Help me dress myself?

[Little Dutch]

If you are anything like me, you may find the extra cost of the iron-free fabrics worth it.

I?m a 17.5 36. I?m tall but not terribly fat, so fit and length are important. Most store brand shirts anywhere near that size are tents on me that are barely long enough to clear my belly button. It?s easier to just order my shirts.
For the cost of them, I found it was less than $10 more to have something that actually fit properly, ordered from a custom shirt website. If you know your measurements you can get a much better shirt for about the same cost.
I usually order from whomever is having a sale.

edit - I needed a shirt unexpectedly a year or two back. Jos A Banks had a reasonable selection.

According to progressives, we all need to be shopping for 16 1/2 - 60/61

OP, are you looking to buy dress shirts? If so, check out Land's End. Great selection, quality and price. Between different colors, materials, collar styles, cuff styles, neck sizes and arm lengths, there are A LOT different shirts for a retailer to try and keep in stock. Land's End is big enough to have most of those in stock pretty much all the time.

I buy all my fancy clothes at Tractor Supply. It's a little bit of an uppity place but I can get Round-up and DEF at the same time.

All I know is that most clothing manufacturers have decided to shitcan the whole small, medium, large thing. Even within the same brand I might wear a large of one shirt and an x-large of another shirt. Clothing seems to have also expanded in width wear it feels like you are wearing a tent if you go by the arm length. Fitted or athletic cut shirts are now what a regular size used to be and a large tall (if they make one) seems to be what an x-large used to be.

All I know is Hawaiian shirts fit me way better now that I'm old and fat.

What Irving said. Neck and sleeve length.

Also what Little Dutch said. Ordering may be the best option if you aren't the typical "American Male" body type... Even though I don't think most guys are the "typical American Male" body type.

I am one of those guys that has a long torso for my height, so buying a shirt that is long enough in the body, but not a freaking tent, has always been a challenge.

Now that I have lost a bunch of weight, and am continuing to do so, I am putting more effort into finding clothes that fit well. Getting your measurements (Neck, chest, arm length, actual waist measurement, inseam/outseam) will help in buying well fitting clothes.

UntuckIt makes some really nice button shirts, but they are more often more "casual". (not cheap)
Jos A Bank is also a good resource.
Honestly, Kohls house brand Croft and Barrow has a decent selection of button down shirts for varying body types and sizes. Solids, patterns, long sleeve, short sleeve.


If anyone is seeing the ads on the internet for True Classic Tee's or whatever the other brand is, they are just re-labeled Next Level 6210 t-shirts, which can be had here for $4-6/ea.

Much nice than Walmart/etc, but similar price and better fit.

I honestly don't mind clothing being in a numbered size. Buy and walk out the door knowing it fits right. The last time I tried something on I probably was in grade school.

Condolences to all women out there, their clothing sizes need a degree in bullshit to wade through. Arbitrary numbers and sizes that manufacturers fudge on to try to create "self esteem brand loyalty" means they might as well label everything as size "guess".
