I’m 6’3” and weight 230. I might get into a size 40” with an elastic band. That’s why I’m having a hard time believing this 220-pounder can fit into size 36.

*shrugs*... Back in the day, when I was 6-pack fit, I was 6'2" / 265/275, and was pretty much 36-38" at the waist... And always XXXLT t-shirts... BIG ain't necessarily FAT.

BIG ain't necessarily FAT.

Absolutely correct. However in middle America these days, I'd say 99% of the BIG people are FAT. And the so-called "poor" people are among the fattest.
