    You can wear kids clothes. Giants can't.

    Therefore, more market share towards the big and tall.

    While that's true, What MAN of my age really wants to wear 'kids' clothes. I'd LOVE to be able to go out and buy a nice suit or since I'm in Las Vegas, a decent TUX. Neither of those are happening unless I have them altered. My whole point is that the 'Big/Tall' shops wouldn't exist unless someone bitched about there not being any.
    I mean... FUCK! I don't WANT Ninja turtle undies!!!!!

    ... and all this time, I thought I was alone on the planet!

    We should all boycott the clothes industry (weather permitting).

    That is the genius of capitalism. If you think the market exists, start one.

    The thing is there are clothes for "regularly" shaped people. Before you beat me up over that regular part, allow me to elaborate. Most people are certain sizes and if you do not fit the age bracket and size of the majority of these people, like everyone here is complaining, then the companies don't produce clothes for you, because they cab't "waste" money on making clothes for the minority or the population. You just have to shop around, aimlessly, like the rest of us clothing misfits :( I shop at Korean stores because I have a small frames but I am too old to wear "little kid "clothes. Someone who is my age and bigger (no names), he has to shop at adult stores because of his size. Until someone comes out with a stores to accomadate us, we're lost to find our own clothes.

    I understand that. I'm 6ft. 230lbs (that's 2 meters and 104.5 stone for our UK brothers and sisters) with broad shoulders. I have been in a B&T place and felt unconfortable. I was working a semi-corporate job and wanted to look nice for clients (hawaiian shirts and such that still reflected my life), but I felt like a petite looking for clothes there. It was weird.

    Now I get my clothes at a thrift store or have my wife make me some clothes.

    There are many fine stores that would be happy to serve you. Patric James comes to mind. If you are in wonderful LV you should have quite a selection to choose from. Better quality clothes last longer and look better while they last than do cheap clothes anyway.

    'cides what is wrong with Ninja Turtle underwear?

    You can fit comfortably into smaller cars too.
