As a 6’2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don’t.

    For me it’s that everything today is made out of some flavor of shitty plastic. Call ot whatever you want - “Active Wear”, “Cool Breeze”, “Dry Tech” - it’s polyester, it feels terrible, and amps my BO up to 11 even if I’m just sitting still.

      lol sorry about that. Polyester definitely doesn’t have that effect on me and unlike cotton, 100% polyester is pretty much unaffected by wash + dry cycles.

      Cotton wears out stupidly quick in comparison.

      So when buying off I’m interested i don’t even check sizes, I go straight for material. If it’s less than 70% polyester I won’t even consider buying it.

      The apology is because stores do seem to be shifting towards folks like me. I love it.

        Yup. Polyester feels way better on my skin than cotton, especially if I sweat at all. Also easier to maintain. I won’t buy anything cotton these days.

      I thought it was just me! I almost never have BO, unless I’m wearing polyester. Sitting for 8 hours in a football shirt is like equivalent to me not showering for a week.

      I don’t understand it.
