What the hell is wrong with the clothing industry!

I'm not a huge guy and I like my shirts fitting a little tighter, but no matter where I go to buy clothes there's ALWAYS a very limited amount of small sized shirts. No matter what. It's not fair. I get so pissed off because there's always a TON of XL shirts... This may be just me, but the majority of people I know are nowhere even close to needing an XL sized shirt. I'm not saying that bigger people don't need shirts, but 90% of the time stores are overstocked on L's or XL's, even M's and very few or no smalls. I just felt the need to have a small rant... I don't know if anyone else ever noticed this or has this problem. And yes, literally every store I go to has issues with a lack of small sizes. Every single one.

I have the same problem. I can never find a shirt small enough to show off my muscles.

Dude when I used to live in Japan, nothing pissed me off more than to find something I really like, but in XXXL size. Like who heck does this fit?

Thankfully I'm big enough for that to be a non-issue. :D

thats cause everyone buys the small ones and nobody buys the huge ones, so there are less small ones.

Tight clothes are in style, so your stuff is getting jacked by the XL crowd. Personally I can't wear tight clothes so I normally have an abundance to choose from.

youre not the only one that uses that shirt size, so other people go before you and buy the size youre looking for, so all thats left are XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXXL, >9000L, and blankets with the shirt design...8-Bitterness

I can't wear shirts anymore. I'm so ripped that they rip on me every time I move my muscles. :(

if you think that is bad, try shopping for a 3- or 4-XLT

I like my shirts loose fitting, but lately, whenever I go to buy a new shirt, I got to try it on, and it fits tight on me. I actually bought on because it fit comfortably for me, washed it, it probably shrank a size or two. I'm still wearing shirts that I've worn for the last 4 or so years because they are comfortable for me.

Its actually quite the opposite of what you think. You have a very common clothing size making those sized shirts pretty popular. The XXXXXL are very very rare so theres always a bunch left cause no one buys em.Candy-Star

Yeah a lot of the shirts I like are always in L and I never can find them in M. :x

Try Zumiez or pacsun.

I appreciate the amount of XLs and XXLs because I'm fairly tall (6'4") with a naturally large build. But what's really ridiculous about clothes nowadays are "pre-ripped" jeans. Sometimes they go for upwards of $50-100 but you can get a $6 pair and rip them with a box cutter.

I swear, its the most ingeniously devious marketing technique since the pet rock.

"I'm not a huge guy and I like my shirts fitting a little tighter, but no matter where I go to buy clothes there's ALWAYS a very limited amount of small sized shirts. No matter what. It's not fair"

Thats all I read..
I'm 5'5 125lbs with a small frame for the most part and I need small shirts.
Problem is alot of shirts from cheaper places, their clothes arent fitted, so the top may fit, but the waist line thingy of the shirt is like 5 times bigger than my damn waist so the shirt is more hanging on me than anything else -_-;

So i'm doomed to buying shirts for 20$+ at places like Hot Topic, which I guess I dont mind that part

Yeah.. I dont get the obession with wearing tighter unless your a chick. Imo, okay thats my opinion dont mean anything. Just order online or go to swap meet,

thats the way to dodge it, best of yet just get fatter therefore you reach the realms of M/L. I think the reason why S always runout is that kids also buy it andfemale who are more likely to buy clothes whereas XL/+ are more likely to be just dudes. I gotta admit I never seen small laying around much.
