Big man clothing
fitting good clothing.

Why its so hard to find fitting big man clothing?

The answer is not a big secret.

Measurement system

Each hole in your belt is about an inch.

This corresponds with roughly 2% more/less body weight on a average weight person.

The holes in belts do not change for big people! but in percentages this "weight" distance is only 1% of our weight.

This means that with just 1% weight loss or gain we either grow out of our clothing, or have "loose" fit clothing.

Bigger people vary in percent's, just as much weight as regular people. The varying weight happens to be bigger than the sizing bandwidth.

Jo Jo ing weights

And yes, We do jo jo significant with our weight. Most big people vary an easy 20 pounds weight loss or gain per year. That is outside the sizing range as well.

Washing too hot

Its a Non argument, but clothing does shrink in the washing machine.

Self image

Looking trough your own eyes, you do not see that you are overweight.

Millions of overweight people literally ignore the fact that they are overweight. A lot of us tend to avoid mirrors.

It appears that a self-image is always a little better than reality, hence people buy too tight clothing.

Or simply buy the clothing they were used to buy 15 years ago.

Time does not stand still.
