How do I ask HR for the right sized shirt?

So we got free shirts the other day and they gave me a size to small. I'm 6'4 275. Bench 375, Squat 535, and Deadlift 600 pounds. I was just curious as to if anyone has any strategies around approaching HR for a new shirt since the XL they gave me doesn't come past my belly button.

Approach HR wearing the shirt they provided you.

This is the best approach. From his description he might have to wear it as a hat.

It was not your fault they had to give you another type of uniform, it seems to me that the company was very incompetent in this regard

I came here for the comments and it was well worth it.

But, perhaps a form check video would do justice here for proof.

I feel you man. I’m 6’6” and 260. I typically wear a 2xlt. HR always gets me a 2x. I look like Lurch from the Adams family in those shirts. I tried so many times and they never get it right. I ended up just going online and having shirts made

At our company, we use employee engagement system called Motivosity. In the profile section on it it asks for "shirt size".  That being said, you just have to reach out to whoeever is the keeper of the swag and politely ask for a bigger shirt.

HR needs to have HR called on them. They just wanted you to show off your work. 

Well played HR.

Put your legs through the arm holes and wear it like a diaper, then go ask HR.
