post #1

It seems like no matter where I go, there is always XS and S sizes or XL+ sizes in the things I want. I wear a Medium to a Large depending on the shirt length. Do they make more smaller and larger sizes? I don't get it.

The average woman has a 34 inch waist and the average man has a 36 inch waist which pegs them to be mediums and larges.

I think the average sizes in America are this way for sure, I mean the average pant size for women is 14 and for men it is a 36-38 or LARGE.

Pretty sure this wouldn't be a big deal to her if she was the one ghosting.

Go figure...

Reads like a a billboard full of warnings. Even if I were 6ft, I'd avoid at all costs

Best place to purchase jeans in smaller sizes?

I shop at Aeropostale and Macy's and can find jeans down to a size 30. Short of taking my jeans to a tailor, can any of you recommend a place that sells jeans for adults off-the-rack with inseams down to about size 28? The more suggestions the merrier.

I prefer what they'd call "slim athletic" or fitted. Tapered down the legs with some room to breathe further up.

Shopping on Amazon (Asian sizes)

I've never figured this out. They say an Asian size is 2 sizes smaller than an American size? So I ordered an L and it barely fits. Certainly Asians aren't THAT much smaller. How does it work?
