I'm up to 2XL and I've outgrown my favorite T-shirt from college.
Actually, I outgrew it quite some time ago since it was a large. It's Christmas and I want to treat myself, should I plan on losing weight for a New Years resolution or buy a new one that fits?
Have any of you guys experienced similar trama? Especially if any of you are too small for your old favorite T...I'd like to find out how.
Currently, my next most favorite is a 2XL USSA T-shirt...so I'm not in complete withdrawal.
-
My favorite is one I bought some years ago, and was already approaching 2x. It too is a college jock t-shirt, big, simple lettering, marked XXX etc.
It's for the Electoral College athletic department.
Think about it . . . .
I bought it after the 2000 election when Hitlery was running around claiming she was going to do away with the Electoral College after AlBore was denied his rightful place as president by that pesky Electoral College.
-
Buy the shirt.
I like 2x myself. (a 'little' floppy ;) )
I would bet ya Jaybet doesn't wear the same as he did in high school. Just look at the age of some of us old farts. :)
Don't know why but for some reason I think of Bogan as a skinny dude. (can't explain it, just the way it is.)
-
Buy the shirt.
Haz, I think you are exactly right....the alternative is too horrible to ponder. Yep some of us are balloon boys and others are twigs...there is no justice in it...the twigs can usually eat mass quantities, not gain weight and don't really care about food whereas us balloon boys love to eat and a whiff of pie get's us another pound or two.
Geoff....you saying you wear 3X now or just that you like the shirts floppy? ;D :D 8)

T-shirts shrink over time, so naturally you have to keep replacing them with bigger and bigger shirts. I'm up to 2X... 3 if they are sitting right there because it feels good to wear a floppy T. Bad news is, I wear WAY bigger stuff than I did when I got married. The good news is, I'm built exactly like my old man was, so I have an excuse. What's YOUR excuses?
-
My excuse...I love food. ;D

Global warming and that damn closet moisture.

TIme and the toxins slowly released by biscuits and gravy put me up to XXXL.
I have lost over 100 lbs and an XXL is loose on me.
"FIRE CONGRESS" will be my next T-shirt. :D

With pizza places like you have down there I'm amazed you aren't going to Omar the tent maker ;)

If I remember correctly from the "whatcha look like" thread (which I can't find) Tom was compared to Harry Potter.
I don't think that was entirely accurate. Tom makes Harry look like Hulk Hogan. ;D

Bogan weighs about 160, unless he's only 4ft tall, he's a skinny dude....... :D
Me, I'm tall enough to not show my bulk but I'm working on dropping about forty pounds. In my own defense, it ain't easy to workout with all my medical maladies but I'm trying....
2XL-T for me and I do like 'em big....
-
There are a lot of custom t-shirt shops on the internet... you can get anything written on them and can upload any photo..... some Gadsden flag tees with our CCWs on them would make great tees:

There is a pic of him floating around here somewhere
-
Yes, I'm 5'8" and 160, Most of it is in my gut since I've been sitting around for nearly a year :(
still wear large T shirts though so they cover my 1911 ;D

1911.................So THAT'S what you call him. ;D

I'm underheight for my weight.

I have a grammar question that relates to the very essence of this forum. Brother Haz said in his comment, "...I are fat." And, because Haz is my best friend and I spend a lot of time with him, I wouldn't dare to disagree. He are fat! But, when, or at what point does one's increasing girth allow one to use the plural of I and refer to oneself as "we?" Has Haz reached the point where he could accurately say, "WE is fat."? I mean, there is a lot of Haz. And he has been frequently referred to as a group even when he is all by himself. (I always thought that was just because of the voices.) Or, alternatively, would another of us need to be near him for him to accurately say, "We is fat."?
I guess it really doesn't make a heckuva load of difference since many of us gentlemen of a certain age have begun purchasing larger sizes.
Personally, I think the clothing companies are guilty of putting the wrong labels on t-shirts. There's no way I should need an XL to cover my diminutive frame.
-
Personally all belly/no ass 1xl ;D

What!!!!??? ?
Its like an energizer bunny talking out of control.. ( or a blond after she drinks too many dirty martini's??) :-[

;D
Its not fair.. !! You guys can say what sizes you are and its so acceptable.. ( of course I like ya with some meat and bulk on on ya" ;) ) Good thing cause when Marshal come over here 5 yrs ago.. he was a size medium shirt.. ( after Teresa and her cooking he is now a 'healthy' XL... LOL
I don't think I want to start on how much my body has changed since college or even since I was 50! I'm working on it now.. but I'm not even close to looking like I "used to"..
I've gone up one size.. (plus a little more) :-\ Thats all I'm saying..
So sad... :(
-
it's a little known fact that as you age gravity increases it's effect on your body, you are really the same weight that you were back in High School. As far as clothing sizes go it's all a commie plot to make us feel bad about how fat we got to keep us from fighting the commie (or zombie) hoards... ;D ;D

So you are saying he has dicky do disease. His belly sticks out farther than his dicky do.

never really had a favorite t shirt, but iv been wearing the same remington hat for about 7 months now.

Ken (!!!!!), it was Haz who mentioned "floppy", although I don't know if he was referring to the shirt or himself! ;D
-
For once I only THOUGHT the thoughts and didn't say anything.. LOL

All depends on where that "one size" gets added, Darlin' ;)
-
Path, I ain't goin' down that path with Haz....whatever it is he probably needs one big enough to cover his carry and an extra clip or two.
Oh my, did I say clip, clip, clip, clip, clip ?
-
I would just like to thank everybody for the visuals in my head now.... :o
-
My favorite T-shirt is a 3XL and long enough to cover my butt crack. Most of my shirts aren't that long.
-
I wish more people would just say "No to Crack" :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

Hang on to your secrets M'ette. However, I just want to plant a thought in your pretty little blond head: After 15 years in this occupation I can announce your correct and honest size to the world with one little hug ... remember worry about that next time I wrap my arms around you ;)

Well with any luck of diligence on my part with my trying to lose weight... maybe there won't be as much to hug.. ;)
And you "announce " anything and ........and........well ?... I don't know what I will do.. but I'll think of something..and it won't be pretty.. LOL

I wish more people would just say "No to Crack" Say no to GLOCK :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D
When you bend over and everyone can see your "cleavage" You really don't need to reinforce the tragedy with an ugly gun. ;D
Besides, I know glocks are tough, but IWB carry and that kind of exposure is just too much for the polymer frame to handle. :P

Here's my latest favorite T-shirt, for OBVIOUS reasons. I know, I'm OBVIOUS. I can't make it any more OBVIOUS, but for some reason, OBVIOUSLY, I like this T shirt. XXL is my favorite size, as it allows for that time-tested shrinkage to occur without revealing my OBVIOUS curves and other less obvious attributes.

OBVIOUSLY in the spirit of full disclosure I have some OBVIOUS interest in seeing these proliferate all over the free world and into third world nations where electricity is a reasonably common utility.

Cool shirt! ;D
I see yer discriminating against us 'full figured' guys. ;)

We have a lot of money invested in attaining this zoftig nature. Let's see a little respect.
Or, as one large-sized comic used to say in his act, "I'm not fat. I'm fluffy!"
