If I only had a brain...

Anyway, to get the inseam, you just steal a pair of jeans that fit. Properly fitting a shirt is much harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why don't you steal a shirt that fits?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Tim's pants are like hip hop pants. They're eight sizes too big. He should get gold caps on his teeth and say shit like, "Peace out, word to your mother."

Nuff making fun of Tim's clothes. He hasn't taken the hint and sent his shirt size.

"Peace out, word to your mother."

Yes, Tim is really Vanilla Ice.

I'm not going to be able to stop giggling at that.

ita, because most men don't wear shirts that fit. They wear shirts that are something like "medium" and the collar and sleeve length are very very approximate.

Really? If you grab a shirt (not button down, but you know what I mean) they're sized that way? Why in hell do they keep lording sizing specifics over my gender again? When it's come to my father and other guys whose closets I've been familiar with they've certainly had shirts sized by neck and sleeve measurements.

But if Tim doesn't even wear pants that fit, it's all moot, and Allyson can call off the midnight raid.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Hooray, the mens clothing thread is back in action.

Buy him the shirt and give him a gift receipt. Done deal. Make him work for it.

This is because the guys you're familiar with have necks like oxen and pectorals to match.

Yes, my father wears Brooks Brothers, too. But you sure do see a lot of "Medium" and "Large" men's shirts in the stores.
