Company Swag- Left Out Due To Sizing

[Anonymous]

I love logo wear and am jealous of the patagonia fleece. I'm a fed and we often buy our own with logos. I'm pretty proud of where I work and our mission (I don't have any logo wear though).

They errored on the size of smallness. Most adult women don't wear a Small. And what man past high school wears a Medium? You'd have to be pretty short and slim.

Wut? Do you only know fat asses? There are a gazillion 5 ft 10, 165 pound men out there. Like, literally, the majority of all men. Are you trying to explain away that you're just a grotesque fat person and average size people are freaks?

My dh is very healthy (not scrawny) and muscular, 6'2 165lbs. He wears mediums. He typically orders a large though in jackets because otherwise the sleeves aren't long enough.

My 6'2 DH and wears large for anything that doesn't offer tall sizing. Medium sleeves look ridiculous on him

And I’m sorry they didn’t have your size OP. Ask if you can buy the item in your size and expense it (and then “forget” to have the logo sewn on).

Patagonia embroidery is really easy to remove

I’d still like to know why five people “got nothing”. At the very least, I would have expected everyone to get a complete swag bag — even if the clothing didn’t fit. OP?

As others have said, it’s also quite odd that the office is that small, yet whoever did the ordering didn’t have a sense that there were people who wouldn’t fit clothing in such a limited size range. Most places I’ve worked that ordered logo swag erred in the direction of sizing up, reasoning that many people like to wear looser clothes, and at least a smaller person can wear a larger size, while a larger person might not be able to wear a smaller one.

OP got a large that doesn't fit her... that's not "nothing".

Five foot ten inch 165 pounds is the size of a JV Player in HS. Is that even a man? More like a cross dresser lady boy sized man boy

Ha!! I'm a PP who said I love logo wear too and I'm a former fed! Must be bc I never got any all those years (and yes I was proud of the agency & mission) so now it's a treat to get free stuff in the private sector

Curious-What does this mean? You buy your own fleece jacket that says EPA? SEC? DOJ?

DP but at EPA yes there was a little store in the basement where you could buy branded stuff. It wasn't even cheap! I think it closed.

Actually it is one of my retirement goals to snag a logo fleece from a few selected areas in my organization.
Maybe feds like swag more because it's pretty rare for us.

Yup my agency has a store in the basement and also sometimes groups will order stuff for just their groups. And yes, employees have to pay for it. At least that way we get the size we want!

Totally veering off topic but do they sell this fed stuff online?
