He said that he's not a bodybuilder, just that he's one of the many "'stouter' folks of the USA." He mentioned chest and shoulders, but not unusual height proportions. I have a hard time believing that something from a maker like Twin Six wouldn't fit him the way it should. I haven't measured my thighs, but they're not skinny - even race-cut T6 bibs are no problem and their more casual bibs have a lot more stretch to give (I actually don't like them that much because they don't provide enough compression for me).
