Anybody else 'odd' shaped
Discussion
I am a 34" waist - (36" after a week of eating junk food) and have MASSIVE things.
I claim this is from where I done kickboxing for 8 years - but really I know I just need to go for a run.
I find levi 511 fit really well - I have 5 pairs all with varying degrees of wear - eventually they get turned into shorts when too worn.
and with t shirt - yeah I can never find a t shirt that fits properly - either the back is too short and fits body fine, or its the right length but baggy up top.
so now im designing my own brand of gym clothes so that I can go and be comfortable - not self conscious - and hopefully help other people in the same situation find clothes that fit properly!

Not odd as in having three legs, but odd as in having clothes fit correctly.
I've never been the classic 34w -32l, when it comes to jeans- 32w slightly too tight, 34w slightly too large meaning a belt.
And even then, the belt holes are slightly off, so it's either hoiking them up every two minutes or feeling slightly pinched.
I even get the same with watch straps - no.4 hole slightly tight - no.5 hole sliding up and down like handcuffs on a skeleton.
Why don't they do size 33 or 35?
Is it just me who's weirdly proportioned?
Pfft, try having one inside leg 30" and the other 32"... I've never been the classic 34w -32l, when it comes to jeans- 32w slightly too tight, 34w slightly too large meaning a belt.

im overweight and short and most trouser makers assume if you have a bigger waist you must also be taller 
More recently i lost an inch from my waist (ongoing diet) and now i am a 39 inch waist.
No one mainstream makes trousers in a 39 so i can either still wear my clown trousers or have to breathe in all day with a 38.

Oh good, I hope I make it into the 'one for the spelling police' thread....again. 
Nah, you're okay.There was a thread a while back where some guy kept spelling it as kneck....can't remember why...also can't be bothered to search for it..
For the record.. 32" waist 34" leg.....so trousers are fine. 40" chest, regular length arms.....it's all good out there for me!
I would pay money (not much but some) to see some of you in a travelling show though!
I'm regulation 5' 10" - but have the legs of a someone 5' 4" and the torso of someone 6' 4".
My calves are 48cm around, trimmed down from 50cm and my thighs are MASSIVE (I cycle a lot). So I have to wear 38" wasited loose fit jeans, pulled tight with a belt to stop them falling off and with 4" taken off the bottom.
My head is huge, some of the cycle mags give away free beanie hats every year, but if I try to wear them I look like I'm on my way to Temple. When I have to buy a new Downhill Helmet choice is limited to say the least, sometimes it's a pain and the only one I can find is £300, sometimes it works in my favour when the shop has to dust off the humongalid from the back of the shop they assumed was some kind of over-sized salesmans sample and sell it for £25.
On top of that due to an accident my left arm is a little longer than it used to be due to plating, and my left arm is a little shorter because I lost the tip of my elbow, also my arm kinks to the right at the eblow and won't go straight, nor fold as far as it should.
My wife has never drescribed me as "a catch" ha ha.

This was the whole premise behind the store "Gap". They were meant to cover the gap sizes that no one else did. Somewhere along the line they abandoned this and just sell mostly the usual sizes.I am 6'5'' with a 6'8'' arm span so length of things can be hard. Places like CT Shirts, TM Lewin etc are good because they do longer sleeved shirts. Hawes and Curtis now do longer sleeves in their casual range too.
