This makes me want to pluck my eyes out...

u/Civil_Tea_3250 1d ago

Me too. I'm 6'4" and gay af. Masculine, sure. But the height has nothing to do with it. Most straight masculine men I know are in the 5' range and aren't insecure. Insecure men aren't masculine, they're childish.

u/Sir_Clarence_III_Esq 1d ago

No masculine for you!

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

The plot thickens

u/bongsforhongkong 1d ago

Im 5'11 too, I guess we could be tall women together.

u/katholique_boi69 1d ago

I finally found my sorority as a 5'11

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

And look mighty fine while doing so, I’d imagine

u/Tinyzooseven 1d ago

I guess you're a womens tall

u/Impossible_Ad_7367 1d ago

Shouldn’t it be BMI?

1

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

There’s an additional chart for size based on measurements, size type is a separate sizing class (so like Regular Large, Petite Small, Extra Large Tall are what things become in the cart)

1

u/HitoHitoN 1d ago

Professional athletes are obese according to bmi because it is meaningless. Just say you don’t like fat chicks, more for the rest of us

1

u/vanZuider 1d ago

That very much depends on the kind of athletes. Weightlifters, yes, but I don't think any runners are obese by BMI.

If you build so much muscle that you have >30 BMI, you will also need bigger clothes.

u/Colonel_Gipper 1d ago

Size Type: Limbo

1

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

We’re going with Tall and Large (another chart not shown), because no one needs two too short long sleeves!

u/degjo 1d ago

u/vi_sucks 1d ago

They know every 5'11" guy just claims to be 6' anyway...

2

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

Never claim it, but my size selection gives it away

2

u/Global-Discussion-41 1d ago

I say 5'11 and still get accused of exaggerating

2

u/-Ozone-- 1d ago

Plot twist, OP is 5'10" and only claims to be 5'11".

He's buying clothes

u/rbollige 1d ago

Even if that’s true, I’d call that a shit size chart, for multiple reasons.

1

u/executivesphere 1d ago

Perhaps you could even say it is…mildly infuriating?

1

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

Well this is the full chart, there’s a size type (based on height) and a size (based on measurements)

1

u/sadkinz 1d ago

This is for suit jackets. When you buy off the rack they’re labeled as S, R or L(for tall). This determines the length of the jacket and sleeves

u/sadkinz 1d ago

My wool overcoat had L as an option. That’s honestly what I thought it was before I saw this post

You don’t exist

u/bigloser42 1d ago

Sorry, you don’t exist

u/polarbearsarereal 1d ago

I just day 6 foot, easier to say than 5’11

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

I just love the sound of the extra syllables, tickles my brain. Eleven is just a really nice sounding word in general, but the five gets that extra V in there

1

u/polarbearsarereal 1d ago

Most of my friends are taller than me so they tease me for it 😂

2

u/Happy_Old_Troll 1d ago

I’m mad at the different semicolon used for “regular”.

2

u/Reddittreefiddy 1d ago

5'11" = Extra medium

2

u/itsaconspiraci 1d ago

You're extra-regular.

2

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

More than ordinary! Just not extraordinary

u/AnxiousSleepDeprived 1d ago

I’m 5’7 😭

u/godlyuniverse1 1d ago

Bro just met the threshold for short, 😔

u/Flat_Interaction5201 1d ago

then buy the short shorts

u/PandaPocketFire 1d ago

He just calls those pants

u/majokamo 1d ago

What country is this for?

1

u/NatterinNabob 1d ago

I don't want to alarm you, but this chart leads me to believe that you may not exist.

1

u/Brave_Explorer5988 1d ago

You measure sizes in minutes/ seconds? 

1

u/SonOfLaGun 1d ago

5’11 doesn’t exist

1

u/Milksteak529 1d ago

Gotta measure with your shoes off.

1

u/aSituationTypeDeal 1d ago

 Because anyone who is 5’11” is 6”.

Not by measure, but by mentality.

1

u/East-Win7450 1d ago

Regular! 

1

u/Clover_Field83 1d ago

No you're not. Look at the chart. You don't exist.

1

u/7Orc7 1d ago

You’re 5’11. So, 6

1

u/Ambitious_Jelly8783 1d ago

5'11" are bastards.

1

u/Impossible_Ad_7367 1d ago

As a member of gen x, I can relate.

1

u/Orion-- 1d ago

Welcome to the 5'11 club, too tall to call yourself average, too short to call yourself tall. We all live in a sort of purgatory between the two.

u/TBellOHAZ 1d ago

Masculine Size Chart is the goofiest shit

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

It is on a renaissance faire costume website so maybe understandable?

In my defense, I have a friend’s theme wedding in mid-October in a Germanic village and figured I’d combo the wedding outfit with a Halloween costume (bride said bring the weird shit out the closet)

1

u/TBellOHAZ 1d ago

Definitely bring the weird shit out! No judgment on you at all, just the sign.

u/TexasTopHand 1d ago

Well I’m 5’11”. What does that make me?

1

u/jonsnowflaker 1d ago

As a fellow 5’11” this actually feels accurate when looking for stuff that fits.

1

u/Fuzzy_Fox_9162 1d ago

I am only 5' 1" and wish I was taller. I am a short woman.

1

u/SippinOnHatorade 1d ago

My wife is similarly sized and feels your pain

1

u/Zito6694 1d ago

You don’t exist

1

u/Siryeswecan 1d ago

The Gen X of heights

1

u/HitoHitoN 1d ago

Reg-tall for you I suppose (I’m the same height but met my wife before dating apps took off thank god)

1

u/degjo 1d ago

Its because 5'11" dudes lie and say 6' anyone.

1

u/FoulestWinner 1d ago

I'm 6'4". I am not even remotely happy about it either.

1

u/ReferenceMediocre369 1d ago

So, you have no size at all?

1

u/du_rel_gug_menl 1d ago

Yes, I made regular bracket at this time

1

u/loud-spider 1d ago

Yeah, we got nothing for ya, sorry.

1

u/Intelligent-Dig-4082 1d ago

5’11” is such a frustrating height. Especially with dress clothes. XL shirt sleeves be long as hell.

1

u/nibbed2 1d ago

You are Size Type: Ok

1

u/Garden_Lady2 1d ago

Congratulations 5'11", you are so rare there aren't enough 5'11"s to warrant a category. Wear your uniqueness with honor and pride! Celebrate 🍾

1

u/undeviatedskeptic 1d ago

Well just say your 6 feet tall

1

u/but-I-play-one-on-TV 1d ago

Well OP as sometime who's 6'1" on a good day, I think "tall" starts at 6'2"

2

u/Wide_Copy8937 1d ago

Im also a little over six feet and will agree that tall starts at 6'2"

1

u/CpuJunky I mean, c'mon 1d ago

I'm also 6'1". I don't consider myself "tall". That's reserved for those who people comment, "you're tall!"
