Harrison's coach stops me today. "M...for this upcoming competition....can you try to get him a navy and white striped tee-shirt as a placeholder until his costume is done?" Harrison is a gondolier this year. This replaces the Jesus Christ Superstar outfit we agonized over last year.
Where do you go for a striped tee shirt? J. Crew was my first choice.
I look at the drop down index on the website. "Special sizes" catches my eye. Could be because I just went shopping for pants for myself today.
If you've ever seen a J. Crew catalogue, all the clothes are for tall, thin people.
Imagine my surprise--nay, astonishment-- to learn that "special sizes" to the folks at J. Crew mean two things: Tall.....and Thin.
What is so special about that?
I want to call them up and suggest they get a glimpse of the real world and consider Short and Fat as options for the rest of us.
I got the tee shirts at another store.
