Being Big And Tall And Finding Cool Graphic TShirts

I get told sometimes that my shirts are amazing and I do listen to the feedback a bit to make sure I keep myself looking cool to myself and those around (with an opinion I care about, anyway.) Since I was a teenager begging my mom in Hot Topic for my first Rob Zombie shirt that looked like this (photo from a now-removed Etsy listing)

I have been a massive fan of graphic t-shirts. I love the ones that you don’t see everywhere on a regular basis. So I’m not talking like a sports shirt or something like that, which is what my local Walmart stocks for big people in the graphic shirt section now which is ridiculous. I mean something with a band I like or maybe a graphic that is about something I am into at the time.

We all have our interests, it just feels like big and tall people have less of a pool of cool stuff to select from. I do think, however, due to the internet we are able to collect and make far more clothing items that meet big and tall needs. I am actually working on some designs myself, as I have been so lucky to be born in a time where it’s possible to do so much stuff faster from home without too much help.

With that said, here’s the ad for the article and after that I’ll continue:

Please check out Into the AM on Amazon. Sizes up to 4XL! Here’s an example of their work on one of their shirts and you can click it or this text to see it!

It’s a bit wild to me that they don’t cater more to niche audiences any longer at many big retail shops. The internet has been around for a long time now and to be honest it’s where I get most of my clothing now. I’m sorry if I don’t want to wear a plain green shirt because that’s all they had in my size at the store this time.

Without a doubt, the older I get the less I seem to really care if others think I look cool or whatever. And I think once you get to the point where you no longer hear that nagging voice about how you need to be more muted, it’s very easy to ignore anyone that seems to not get you anyways.

I actually don’t know why so many of us care what people think that we likely wouldn’t go to for advice. Why care? Of course they don’t like you because they don’t have the same ingredients or whatever you’d call it that makes them up. So be it, maybe you can still be nice to them and make them look like the crazy one over time by not caring at all.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, more posts and other stuff soon.
