So these skinnier mannequins are more normal to me than the usual extremely big ones. Not everyone has a 40" waist.<br /><br />And besides most of the measurements for the average american are taken by older people that don't usually even shop for clothes at malls or decent retailers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372876601826078687.post-42529546138891911322010-11-18T02:04:16.274-07:002010-11-18T02:04:16.274-07:00I agree with Kevin.
As a naturally skinny male, ...I agree with Kevin. <br /><br />As a naturally skinny male, it is near impossible to find any clothing that will fit me without stores that specialize in a slimmer fit, like American Apparel. <br /><br />I was actually surprised to see this mannequin as it has the same dimensions as me! I know of a lot of males that are naturally slim like me and this mannequin is indeed representational. Not everyone is big and bulky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372876601826078687.post-49545485296364381252010-06-01T09:39:03.455-07:002010-06-01T09:39:03.455-07:00I hate to say this, but I believe your article is ...I hate to say this, but I believe your article is entirely mis-informed. <br /><br />I'm a 21-year old college student living in LA and I love-love-love trendy brands like American Apparel and Express -- not because I necessarily care about fashion, or because I even like their clothes all that much; I love these brands because they are the only brands that actually fit me.<br /><br />Being naturally skinny (26-27" waist) and also decently tall (5'8") means I can't even pretend to think about shopping in "normal" stores like Nordstrom or JC Penney because the smallest pant size they carry is typically 32". No amount of tailoring can fix a waist that's 5 inches too big. The worst part is that I can't even buy child boy's pants or shirts because the legs and arm sleeves are much too short. Without these brands for skinny men, I would have no choice but to have all my clothes custom made. That's an expensive life sentence to impose on the oppressed, skinny minority. You're not weight-ist are you?<br /><br />Stores like American Apparel aren't "encouraging eating disorders" and they're not promoting an "unrealistic and unattainable image". They're brilliantly tapping into a niche in the retail clothing market -- skinny guys like me need clothes too. And given American Apparel's success, this niche market is clearly bigger than you thought.<br /><br />Please don't hate on skinny brands just because you can't wear them. Skinny men need clothes too. And why shouldn't we also be stylish? ;)Kevin Greenehttp://kgsqrd@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
