meaning in context - "I'm a large." (Seinfeld)


The Label Maker:



JERRY: Why'd you get him a gift anyway?


ELAINE: Oh, he did some dental work for me and he didn't charge me so I thought I'd get him a Christmas present.


JERRY: Yeah, well, if you're getting him anything for his birthday, I'm a large.



The context is that Elaine had given a present to a guy and then that guy "re-gifted" it to Jerry. What does this I'm a large mean?




Answer



It's a clothing size. He wears a large. His joke anticipates clothing, given as a gift, being re-gifted to Jerry.
