I'm not XXL. I'd love to duplicate the shorts I'm wearing right now, just as one example, and I just verified and they're petite medium. Now I'm not saying that petite medium isn't larger than it was 20 years ago, but it's still not XXL. And why not show me the size I asked for? Maybe I have thinner friends? 
What is Amazon doing, watching me? "Oh, my goodness, look at her put away that cheese. She won't be a medium for long!" Where's my tin foil hat?
I see the funny side of this, but it's also irritating. I'd love to make a manual change if I could, but clearly Amazon knows best. |
If you start ordering in M, L or XL, it will likely start saying based on what you ordered it won't be XXL. I ordered some XL long-sleeved tees in 2020, which were oversized but comfortable. From then on it was recommending XL. I have always done best with XL for Lands End tops, but the particularly Amazon top I ordered, it was much larger. But it wasn't Amazon's own brand. I never know what size I really am when I order there, since there are so many different brands. I've had to send a lot of things back because they didn't fit.
