  2. Also – c'mmon, there are easily avaible clothes for big men, just you along skipping leg days shouldn't skip rest of you days on gym.
    Meanwhile me – when I was working on a construction site, a labour clothing store suggested that I order clothes for children from the "Bob the Builder" series.

  3. Remember everyone, you can’t just go to a tailor if you need to make a pair of pants longer – tailors can really only remove fabric, not add, especially in mens clothing where extra seams or “showing ankle” are not acceptable. So it’s a much worse problem than it is for short people – it might suck that shorter people have to go to the juniors section to find their size… but at least most stores have their size somewhere (just not in a section they want to visit). Almost no store sells pants that are long enough for a 6ft 5 or taller person unless they’re specialty or custom made, and you can’t just buy a pair of pants made for a shorter person, because they’ll look like shorts or capris… which is rarely the look anyone is going for for long pants.

  29. He’s not wrong! I’m 6’6” living in Costa Rica. They don’t have any tall stores. Their 3X shirts are super rare and are like XL and if I’m lucky 2X. They have European sizes. I have to buy smaller sandals that have Velcro adjustments and open them all the way. My toes are at the end of the shoes. Other shoes are out. When we go to the US the first thing my wife does is clothes shop

  30. I had a pint with Robin Ince once and he was vehemently explaining why Steve Merchants stand up was one of the best he's ever seen. Very overlooked. Definitely should do more stand up.
