Probably because some SA told him that he wouldn't be able to fit in anything other than an XL because of his height

Couldn't agree with you more about starting simple and moving up.

OK, here's that XL button-down shirt. Really starting to hate my 6-year-old digicam (getting a new one soon); you can't really make out the texture of the shirt (subtle vertical stripes), no matter how I tweak the colors in Photoshop. But at least you guys get to see the fit. Note the sleeves, which even in this size don't seem quite long enough X_x. I also am starting to see what hendrix is saying about the 501s not being a great fit. No more pics from me until I go shopping, I think :p.

Yea, i mean you could just buy a cool leather wear it in spring and fall layer with thermal and hoodie or something in winter, then just do tees in summer and keep the bottom half almost the same. Though that gets a bit boring wearing the exact same outfit year round. I can understand how someone would want to do that and then slowly branch out but if you know your ****, you can mix it up just fine.
