Well, I did ask if it were African or European, which is an appropriate MPHG question

Owen had the correct reply.
That is why I am a Steward- my mad Monte Python skills.
Ftfy"Why do most of the models in the fashion layouts lately appear to be wearing their little brother's cloths?"
Because, for some reason, the fashion industry thinks we like stick women
"I'll expand on that question. Why are mens cloths sizes not uniform. e.g. XL made in "***" is smaller the made in "***"
no need to name countries, I think you get the idea."
I have always wondered that. It is like there is no standard sizes. Heck, even with shoes, the size depends on where they were made.
"This thread looks to be similar to the old ask Ouch thread."

Je suis Ouch
Two different issues at play there. First, there's the geographic differences, in that ... um ... North Americans are fat. Er, I mean 'big boned". Clothing made for the Asian market has about a one-size-difference on the sizes (if you buy a "large" when shopping in Chicago or Vancouver, you buy an "extra-large" in Tokyo or Manila.
Second, there's "brand style" issues, where one brand wants to position itself as selling "youthful" or "fashionable" clothing (which nowadays means "skinny" while others take a more relaxed "your beer gut has nothing to fear" approach. If I buy a suit from Tom Ford, I know a 42R will fit me well ... but a 42R from Thom Browne will be ludicrously undersized ... 'cause Tom Ford is sane and Thom Browne is nuts.

And we are all together goo-goo-ga-choo!

One issue I've had is shoe sizes. I wear a 15--mostly. Some brands i wear a 14. I have never worn a 16. Now, my feet haven't changed size since high school. I can only assume the shoes have.

I hear you with shoes/boots. For years I wore cheap boots. I have wide feet, so I always had to jump up a size or two. Then I went to the Red Wing store and got boots that actually fit- a 10.5 EE. Best footwear decision I ever made. With tennis shoes I always go New Balance- I can always find a wide width when I go for a new pair.
Somehow I missed this. Congratulations, Owen! Well deserved.

Well, I do enjoy my pipe.
If a taco falls in an empty restaurant does it still make a noise?
Hey I just bought some shoes from the company that made all the boots for the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Owen if you have hobbit feet maybe I could hook you up with them.
No, because it never hits the floor, it teleports to the Mod Cave where a dilligent Steward catches it.
Smoke weed is what got Hobbits in trouble in the first place.
My bad, Chris is the one with hairy Hobbit feet.
