As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I’ve found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most “Large” size clothing and need to buy more “Medium” sized clothing. I haven’t lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I’m aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.
Anyone else find sizes that “should” or “used to” fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn’t changed?

I’m a fat guy with a long torso. Due to ages and aches, I’ve crept up to a 4X which pains me. The thing that infuriates me is that every 4X seems to be very, very short. I don’t know if it’s a scaling issue with the patterns or they think everyone is a short fat fuck…
You need to look for big and tall.
I do, polos are often okay but I have visions of the 80’s T-shirt dresses when I try on a lot of LT style casual wear… 😂 I think my best option are some diet changes and getting back to biking…
