I wasn't implying that, but a lot of america doesn't exercise/lift anyways. Also, brad is spot on. Julius is made for frail guys. The design and intended silhouette just meshes well with slimmer bodies. Bigger guys in julius made it look odd, especially the shredded hem shirts.

It depends on the brand, but this is more or less true. I really like the styling of some brands like KK Attachment, and have had the opportunity to get a lot of stuff at bargain basement prices, but the cuts just don't necessarily fit me, the non-knit outerwear, in particular. I'm not even particularly musclebound, just have a considerably bigger shoulders and chest compared to gut (need to lose 10 pounds, easily) than my Asian born counterparts. Most of it is lifestyle, as much as diet.

By way of contrast, the Italian brands with related styling, like MA+, Haute (now defunct, or at least, the designer is gone), Nicolo Ceschi Berrini, all fit me well.

my friend wore a pair of H&M jeans whenever he wasn't at work (and he works a lot) for about a year and then they just failed all over. he said they fell apart in multiple locations.
