Hey guys, let’s cut to the chase—if you’re a guy who’s ever stared at a rack of men’s easy wear and thought, “Wait, is this all I can get?” you’re not alone. I’m the owner of a small, family-run supply business that specializes in everyday easy wear for men, and this is one of the questions we get all the time from guys stocking their brands or grabbing personal stock themselves. The short answer? Hell yeah, there are different sizes—way more than you might think at first glance. But let’s break this down, because it’s not just slapping “Small to 3XL” on a tag and calling it a day. We’ve spent years tweaking how we size our gear, and there’s actual science behind why one-size-fits-all (or even a basic 3-size range) falls flat. Easy Wear for Men
First, let’s talk about how men’s sizing used to work… or, let’s be real, still works for a lot of brands. Back in the day, most casual wear was made with a super “standard” male body in mind: 5’10”, 180 lbs, broad shoulders, a narrow waist. If you deviated even a little—short, lanky, stocky, big-boned, or anywhere in between—you either had to hunt for that “big and tall” section that always felt like an afterthought, or settle for something that either clung too tight in the chest or hung off your shoulders. For our easy wear, that’s non-negotiable. Easy wear isn’t just a “comfy” buzzword—it’s the stuff you wear to run errands, work from home, hit the gym after work, or even just lounge around. If it doesn’t fit right, it’s not easy. Period.
That’s why, about 8 years ago, we ditched the old “one chest measurement fits all” garbage and switched to a proportional sizing system for our core lines—think tees, joggers, flannels, and the layering pieces guys reach for every week. Let’s use tees as an example, since that’s the most common easy wear staple. We don’t just do S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. We split our sizes into two main groups for tops: Regular and Slim. Wait, no—wait, it’s way more specific than that. Regular covers guys who’ve got a balanced frame: shoulders that match their chest and waist, whether you’re 5’6” or 6’2”. Slim is for guys 5’4” to 5’9” with a trimmer build—no more buying a Small and having the sleeves drag to your knuckles because you’re short, or a Medium and having the torso stretch out because you’re broad-chested. Then we’ve got Big & Tall, which is not just “XL but longer.” We measure torso length, inseam, sleeve length, and even shoulder span separately for Big & Tall. A Big 2XL means the chest and waist are expanded like a regular 2XL, but the body is 3 inches longer and the sleeves are 2 inches longer than a regular 2XL. A Tall Medium means it’s the same chest/waist as a regular Medium, but the torso and sleeves are extended for guys who’re 6’3” and up—no more tees that end at your hips because you’re long-legged.
For bottoms, it’s even more detailed. Joggers, for example, have waist measurements that are not just “one size fits all” but also come with different rise options? Wait, yeah—we do that, too. A low-rise jogger for guys who don’t like their pants sitting at their hip bones, mid-rise for the classic fit, and high-rise for guys who prefer coverage (and let’s be honest, that’s way more guys than brands cater to). Then inseams: 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 inches. If you’re a guy who’s 6’5” and wears a 36 inseam, we’ve got that. If you’re a 5’2” guy who wears a 28 inseam, we’ve got that, too. We don’t cut corners here because our whole thing is easy wear—if your joggers don’t fit right, you’re gonna tug ’em up all day, and that’s not easy.
