Where do you men shop for regular sizes?



Recommended Posts

I was a big Goodwill shopper for the first year. My sizes were changing so often, I hated spending $40 for a pair of jeans that was only going to fit me for a couple months. Same thing with shirts. I started at a XXL shirt and am now in Medium. From 40/42 waist to 32. I hated wearing baggy clothes and was elated to wear clothes that fit. $6 - $8 for a nice pair of Levi's and $4 for a nice shirt.

Annnnd ... you are also helping out an institution that does some good. Many may question that, but that is not a topic for discussion here. I donate my clothes back and buy some new(used) ones. I look and feel great and it works for me.

Now that my size has somewhat stabilized, I shop the department stores like Alex does.

Castiel ... oye!

Even past 45 ...

Better look out. If you get too close to me I might take a swipe at you with my cane!

Isn't that awesome? When I bought my jeans at Walmart a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe how cheap the price was compared to Casual Male.

Although I hate CM, and have vowed to never shop there again, I went into one this weekend and returned a few XMas presents that were far too large...they were very helpful, and I actually walked out with a pair of 42-32 pants. I'm not a 42, but I will be soon. :)

I cut up my Casual Male rewards card the other day. Man I've had that thing a while. I did go in there one last time and the lady stopped me and said "you know this is a big mans shop don't you?". I guess I better not come back then.

Kohls, Macy's, Younkers, Nike, Under Armour oh and I'm still a big fan of thrift shops. I have been amazed at some of the great quality name brand items I find there.

Agree with the above. I am still buying my clothes at value village just because it is more economical. I guess once a thrifty person always a thrifty person. I really do not see myself throwing around money at the mall. It is not me.

I bought some pants, and two casual shirts, at Bjs yesterday. I'm down to a 44, so selection wasn't great, but I could find pants with just a little searching, no problem, even with a 32 inseam. Looks like most of their pants go up to 42 waist, so I'll be able to find more soon. :)

So nice to pay $15 for a decent shirt!!!! Even the pants were like $20 and a name I recognized!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
