BIG and TALL

I would like to take a moment and convey to all you "normal sized" people out there, that this is something you should not take for granted. 

Everyone tells me that they wish they were my size; oh the advantages.  The things they could reach.  The strength they would posses.  The time they would spend in the gym.

Not to complain but in a contrasting view there are indeed some disadvantages.  Bumping your head on things; movie theaters are interesting (thank God for the handicap seats); or being comfortable in any mode of transportation public or private.

Today's gripe is the result of coming up empty while searching for a new jacket.  Having been an above average size for many years now I am accustom to having to seek out the big and tall sections.  With normal sizes ending in XL one would think that the Big and Tall section would include something other than XXL.  One mall, two stores and an outlet center produced only one garment brandishing the 3X size.

I guess there is no choice but to shop on line and roll the dice when it comes to the perfect fit.

  1. Try looking online for specialty shops in your area. You may have to travel a bit but I'm sure there are places around. Find out where the N.E. Patriots shop. Even if you have to shoot an email to the PR office, they could probably recommend a few places.
