Insufficient Xs in the shop

Rocker

Went into the local DIY store, looking for a bodywarmer.  They have an extensive work clothes section and lots of bodywarmers.  Only problem is the largest is XXL which is one X too few.  I have broad shoulders and need the width.  My brother has the same problem, we must have been front rows in a previous life.

Do shops not realize that there are a few XXXLs out there?

Couldn't you buy an XL and an XXL and wear them together? 

That'd be the Black Country solution.

With zipped items I can see no possible downside to this solution. Even the extra arms would be an interesting talking point....

I have the same issue with underwear....

Then he'd have a XXXLL, okay on the Xs but one too many Ls.

Mind you, two XLs woulkd give an XXLL and that might just work, depending on the proportion of X to L.

Shop at Asda. It's all fat bastard clothing in there ( err, which would also fit the more generous gentleman).

Simple solution.

LOL, like UK has less obese people that you can spot around bug shopping centres.

Often wearing insufficient or ill fitting clothing

Speak for yourself my man, but all the entomologists I know are as thin as stick insects.

I must admit, my dad bought me a XL shirt last year and I was  quite offended.... and really upset when it fit so well.

If I discover that I have any inner Freddie Flintoff, I'll be channelling him with one of these.

I'm at the opposite end of the scale - it's often quite difficult to find things in size S.

No shortage of S it seems.  Go to WoodiesDIY at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre when you are next over in Dublin.

No, but you can have a LOL anyway.
