This INFURIATES ME. Its so awful that you can be discriminated against for taking care of yourself and maintaining a healthy weight. Even though I'm lucky enough to work an active job that's tough for hams we still hire fatties for much needed diversity, and I'm lucky if the size SMALL t-shirts (my only option- they don't offer us XS or XXS) don't entirely engulf the upper 2/3 of my body. I feel your pain.
My bar has a lot of big guys, some fit, some not, and so when they ordered t-shirts they ordered TONS of XXL, XL, and L, and only 5 small in each color. I got the last small and it's still pretty loose. They ran out of XXL on the first day too.
Seems like you are from Canadia. I guess those xxs are larger than in Europe because xxs is so small the grown woman nextdoor at 1,48m does not fit in it.
What? I am saying xxs is for really petite frames. There is a borderline midget behind me that wears xs, she is 1,48 and not fat, xs shoul be about up to 1,6m iirc.
You really have no idea how big smalls and extra smalls can be on tiny people. Yeah, I'm sure there's vanity sizing but jesus they can be big no matter what western country you are from. It's why I like Asian sizing so much more.
Average store here I have L or XL if the sleeves are on the shorter end while in US I had to find S or M at the most. Cannot imagine Canadia being that much different. If I had to fit in an XXS here that would not work.
I am 6'2 and quite diminutive, 5'6 is not big. In fact you may want to scrap that "DefiniteIy", though I do not know what is considered big or medium there.
Canadian checking in. I'm 5'7" & 126 pounds and I fit into a Small or X-Small at some stores, and other stores I'm a Medium. My sister is 5'9" and 125 pounds, the last dress she bought at Le Chateau (chain of women's & men's dress clothes & office wear) was a size XX-Small. So I guess it just depends on the store.
