Kinda in shock...

My winter jacket that I had been wearing is a 3XL.  3XL was a nice change from the historic 6XL I used to wear.  Well the 3XL was too big to be comfortable but it was pretty much my only winter jacket so I would wear a couple of sweatshirts to make it work.  Today I went to find a new jacket.  I assumed that 2XL would be what I would look for.  I had a big sweatshirt on as I tried on jackets.  Well the 2XLs were kinda big.  Wow I thought, that just doesn't seem right.  So I started trying on XL.  I haven't fit in an XL for longer than I can remember (which isn't all that significant).  Well the XLs fit even over my sweatshirt.  I tried about 6 completely different brands since sometimes that makes a difference.  Then I saw a jacket I really liked but the only sizes were Large and Medium.  No XL.  Well just for yucks I tried on the L and it totally FIT, zipper, sweatshirt and all.

That also means that MEDIUM is the next size down.  Cannot believe it.


Whooohoooo.....

That is just wonderful. And I bet it was great to have so many more options to choose from than when you were a 6XL.

And won't you feel great every time you where that coat!
