I'm not trying to be nasty or horrible or put you or anyone down in anyway here, but if you cant fit into the standard sizes should you maybe not seek some professional help to help you get a bit healthier? I used to be 19 stone (120KG) and with some lifestyle changes I dropped to 12 stone (76KG, took a few years and dedication though) I seeked professional help from my doctor, along with a gym instructor/personal trainer which helped me out when I was struggling with my weight.

I don't want to be "that guy" but it honestly changed my life for the better and I have never looked back since and I tell my story to hopefully inspire folk to get healthier for their futures 😊

"Standard sizes" shouldn't matter. "Standard sizes" shouldn't make it so companies don't release bigger sizes when they literally created the larger sizes for EU as well.

Also it's not only for fat people, taller people as well can't fit into these sizes necessarily.

And coming in when people are just genuinely annoyed and saying "lose weight" is "being that guy" even if you mean no harm or not.

I was about to type out some big long spiel but at the end of the day I get the frustration as a former big guy, but at the same time If i was still in that position i wouldn't want companies to keep creating bigger and bigger sizes basically encouraging people to not be healthy...

That's not the thing though. They're not creating bigger and bigger sizes. They literally released 4XL in EU but only 2XL in UK.... it's quite literally just locking off some from the UK for basically no reason.

[spare latch]

Ah, that I did not know, I thought everywhere was 2XL, my apologies as I was under the assumption EU and UK were both 2xl

[valid isle]

Nono EU is just getting 2 sizes larger for what seems to be no reason what so ever. Which is the shit part

[spare latch]

Ah apologies I thought this post was meaning to create like a 5xl 6xl and 7xl type of deal. Not that uk wasn't getting the 3xl and 4xl option, apologies.

I mean that can also fall under this, yeah. As there are some that need that size

[spare latch]

I will be saying no more about this as I appreciate its a delicate subject

1000% agree it makes no sense to offer larger sizes elsewhere but not the uk, plus I don’t want anyone telling me how to lose weight or assuming anything as people have enough issues without. Being body shamed. I have medical reasons for being this weight it’s not always about the weight it’s about buying bigger sizes to fit for example a giant mass I have going on which makes me look pregnant plus I’m 5.9 so larger sizes are better to accommodate that as well

Just gonna nip this in the bud, whilst intentions might have been there the way it came across wasn't helpful in this thread.

Discussions regarding the OG thread topic are still welcomed

Lucky a Mod replied.. Cuz I'd of probably been kicked out the group with my reply to all that 😑

[valid isle]

Kept it as polite as i could

[misty stag]

Same as my inner Glaswegian was wanting to come out 😂

Figure I'll address this once here and we can leave it at that.

We're not locking people out, or discriminating against certain sizes. What would we gain from doing so?

If a size isn't in stock with a supplier, how can we offer that size? We can't. This isn't a choice we are making because we want to, it's just the way it is.

Historically we've had good coverage of sizes, sometimes certain sizes will be out of stock in some regions, that's not something we plan or decide we want to be the case. It's just a downside of using a made to order model. Large is the most popular size but that wasn't available for the Unreleased hoodie, for example.

I get it's annoying, it's hopefully something we can solve with the perm merch range (more on this soon), but for now, trying to claim that we're discriminating against you because of the size hoodie you wear isn't the one. So any further claims like this will be deleted.
