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?

    All we need is a Superman 3-style plot to collect all the extra inches of fabric at the midsection and we’ll be rich, rich I tell you!
