    Default Why the helll can't i find clothing in my size?

    I'm getting tired of this and it's not like i'm a freak of nature.

    I'm 6'1 and 185 lbs and yet it is impossible to find 32x32 pants or size 11 1/2 shoes.

    Pants sizes shoot from 30x32 to 34x32 or even 36x32 and forget buying shoes.

    5 years ago it would take some digging but it wasn't impossible to find those sizes now no one carries them.


    Do i have to find some kind of specialty store now and if so who?

    Get your clothes professionally altered?

    Which is not a possibilty considering that all the smaller shops that did that shut down around here and the only alternatives are mass market stores.

    I mean what the fudge!

    I'm not overly fat or skinny so why is it so hard to find clothing that fits?

    Hey Silly, I got problems as well, but for different reasons.

    I am 6ft 6, and no where sells longer than 34inch length pants, it is ridiculous.
    I also have the same shoe problem, can't get any size 12's or 13's anywhere.

    Though 32x32 is weird.. why not just get 34x32 and wear a belt?

    For pants sizes, the problem is not your size, but your style. Baggy is still more popular.

    11 1/2 is an average size, I'm guessing the problem is the stores run out of it, not that they don't stock it.

    34x34 here, shoe size 12 here. I have the same problem with pants, not so much on the shoes.

    Man. A lot of you guys are physical freaks. Scary stuff, hanging around on this forum with you people.


    Anyways, for the dude who can't find a 32x32 size: it's a very common fit, that's why stores don't always have 'em. They run out fast.

    I'm surprised you can't find square pants; this whole country is square..

    I'm the guy who should have a hard time; they don't sell Odd-numbered waist sizes in wallmart or Sears (I'm a 31x34, but I have to wear 32x34)

    Are men with a 32" waist generally taller or shorter than a 32" inseam? I don't understand. I thought that size would be quite common.
