Company Swag- Left Out Due To Sizing

You just have to suck it up.

Oh please

But at our company we did have one employee left out of getting a company shirt because he needed a 5XL and the supplier only went up to 3XL. I felt badly but I think he expected it, or at least recognized it was within the realm of possibility.

I'd be the person to order the 5XL and iron on the logo myself.

Let me guess—the person who placed the order is a woman who weighs 105 lbs and also doesn’t order enough food for everyone.

Always always always company clothing should be ordered by size, specific to the individual. Whoever ordered a random assortment of sizes messed up.

Among the very generous things in the bag were customized, logoed, Patagonia down jackets and a customized Patagonia fleece. Because we are a smallish company (40 people) they only ordered the jackets in Mens medium and large and Womens small and medium, which means 5 of us got nothing.

That's weird, right?

Very weird sizing distribution, esp. for jackets which you would want to err on the large side since you wear stuff underneath.

Did you get one but it just doesn’t fit? If so, give it away.

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.

I think you’re onto something. I’m private sector, but DH is a fed, and he loves swag! I take him to my trade shows and he is like a kid in a candy store grabbing the promo items (which is a completely different industry than the one he works with, so there’s not even like clout for having these items).

What size are you, OP?

[Anonymous]

I honestly wouldn’t care. I’d just take it to Goodwill and let someone else enjoy it.

+1 Really nice stuff no one in our house will wear due to the logo.

Haha! No, but I can see how you would get there!

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?

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

I'll guess we'll have to take you word on cross dressing lady boys. You seem quite familiar.
