'BIG FABRIC IS AT IT AGAIN': Bill O'Reilly gets mocked after explaining why his clothes no longer fit

Bill O’Reilly can no longer fit into size XL clothes and he has an interesting theory as to why that is:

Here’s the Tip of the Day: many clothing companies have stealthily cut back on material, so order your stuff one size larger than you are. I am 6’4”, 210 pounds and an XL used to do it. Not anymore. Now XXL.

I worked on this story for a year … and he just… tweeted it out https://t.co/CwpnYmkVMw

Yep, global clothier cost cutting is leading cause of older dude waist size enlargement. I'm literally loling on this. https://t.co/13bbEU2Kt6

Although there might be other factors at work here other than corporate profits:

A conspiracy-oriented narcissist might blame the clothing companies. A regular person might think, "Maybe I should lay off the doughnuts…" https://t.co/ud1Q6umPMG

To be fair: "I'm not getting fatter, the clothing companies are cutting back on material" is a much more benign lie than "the women made these accusations for money." https://t.co/bAxwFELi32

Here's Crossy's Tip 'o the Day: many lobsters & steaks & mashed potatoes have stealthily added fat to themselves and secretly don't allow you to exercise. I used to lie slightly less about my weight. Not anymore. Now I'm a fat. https://t.co/5wPQZMQNZB

Time for a fact-check:

I’m 6’4”, working on staying below 230, and most XL shirts fit me just fine. When was the last time you actually stepped on a scale, Bill? https://t.co/xeVlwVgAvn

And scale companies are stealthily using cheaper springs so always subtract ten pounds when you weigh yourself. https://t.co/SuMtwLuCQM

TMI from Fox’s Greg Gutfeld:

This truly is the tip of the day. I do this with all my clothes. i order all my football jerseys XXS and wear them as a pajama shirt when we have pillow fights. https://t.co/tMzMfhFIg4

More mockery:

i also have gained weight and find clothing tighter https://t.co/K3rQyvrXRb

Anyone want to make a bet that O'Reilly has grown and just doesn't want to admit it. https://t.co/Ql4kKR5gxS
