For the ones with the douchebag/asshole comments, leave it somewhere else.

So my friend wanted me to find info on Hollister jackets and I found out that an XL jacket has a 44 chest, and my friend's chest is 50. (He wants to wear Hollister jackets)

Do you think he can wear one? Will it be too small?

[<*)))><]

I wear a small. Also who really cares hollister is crap, pay more for A&F that stuff is so much warmer and better made.

[Dystroxia]

Well, you see...it's for my friend, not me.

I'm finding out if an XL jacket would be too small for a 50 sized chest. That's all

[<*)))><]

That is pretty fat. A little bit less then twice the size of me.

[Dystroxia]

That is pretty fat. A little bit less then twice the size of me.

So I'm guessing that's too small?

I bought a hollister coat once. It seemed to me like they ran kind of big. I mean, I'm not that small of a person, pretty average, and even the small size was spacious.

[re7ard1337]

H0LL1stER iS S000 GAiiii~~!

[saveferris]

It's definitely gonna be too small. I wear a medium and I always have to go one size up in Hollister because they make their stuff smaller.

If anything they run slim, the tight fit makes you look like you have more muscle.

Really? Hmm, I always run into the opposite problem and have to go a size bigger then what I usually wear

[Theseventhson]

That sounds a bit too small.

[Dystroxia]

Where does he normally shop?

American Eagle and Aeropostale sometimes.

[Andy Young]

If he doesn't plan to zip/button it up he should be fine. Otherwise it sounds like the basis of a Chris Farley scene.

[<*)))><]

American Eagle and Aeropostale sometimes.
Then it will fit they are the same size.

[Thriftstoresuit]

sounds about right, I'll only need to get slightly jacked to utilize their clothes.

Really? Hmm, I always run into the opposite problem and have to go a size bigger then what I usually wear

well, I guess I'm just strictly speaking coats. I've never actually bought any of their other clothes.

[Dystroxia]

He wears 2X in AE though

Aeropostale idk, I guess the same thing

[saveferris]

All of their other stuff like t-shirts and polos are "muscle fit" or whatever so they run a little tighter. I guess the jackets are just normal sized

[Dystroxia]

Really? Hmm, I always run into the opposite problem and have to go a size bigger then what I usually wear

Perhaps online and stores have different sizes? (i.e. small might be too small online, but not as much in the store)

Idk, I don't shop at Hollister though.

Having no muscle ton what so ever you do look pretty built and all of there clothing is pretty small. I basically got a closet full of everything they sell.

[robat19]

Really though, if he wears a 2X at AE he's not going to fit into an XL at Hollister. If I wore something from Hollister it'd be an XL and I wear a large at AE.

[<*)))><]

He wears 2X in AE though

Aeropostale idk, I guess the same thing
Yeah well then he can't get it.

[Dystroxia]

Why does he want to wear a Hollister jacket?

I honestly have NO idea.

He claims he'll be a lot more popular if he has one, and I tell him it's stupid, popularity is nothing.

[Theseventhson]

Clothing has nothing to do with popularity, at least in my area.

At our school, it kinda sorta has a little to do with it, all the "popular" kids I guess wear Hollister, AE, and A&F (which I think is dumb)

I wear AE but I don't think I'm that popular, in fact I don't think anyone is. I think they're just people.

I seriously CANNOT wait for it to come out.

[atticus18244fss]

I always have hated douchebags who wear Hollister/A&F/American Eagle. Stop trying to just fit in with all your douchebag friends and do something different. Literally my whole high school would wear the same thing. Thank god people have some sense in Uni.

[baseballfreak19]

why doesnt he just go to a store and try one on?

[ohitsmark]

Fat guy in a little coat.

[ohitsmark]

He shouldn't care what he wears. Clothes are clothes.

Also, he should just try one on in a store. Most people do it.

[drawndead]

hollister and af run smaller than aero and ae. im a medium in ae and a large in hollister/af. honestly AE makes the same shit as hollister its $20 cheaper

[DejaNew]

A dude, shopping for another dude, at Hollister? My head hurts.

His chest size is 50... why in the world would a 44 fit? Also, no one fucking shops at Hollister anymore.

American Apparel sweatshirts are the shit. Especially when you find them at thrift stores.

[atticus18244fss]

By far the best sweaters ever. I have 4 so far and they are comfiest things in the world and just fit perfectly. But $50-60 bucks a piece is a little meh. But its worth it. And I have a custom Clandestine one. After shipping and tax and getting the logo pressed, that bitch cost $100.

[Kassie09]

yeah hollister and abercrombie runs a size smaller than american eagle. american eagle runs big.

