Dear all,

What is the meaning of "I'll have some of that" in this conext:

A: (to C) you may change some clothes. His clothes fits you.
B: He doesn't keep any clothes here.
C: I'll have some of that.

I haven't seen him taking some of anything. Does this expression has an idiomatic meaning?

Thanks a lot.

"I'll have some of that" is a colloquial expression, the exact meaning of which depends on the context. It doesn't seem to fit that context at all.

Can it mean "That suits me"?

What's happening off-camera? Maybe she's seen a man [or a woman, if she's that way inclined] that she fancies.
