In comparison, males from other countries may have an easier difficulty finding plus-size apparel than women. If you're under 6 feet tall and slim, you'll only have small issues–for example, Japanese shirts are narrower in the shoulders than many Western guys are used to, and long sleeves and pant legs are occasionally just a bit too short. The majority of these issues may be resolved by simply sizing up one size in the problematic item.

However, if you are 6 feet tall or more, you may have difficulties finding clothing and shoes. Knowing your size and adjusting properly may obviously save you time and aggravation.
