Question for the board regarding
Air Jordan gear. I received my order and I'm a little disappointed in th sizing. The material, look and feel is great, but everything seems to run a little small. Sorry if this was posted and addressed, and it's nothing an exchange won't fix, but it's still a little bit of a inconvenience. Anyone else find this to be the case?

It's because of the child workers.
I laughed. Out loud.
I tried to ask them but their handlers wouldn't let them answer.

From the looks of your avatar, you should be used to things running small.
runs smaller than it used to. We live in the age of skinny jeans and dress pants that are worn so tight they leave little to the imagination. I can't find a suit that does not cut off my circulation. I have been the same size for 30 years and have gone from wearing "medium" items fairly comfortably to large and often extra large.
You should get your suits tailored.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it kind of sounds like you've grown out of "medium" items.
really man. I may be 5 pounds heavier than I was ten years ago, but clothes are being made smaller. This is not my imagination nor have I put on a lot of weight.
have time for all of that. And, while I work in a "formal dress" profession, I rarely have to go full suit so it is not worth it for me. I wear suits baggy anyway, "Pacino suits" if you will. So I really just have two trusty ones that do the job. (I have gone and looked "off the rack" though just to see what a new one would run me and the natural fit of a suit is different now. Perhaps not the actual by the numbers size but they are less roomy. I get that is the common style now).

are probably right.
I think we've just have gotten fatter as a country in general. If you look at clothes from the 70's and 80's (even the 90's to some extent), they were all on the more form fitting side.
give you visual evidene of the "shrinkage" of clothes. I have done side by side comparisons with golf shirts from ten years ago against the current models being made. They are smaller. I am not denying that the USA is pretty fat in general, but companies are designing clothes smaller. A large shirt is not the same size as it used to. "Triple X-large" is what an X-large used to be.
It's both. In the 90s and early 2000s, the style was bigger and baggier, and I'm sure there was a little "vanity sizing" mixed in. Today, the style has swung towards tighter fitting stuff--and yes this is closer to more of 80s and early 90s tailored fit for stuff. That plus the fact that we are truly fatter than we were 20 yeras ago, means we get a little surprised by the sizing of things. And it is even more of a shock for those of us who have been buying their own clothes since the "baggy days". The younger generation might not notice so much.

I have the same issue with some shirts. I'm 46 and been wearing XL since I was 18, but lately I have to get some shirts in XL tall and I'm only 6'. Not in the same shape I used to be. Don't want people seeing my belly.

Would you say they're 2 legit 2 quit?
Well, that means my head is shrinking.
My past few New Era orders have landed here too large when I've ordered my standard size.
Not jean waist bands.
I measured some old (1990's) 32" waisted jeans.... 32"
I measured several new pairs of 32" waisted jeans... they measured from 34"-37"
Same brand and style? In my experience sizing varies wildly between brands and even within the same brand by style.
Remember that episode of M*A*S*H when Hawkeye and BJ switch and alter Winchester's clothes, causing him to think he was losing, then gaining weight? And the end of the show, they said they were planning to make Winchester think he was getting taller, then shorter ...
I tell my wife I'm Large too. Sometimes things are smaller than you'd like.
OBJECTS ON THIS BLOG ARE LARGER THAN THEY APPEAR
Smaller?
Nike polos I've found I've needed a large in but when ordering drifit shirts, they are too small.

I found the difference between the large Nike and the large Jordan to be pretty big in the shorts department. The Nike shorts are loose and comfortable on me where the Jordan ones are tight.
Jordan has always been a little more snug, in my opinion -- just how the brand sizes.
but I usually have to get a size up in his shoes.
you have to move on to the cheap cuts. Which is fine with me, because I like those.
