Why are most mens dress shirts either large or extra large?

I’ve been going to the Goodwill and other thrift stores looking to get some dress shirts. Doesn’t really matter about the style, color as long as it fits and looks good. (My favorites are old Wrangler or Levis jean, cowboy, striped or plaid.) But at least 95% of the shirts they have are large or extra large.

It’s so hard to find a medium and I would like to know why. Is it just a bunch of old, fat businessmen wearing these things? I went through about 700 shirts today and found approx. seven mediums. It sucks being my size. Err. And good luck if you’re a small ’cause there’s no hope. Found maybe two in that size.

Mens dress shirts are large or extra large because most Americans are bigger.

    the world is not obese, american men are obese…and it looks like its not going to stop. child obesity is on the rise and so is the average calorie intake…this is also for women too!

    here's something to think about: most businessmen are very busy and dont have time to sit down to a good healthy meal, they are always on the go so they eat lots of fast food and drink sugar loaded things to get by…this leads to gaining weight!
