Here comes a rant! I have been holding back on this one for awhile. But, I have come to a point where I need to vent. It is hard enough to find decent clothes when you are built big. I can’t go down the street to the local shopping center because they just don’t have the sizes. I think there is one store locally that sells clothes and is generally way overpriced and most places just don’t sell anything over 2XL. As much as that sucks, it isn’t really a big problem. A few years ago I found a couple of places to buy from online. One being Casual Male and the other Being King Size Direct. Each one had different products that I liked. King size had some shorts and jersey knit pants that I really like wearing. They were built well and very comfortable. Casual Male sells shirts that I like as well as casual khakis. For the most part, the products from Casual Male have stayed the same. The quality is pretty good. But the stuff from King Size has had lower and lower quality each time I place an order.

Before summer started I ordered some new shorts. I had a few pair left from the year before, but I wanted a couple more. Now that summer is over I have already worn out the new shorts. The drop in quality from one year to the next really astounded me. The material in the new shorts had about half the weight as the older ones. That might be good in a sense that during summer you want less material on you. But not at the expense of a line of holes running down the seam of my ass. When you take a 350 pound man and put him on a chair with a thin layer of fabric between them, something is going to give and chances are it will not be the chair. Although I have taken out quite a few of them during the years. My point is, if you are manufacturing something for plus size people, don’t you think you should be making to for plus size people? That means more than just making big shorts. They need to be durable too and comfortable at the same time. The shorts I used to buy were like that. Although I am still buying the same item from the same place, they are not even close to being the same shorts. Don’t get me wrong. I still like King Size. They have a lot of products that are still good quality. I just wish they wouldn’t skimp when it came to the shorts and pants and probably many other items they sell. I noticed that the last time I ordered pants, they used the same lesser quality material and with winter right around the corner, I am going to be ordering a few more pair. This will be their last chance at saving me as a customer. If the quality is as low as the last time, I will be in search of a new place to buy those items.
