I found it:

  9. Makes sense that in a society trying to normalize and even celebrate morbid obesity that small size clothing would in fact be gigantic.

  10. They resize women's clothes to make them feel better about being fat.

  11. When I was a young teenager, my brother came home after being in Viet Nam and he brought home a Vietnamese uniform, I was too big for it. (I was a pretty big kid, but not that big.)

  12. Lack of a red meat diet. I have friends from the Philippines, predominantly a fish/fowl, pork on occasions and rice and beans diet. Their two children, (now adults) are still small in stature, but once they went to college the boy and girl started to bulk up in muscle mass, not fat.

    1. I believe you are correct, look at the Vietnamese that came over after we left Nam and compare them to the, where we now 3rd generation, Vietnamese today.... They are a little larger but look a whole lot healthier..
