I'm a big guy, but not pear-shaped. Most stuff for big guys tend to be cut for the pear or blob shaped. I however, just have a huge gut. The rest of me is shaped pretty normal. So most 5x sized shirts tend to look like Omar the Tent-maker sewed em up. Let's face it, nothing is going to flatter my shape and I don't expect miracles. But man is it nice to put this thing on.

Covers the tummy completely, which almost NEVER happens with any shirt. I almost always order XLT's to get enough out front to cover the gut (resulting in the huge, sail-like profile of most shirts), but this does. And without 50" long sleeves or other silly looking results.

Bottom line, if you're a big guy with a big gut, you'll like this sweatshirt. Best fitting one I've ever found.