But here’s the part a lot of people don’t know: we didn’t just make this up. We worked with a local apparel sizing specialist a few years back to survey 1,200 men across all body types, ages 18 to 65, to figure out what sizes they actually needed. A lot of brands just use a size chart based on old 1950s military data, which doesn’t represent the modern male body at all. That survey told us that 62% of guys don’t fit into a “basic” S-3XL range—they’re either in-between sizes (like a medium-long or a large-short) or have specific proportional needs. So we adjusted our sizing to include those. We added X-Small for teen guys and guys with smaller frames that can’t even fit a Small—no more handing a teen a Medium that swallows ’em whole. We added 4XL and 5XL for big and tall guys who were being ignored by every other easy wear brand out there. We even added half sizes for some styles, like hoodies, because a lot of guys said a Large was too loose and a Medium was too tight.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: why do some brands act like sizes are limited? A lot of small suppliers, especially if they’re making stuff overseas, will only carry a few sizes because it’s cheaper to mass-produce the same size. But for us, we’re not about cutting costs at the expense of what our customers need. We know that retailers who stock our easy wear are catering to guys who walk into their stores or shop online and get frustrated when a popular brand only has two sizes. So we made the call to invest in a little extra inventory and multiple size patterns because it pays off. For example, last year, we sold more X-Small tees than we expected, so we ordered 30% more of them this year. We also saw a huge demand for high-rise joggers in Big & Tall sizes, so we expanded that line.
Wait, but does that mean every single style we make comes in every size? No, not exactly. For super casual, ultra-loose lounge wear, we might have a “one size relaxed” option for guys who love that slouchy fit, but even then, that style has a size range from S to 4XL. For more fitted easy wear, like performance tees for guys who work out, we stick to proportional sizes so you don’t get something that’s too tight across the shoulders or too baggy in the waist. And we’re always tweaking—just last month, we added a new size for flannels that’s designed for guys with broad shoulders and a trim waist, which a lot of customers had been begging for.
I should also mention that we’re big on transparency. Our size charts aren’t just a random list of numbers—they’re broken down by every measurement: chest, waist, shoulder width, sleeve length, torso length, inseam, even hip measurement. If you’re shopping online with a retailer that carries our gear, you can pull up the size chart and measure a piece of clothing you already love at home to find your perfect fit. No more guessing. We also have a size guide on our supplier site that breaks down each size group, so retailers can tell their customers exactly what to expect.
So why does this matter? Easy wear is supposed to be the no-fuss, no-stress piece of a guy’s wardrobe. If you have to spend 20 minutes scrolling through a brand’s size options just to find something that doesn’t make you look like you’re wearing a kid’s hand-me-down, that’s the opposite of easy. We built our easy wear line to fit real guys—real heights, real builds, real preferences. That means no abandoning shorter guys, no ignoring bigger guys, no forcing guys to settle for a size that’s not quite right.
If you’re a retailer or brand looking to stock high-quality, size-inclusive men’s easy wear, or you’re a partner needing bulk orders for your team, we’re here to help. We can walk you through our size options, custom sizing requests if you have a specific need, and even sample pieces so you can see how our gear fits before you place a big order. No hoops, no complicated processes—just straight talk about sizes that work for real guys.
Now, let’s back up what we’re saying with some of the data we used to build our sizing. For reference, here’s what we pulled from that 2022 sizing survey we did: 68% of male respondents said they’d stopped buying a casual brand entirely because their sizing was too limited; 54% said they’d had to alter a casual garment at least once a year because it didn’t fit right; 72% of big and tall men said most casual brands only offer up to 3XL, which is too small for their frame. That’s why we put the work into expanding our size ranges—because the old way wasn’t working, and guys deserved better.
We also worked with independent apparel research groups to make sure our sizing aligns with current anthropometric data for men in North America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a 2021 study on male body dimensions that shows the average male is slightly taller and heavier than the 1950s standard, with broader shoulders and longer torsos. So we adjusted our Big & Tall sizes to match that—no more sizes that were made for a man 70 years ago. That’s part of why our sizes feel more comfortable and fit better than a lot of other brands out there.
At the end of the day, we’re not just a supplier—we’re guys who wear this stuff, too. I’ve got a 5’9” frame, a little extra around the waist from too many office lunches, so I buy our Regular Large joggers with a 30 inseam. My younger brother’s 6’4”, broad-shouldered, so he grabs our Tall XL tees and 34 inseam joggers. My best friend’s a short, trim 5’5”, so he’s all about our Slim Medium. That’s the stuff that matters—we get that sizing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’re committed to making easy wear that works for every guy, no matter what he looks like or how he likes his clothes to fit.
