shininggirl. How do I say these sizes in English sentences?You have not written them in spoken English. For example, your first sentence would be:
"I want a blue T-shirt in extra large."
Now, how do you think you would read the others?

You got a hint with XL being said as "extra large."
So XL would be "___ ____"
However, we usually say "two ex" and "three ex" for "extra-extra large" or "double extra large" and "triple extra large."
I don't know how people say XXL.

Here's a cultural note.
Where I live, I would never go into a store and say I want a blue T-shirt . . .
This sounds very rude.
I'd say I'd like a blue T-shirt . . . please.

My husband has corrected me. A "2X" is not always an extra-extra large. Apparently in men's clothing, you have extra large, extra-extra large, then 1X, then 2X, then 3X. So a 2X is really and extra extra extra extra large.
Gracious. Who knew?

So for example you call "XXL" "2X large".
That's strange to me.
Is it the same in other countries
