Put your random gripes here!

Dear clothing makers,
When I purchase a long sleeve shirt, I want the sleeves long. If I wanted a 3/4 length shirt, I would have purchased one. Why is it that the xl long sleeve shirts have sleeves long enough, but the mediums have shorter sleeves? The length of my arm remains the same as does my height regardless if I'm a medium or an xl. I'm a medium, by the way and would like longer sleeves.

Also, if I must purchase a size medium-tall (which is silly cause I'm 5'7), please have more colors available than just white, black, and navy blue. A splash of color is nice every once in a while.
 
LOL! I absolutely hate cloths shopping. I'm a tall guy.....6'4" and it's a nightmare. Especialy trying to by jeans. not everyones 34 is a 34.....it's like some of them were made in China and in China a 34 is like a 26. I always go pull one off the rack thinking they're gonna fit and then I can barley squeeze in them. Or I finaly get the waist and the length right....and the fuckers are too tight in the thighs.

Yeah.....cloths shopping sucks!

im almost 6-3 and i feel the problem. i hate how most places now carry mostly skinny type jeans or the stupid stone wash

i have to spend $100+ for good, comfy jeans
 
You tall guys might have problems but the shorter guys do too!

I have to buy 5-6 t shirts before I find one that fits right after a wash cycle. So buy 6 and donate 5 to end up with 1!

When they are wide enough to fit my chest they are usually way too long!

This is where we come to rant right??

Hah so true, 5'10 255 and XXL shirts hang to my mid thigh, ridiculous. So I buy XLs and hope I can stretch them out enough to not look like I sprayed them on. And don't even start on shorts and pants... fucking 33" waist but I have to buy 36s or sometimes even 38s to fit my thighs because every fucking clothes maker thinks all guys just got off the set of Twilight.

Suit coats also are physically impossible to buy off the rack (sleeves do not get any bigger than 17/18"s around), big and tall just means for fat people in my experience... oh well it keeps a tailor employed. :D

fuck yeah man!! WTF is it with skinny jeans man? shit is rediculous!
 
I love skinny jeans... on girls. I have quite a few pairs. I usually do not mind spending money on clothes. I love to shop, the problem is I don't know when to stop.

Now for my son.... WTF!? The girls section is 5xs larger, almost everything for boys is sports related, especially when they are babies. I want to open a clothes store dedicate just for baby boys and toddlers. NO GIRLS ALLOWED, haha. Maybe I will give them 1 rack in the whole store. Or name it the Lil Rascal's He-Mans Woman Clothing Hater's Club. HAHA! I love Pumpkin Patch for boys clothes and all of them over here just closed down!
 
My hubby is 6'5 and clothes shopping for him is also hell. He's a 36 x 36 in pants and they end up super tight in his thighs as well. Don't get me started on shirts for him.......
 
I'm a chick that hates shopping for clothes! Inseam is 34 and if I don't shop at tall girls where I am considered short, I cant find any in the regular stores. I have to get XL shirts to fit the girls, then the damn shirt is to big everywhere else. Arm length... argh. I have long monkey arms. I'm lucky to find ANY long sleeve that fits at my wrist and not above them. Most of my shirts/blouses are sleeveless or 3/4 length. Long legs, long arms, big boobs....kind of sounds like an octopus. LOL
 
I have to buy pants at least one size larger in the waist to fit my ass and upper thighs so I always have to wear a belt!

Now if a girl said those exact same things to me I would probably have to take her out for ice cream!