You can get them on ebay from individual sellers that sell 'em for about $30-40, and occassionally you can find one in one of the cool little 2nd hand storer around here that are like $10-$20. But, 2nd hand shopping isn't for everyone.

[argg_xo]

Last time I checked size 44 does not equal 50, why the fuck do you/did you think that would fit?

I used to buy Hollister to impress some girl. The shirts are all different sizes, sometimes the medium would be really tight and other times it would be loose. I don't know why I even put in my input, it's not very relevant. But I don't feel like erasing all this.

I work at Hollister and this isn't true. A&F and Hollister essentially sell the same clothes with different logos, it's not a jump in quality you're paying extra for, it's the brand.

To answer the original question, 44 =/= 50, and Hollister clothes tend to fit snug in the first place, so I'd say unless he tries it on in a store and it fits, skip it.

EDIT: A&F does sell some items that Hollister doesn't.

I'm comparing all of my shirts, the A&F seem to be a hit heavier and the hoodies are nearly double the weight. Explain that?

[saveferris]

Idk, I don't shop at Hollister though.
Idk. I can never find a shirt that fits me quite right anyways. I'm super picky and have to try on everything to make sure it's just right. That's why I stopped buying shit online

Nahhhh man, you just gotta hangout at The Lighthouse, thats where all the cool cats in Houma hang. I worked Merch for Abandon Kansas there and it was the jam, I was so busy that night.

Does Hollister still sell the "Jake" cologne? I bought a large bottle of it like a year and a half ago and i'm almost out, it spray it all the time and its almost out, it lasts such a long time, great value.

Whats the most popular colognes right now btw?

I believe they still sell Jake in store, but if not you can get it online here (http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_389380_-1_18898_12551).

In terms of popularity, SoCal, which is the one we spray in the store, is probably still the most popular (and my favorite). California, which is the newest fragrance, also sells pretty well.

Don't know what to tell you. Like I said, I'm sure that some of their stuff is different, but I've seen literally the exact same button down shirt being sold at both stores. The only difference was the logo and about a 20% price increase at Abercrombie. The jeans come in the same styles. A lot of the clothes are very similar and are made from the same materials (albeit with minor differences for the logo type and the stitching on the inside of the neck).

[argg_xo]

haha you mockin me?
even though it seems that way, i was not! lol
i think i was in disbelief that someone actually thought a 44 would fit a size 50. like, seriously?

[SomedayTheFire]

Hollister make everything smaller it's annoying.

I worked at A&F a few years back, and we'd work with Hollister at times, so I have a very good idea how theirs and Hollister's stuff fits. They tend to muscle cut their men's clothing. That's everything from t-shirts to even jackets. The chest and arms will be decent sized, but they cut it small in the stomach area to give it a more muscular look. This tends to throw all traditional sizing off as a XXL shirt can be the equivalent to a L somewhere else. Hollister seems to run even smaller than A&F as it's geared towards a younger crowd, so an XL at that store will not fit someone with that chest size. It really does make shopping confusing, I have older shirts from these stores that fit normally, but as they essentially run on their own sizing classification now, it's all different. To avoid yourself a return, I'd probably tell your friend to steer clear of buying it.

[ThatColdPart]

Its all made in the same Asian sweat shop by children with nubs for fingers.

It is the same style but a little bit better material.

[Dystroxia]

why doesnt he just go to a store and try one on?

Because he lives 2 hours from the nearest mall that has a Hollister

I would say "yes" the jacket would be too small. It would be uncomfortable, in my opinion.

I honestly have NO idea.

Tell him to get something that fits and is comfortable. If it is too small, it will look dumb and he will waste his money.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to wear a small jacket, but my friend likes tight clothes...I have no idea why.

Tell him to get something that fits and is comfortable. If it is too small, it will look dumb and he will waste his money.

I try, but my convincing isn't good enough. And I also tell him Hollister is expensive and not worth it...he complains every time I mention it.

[Peetie]

Well, all you can do is give him your opinion and let it go. He can either take your advice or not - hopefully he will figure it out eventually. Good luck!

Personally, I am like a few other people who posted in this thread. I shop at thrift shops. Find nice clothes at great prices and save money.

hollister's measurement of a 44 translates to a 54, which is still big compared to your friend who is a 50. it will be too big.

He's obviously trying to impress a bunch of hot girls so he can sleep with them.

Idk why they're so shallow

[Dystroxia]

I guarantee he won't listen.

[Under The Knife]

If I were him, I would strongly listen to him, but it's unfortunate that he won't listen.

And you're right, almost all the girls that wear Hollister are white (some black girls do), about half are sluts, most can be bitchy at times, and all the white girls are preppy that wear Hollister.

You pretty much got it.
