Where Are These Extra Small Men?

[Glassman]

Since when has there been a market for XS men?

[Jasandjules]

I can't see many men admitting to being extra small...................

I'm 31, 29" waist trouser fall down on me and I weigh 9 stone! Still I wear a "small" when it comes to clothes!

I wouldn't know. It seems a lot of times, those sizes are all there is left on the shelves. In some shops...

most places with XS size are the places where the clothes are cut very generously.

Far East probably.

Maybe it's cleverly marketed at older teenagers.

Guinness & pies are your way forward.

I spotted XS size in Next last weekend & couldn't help but think the same. Surely no man would go up to the counter with that size would they?

I dont know about XS but next time youre in a clothes shop you can really cause confusion by asking for XM (Extra Medium) confuses the hell out of them, some even go looking for them FFS.....

[KaraK]

why wouldn't someone buy XS if that was their size? Since when was it embarrassing not being a fat-ass?

A friend of mine has XS size clothes.
He's 5ft 6, but with a tiny frame and not much on it, so he has a 34" chest (at most), a 26" waist, and weighs about 6st something.
Even small size clothes just hang off him and it's something of a struggle to find clothes that fit really well.

Christ, they are some statistics. He needs to eat.

Mothercare might be up his street!

I agree, my son who's 7, weighs nearly 6 stone and there isn't a pick on him

Don't qualify for XS, but S in underpants sometimes, because I've a @32" waist, but tend to go with M because of too tight in the joy department.

But I have a 40/42" Chest, so Shirts have to be large.

Jumpers perversely S often enough, because I've found generic ones to be way to long in the arm.

Jackets have to be tailored, or otherwise they flap around me like a tent.

in short @ 5'11 and around 13 stone I can shop small, and large

[anonymous-user]

yeah, ideally i'd have underwear in S too, but I have to go to those special shops for obese people because otherwise they are too tight where it counts,

seriously... i don't get where the 'badness' is with buying clothes in a small size?

[anonymous-user]

XS seems to be size people wear if they want the tight fit look! Think 18 year old Top Man Victims!
