Ahh, whatever, just sew a bunch of fabric together, those fat bastards are too lazy to care how they look." I would probably wear more 2XL stuff if they would actually give it some taper and shape in the midsection.

Just because we're bigger doesn't make us lazy and blah about our appearance. It sucks.

Thanks to everyone for the commiseration, I am really looking forward to knowing that I can walk into ANY store and find something in my size. Most stores run pants up to 40, now when I fit into XL, I will be good to go.
Not all 2xl guys are alike. I can wear 2xl shirts, but not the so-called "athletic cut". Let's face it, the reason 2xl shirts billow is that the average man who needs a 2xl has a sizable midsection. Like The Historian.
