Stop in for a cup of coffee

I am finding that my size is getting hard to find at Walmart and local retailers. Chinese women seem to share my size more commonly than American women so I have really good luck with Chinese retailers as far as fitment.

However, I don't like giving my dollars to China, we would be better off with made in USA stickers everywhere


When I was in design, one of our compressor suppliers had a rotation program with their Japanese headquarters... One of the guys that come over here to handle the compressors was named "Steve" aka "Senji",... He was a 6' 1" Japanese guy, his co-workers called him "Out of Standard" as he was much taller than the usual Japanese guy...

One time we had an appointment and I was ready a little early and called down to the front desk and asked the woman if she had seen a 6 foot Japanese guy and she said, "Not yet"... I told her when she saw him to let him come up as I was ready for him....

We were talking one time and I asked him how he liked it here, and he said that he liked being able to buy clothes off the shelf because back in Japan he was so tall that he had to get custom order or tailored stuff... However he said that his wife had trouble finding clothes that fit her as she was the typical short Japanese woman and had to go to special small size stores here....
