The Great Size Divide: Why XXL and 2XL Are Not the Same

Image
It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as ready-to-wear clothing: you grab what you think is your size, only to find it either swimming on you or restricting your every move. This confusion is amplified when we delve into the seemingly interchangeable world of XXL and 2XL. Many shoppers, and even some retailers, use these terms synonymously, but a closer look reveals a subtle yet significant difference that can make or break your wardrobe choices. The core of the discrepancy lies in the sizing conventions adopted by different manufacturers and for different types of clothing. Generally, XXL is an extension of standard alpha sizing (S, M, L, XL), while 2XL often signifies a true "plus" or "big and tall" size. "I used to just assume they were the same," admits Sarah Jenkins, a 34-year-old marketing professional. "I'd order an XXL t-shirt online, and sometimes it would fit perfectly, and other times it would be ridiculously small, like a r...

I haven't felt like blogging this month as you can probably tell and although I had a few ideas to put a few posts in before the month is out, I just couldn't be bothered. This post is just to tell Robert Marshall to stop being a dick and get your own email address. Dude, have you wondered why your eBay account hasn't been confirmed yet?

Are people really that stupid to say, "Yeah, my MSN address is , add me and we'll chat!"?

Is this for real..?

An article on the Times website is saying that apparently, The Sims has a sociable future... The Sims prepare for a sociable future - Times Online I left a comment, but since there's a chance it won't be seen or approved (I didn't use my proper name and email in the form), here is the reply I left.. Is this from a recent source? Like, as in today? Have they (EA) completely forgotten about The Sims Online or as it was supposed to be relaunching as, EA Land? This makes no sense at all, yes there was news not so long ago about EA aquiring some kind of social team, but if they think that The Sims never had an online presence, they're very much mistaken. The Sims Online has been running since late 2002 and is still running now until August 1st when EA are closing it down, apparently due to funds not being available for the next fiscal year. Are gamers being fobbed off with usual corporate rubbish? What EA doesn't realise is that the future of social mmo's like The Si...
