I know it isn't this simple, but curious: on a 6' dude, what weight is probably the breakpoint from XL to XXL?

Just your guesses. If you actually know from experience, even better.

Let's see, I'm over 6'3", I weigh about 210, and XXL are always too big on me. If it's a tight cut, maybe -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 11:37
I think your build/musculature make a big difference. I weigh more than people think I look. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 11:34 3
- I think the biggest difference in shirts between Xl and XXL is at the belly -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 11:38 2
  - That's why I was rocking Talls: so they would stay tucked. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 11:39 1
    - Talls? They make those? Hmmm.... -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 11:41
I'm 6', roughly 230, and most XL shirts are generally to big for me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 11:32 3
- You are not 230. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 22, 11:34 1
  - Might be a bit more or a bit less now, haven't stepped on a scale in months. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 11:35

I'm 5'10", been as high as 245, never wore larger than XL. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 22, 11:32
Depends. On regular dress type shirts XLs are fine. But with Ts XXLs are better. - TWuG Jan 22, 11:32

250 -- nm - Epiphany Jan 22, 11:31
250? -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 11:31
I'm 6', 245 and I generally wear XL. When I was 265, XXL -- nm - oblique Jan 22, 11:31 3
- Oh, interesting. And cool. (I was thinking it was probably dumb to quit a diet before hitting XL, but looks like I might be there at my goal. OK.) -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 11:33 2
  - I agree with B*llcumber up there. XXL is still very nice for a T-shirt that invariably will shrink -- nm - oblique Jan 22, 11:36 1
    - I'm not dumping the whole wardrobe or anything. I'd just like to not buy XXXL Tall anymore. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 11:38
