If you wear smaller sized clothing, you are subsidizing the price for everyone else because you’re paying the same price for less material.

Who’s here from team freeloaderrrrrs!
Currently wearing an XL dress shirt over a M undershirt, does that mean I’m driving inflation?
Or … you could be paying 1/3 the price for XL kids’ clothes. An XL in kids and a small in adults fit me the same way, but the kids’ clothes are SO much cheaper.
Or not… It is possible the smaller sizes require more labor and the cost of material between sizes is irrelevant.
Not true. XL and higher usually costs more.
Absolutely true. I’m in the apparel business. Sizes small through XL cost us the same, larger sizes cost more. Obviously there is far less fabric in small and medium than large and extra large.
Unless the fabric is a luxury one, yardage is not as much as part of the price as the amount of seams and the quality of the trim and notions. Each garment will likely have the same number of seams and zippers no matter the size.
The material is such a small cost if clothing (most products really) that it’s not really significant that one shirt is 5% less material than another. You’re paying for people to design, assemble, transport, market, sell, tax, and (probably most of all) profit. Those things cost the same independent of size.
Thank you for your service.
Would it though? I would imagine most brands would produce an (x) amount of products in different sizes and then make more by demand. They would budget that every given season.
Not always. As a big guy, I know for a fact when I try to get my size in some things on Amazon, the price jumps up.

But also, folks who wear XS–S often find more stuff on sale or at outlets, since those sizes tend to be left over. So in a way, it kinda balances out.
