Maybe you have too much European ancestry :-)


And the Chinese garments appear to be only constructed for someone
5'6" whereas the Taiwanese garments seem to be for Americans sizes in
the American market.


The bike clothes made in Thailand, and I suspect, in China are made in
local and foreign sizes and there is about one size difference between
the sizes. I've actually got a pair of bike shorts with a label saying
"Asia - M, Eur - S".

We have an annual Bicycle Expo and I've talked to one of the larger
manufacturer of athletic clothing and they are well aware of the
differences in size and are quick to tell you if you ask "is this a
American or Thai medium?"


Just like they ask in Thai restaurant around here "Hot or Thai hot?".
Sensitive people not heeding that distinction advice risk landing in the
emergency room.
