Remember when JC Penney cared about selling good clothing and not just pandering to hams Torrid-style?  Pepperidge Farms remembers. Second-to-last one featured Angeline Jolie.  The last one was from 1990, not 1950.  That's how rapid the change in average BMI has been.  I was shopping in various department stores a few hours ago and apparently all tall men with an inseam over 30 are supposed to be fat.  Brands like Structure heavily cater to fat guys; nearly every pair on the rack is a 40+ waist.    Gimme more leg room (see: Classic Fit, carpenter pants), not waist room.
