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

Greg P. | 10:12 AM on December 20, 2017

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

Twitter gave us 280 characters so we could invent wild spin zones for getting fat https://t.co/DC6YHcE1XH
