I probably can't help you, but the women's jacket may be cut smaller in the shoulders and (which would exacerbate) have somewhat shorter sleevesThe sleeves would be coming off anyway, not sure how smaller shoulders would look - not something I had considered.
Denim jackets are great and I have worn them regularly since I was a teen, but always in standard blue and standard men's sizes. I can tell you for sure that men's Levi's have great pockets and women's don't ....
When's Sorange's RuPaul's Drag Race Debut ??Unlikely to get on TV, but it would potentially be worn August 11-14th. Could get it on youtube...
Seller sent an offer of 33% off, I am now the proud owner of a bright pink jacket that may or may not fit :confused:Welcome to the wonderful world of buying clothing online! It sucks, and nothing ever fits, but when it works... it's so not worth the cost.
Welcome to the wonderful world of buying clothing online! It sucks, and nothing ever fits, but when it works... it's so not worth the cost.(https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif) Hopefully you're wrong, I'm pretty normal size and shape so usually a chest measurement is enough to buy a top but that's mens clothes.
Real talk, male to female clothing measurement conversions need to be more available.Real, real talk..
Chinese fake sizes.
I seldom buy clothes online but I found a couple of great T-shirts on ebay from China. I am a big guy and usually buy 2XL but an XL can fit if it is a generous cut.If I'm buying from the US I know to go down a size so I wouldn't be surprised if you have to go two or three bigger in Asian sizing as (without meaning any "racist" offence) they are generally smaller so it makes sense their clothing sizes are too. Otherwise many of them would have to be like my adult sister who wears mostly age 14 clothes (https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)
My orders were for a 2XL and a 3XL (the largest that they offered) but when they arrived they were way too small. I could manage to get them on, but they were both far tighter than is comfortable to me.
Even women can't trust the measurements.I don't understand why womens clothes sizing uses exclusively even numbers, nor why the US scale starts at 0 and the UK's at 6 when everything else quite reasonably starts at 1 and I don't think I want to - hence asking about "fitting" rather than "sizing".
A size 4 from one manufacturer is a size 12 for another, even when they offer specific measurements they can be off quite a lot, and that's before you add in Chinese fake sizes.
In china they don't use dryers, so generally cloths are cut smaller because they don't shrink when they sundry them, vs the way we put them in dryers.Interesting! I avoid dryers (why pay for some something that will happen anyway?) so maybe I wouldn't need to size up :)
All I know is every clothing I order from China is always 1-2 sizes too small, regardless of the stated size.Sounds about right. Are you a natural or dryer dryer?
Possibly to assuage people's fear of corpulence? For in the example of those shirts in the US "2XL" may well *seem* smaller than "54-56" (inches around the chest) and/or "18" (inches around the neck).I don't know, "extra" implies more and needing to add a number means multiple times more and you're still reaching to the back of the rack (or the bottom of the dropdown) so there's no escaping that your clothes are bigger than most even without putting a number on it. Of course you may be big because you live in the gym or have giant genes but surely you know if you're "corpulent".

I am a little over 6 feet (1.85 m) and about 225 lb (100 kg / 16 stone) and in decently good health for my age, so I don't think of myself as too far outside of the norm for a modern American male.That was meant as a general "you" aimed at "people's fear of corpulence", didn't mean to question your size. But as you mention it you're a bit taller than me and 33% heavier - easily done as I'm small boned and it looks like I only do leg day at the gym (30" waist and can wear a medium shirt but have to buy large for the length) If you're only adding the 2 because you like a loose fit then I agree, you're the big end of average. You know that and that was my point - if I needed an XL shirt I'd know I had a problem, even though it's a perfectly normal size :thumb:

The only way your example works is if one is a UK 12 and the other a US 4 - drop 1 size same as men then shift 3? Surely no-one is stupid enough to buy at a shop because they can fit in a size 4 when everywhere else they're a 12, they might get away with one size but definitely not four.
Please see above - they know and everyone they know knows, it's stupid and pathetic and I would have no problem saying so (and no doubt getting fired for it)Surely no-one is stupid enough to buy at a shop because they can fit in a size 4 when everywhere else they're a 12, they might get away with one size but definitely not four.It's called vanity sizing.
Some women are INSANE about sizes, storming out of stores for being told even their size may be larger than they want.

You realise that this now needs to be followed up with a photo?I was hoping no-one would ask, but you're probably right. Assuming I can get it on while still being able to operate a camera (https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)
Are you going to be showing any belly button?Arms down it just about reaches the waistband of my trousers. No idea if that's the right length or it's a women size issue but it wont be worn alone so not a problem.
And the answer is - it's a bit tight but close enough. Sorry for the crappy pic but it's all you're gettingNgl with that hair and face shape you could pull of a pretty sick Postal Dude cosplay.Show Image(https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)

Ngl with that hair and face shape you could pull of a pretty sick Postal Dude cosplay.I had never heard of this character but having looked him up you're right, only slight issue is my beard will not cover the front of my chin but it's close enough. Oh and it would have to be cold - no way I'm wearing a trench coat otherwise (https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)
I'm always super jealous of all the styles women get to choose from, and the men's section is like 1/6th the size with all the same boring ****.
Honestly I've bought women's sleepwear, robes, and jackets(super nice leather jacket for $60!) just because the price was right and they were super nice. You haven't truly lounged around the house until you've lounged around the house in satin-lined velvet pants.
