    I was in TJ Maxx and I looked for wool for my son, who is obsessed with cycling, but doesn't have so much $. Why do they only have really nice merino/cashmere sweaters in sizes XL to 2XL? Is no one short and skinny? He wears a small... There were tons of good sweaters for him to wear commuting, with zippers/buttons down the front to ventilate, but no go.
    Frustrating.

    I think all the small sweaters are over here. I can't find any large ones- there all too small.

    You know, I think size creep has reached men's clothes, because when he was in HS, he wore a medium. My DH, who is bigger even wears a small in some tops.

    Thanks for this post, because I went to TJ Maxx yesterday, and got 3 wool sweaters for under $100! I got a zippered boiled-wool cardigan that's super comfy and looks vintage, a black cashmere v-neck pullover, which definitely fills a hole in my wardrobe, and a burnt orange Merino pullover. I guess I never look there at the right time for wool. It was really crowded in the store. I bet if I waited, I might have missed the boat.
