    Clothing is made for FAT people

    I am sick and tired of buying shirts in my size that end up looking like a tent around my waste. Broad shoulders and a 32" waist are indeed a hindrance to finding decent threads. I guess everyone in an XL or XXL should have a 50" waist, then the clothes would fit. Don't even get me started on finding a f**king pair of jeans. Sorry, my wife bought me some clothes yesterday that look retarded, so I just had to rant

    oh. yeah i'll give you that. dress shirts suck. i would buy 15 1/2 b/c they fit perfectly around the torso but too tight in the neck and chest.

    but even up one size from that and all that extra fabric is coming out when you tuck it in. i hate it. try express. they seem to have pretty good fitting shirts

    I always have my dress shirts tailored to get the V shape. Luckily I don't have to wear them that often which keeps the cost of this habit minimal. Many dry cleaners can do this for $7-10/shirt or you can have it done at place that sells them like Men's Warehouse.

    I have found a tailor that custom makes dress shirts for me. The cost is almost the same as a quality dress shirt plus tailoring. If you tell them that you are a bodybuilder they should be able to leave some extra room for growth without making it look baggy.

    Dude I hate it too. When I tuck my shirt in, it just doesn't work out very well.

    I have a whole closet full stuff that fits like shit.

    I am in the same boat. I'm 5'9", 210lbs, 48" chest, 33 inch waist. My arms are only 32" long but my neck is 18" wide. I have to wear suits to work everyday, and they have to reaaaaally be tailored to fit (my tailor laughs at me). Shirts? SHIRTS? Since I have an 18" neck, the common arm length is about 36 inches and that is WAY TOO LONG. I have to have EVERY shirt and suit I wear tailored, and I have no plan to stop growing anytime soon.

    Did you ever see what an XL-XXL shirt looks like on a guy who is only 5'9"? It looks like i'm wearing a dress to the Oscars.

    I have to wear dress shirts also. I buy Roundtree and York Fitted Dress Shirts (Dillards or Macy's). They taper to the waist so I don't have that tent around my belt line. Try those out.

    I went into Macy's last year, and I couldn't even find a t-shirt that fit, much less a dress shirt. Penney's is better, but you still end up having to buy a huge shirt around the abdomen to fit well in the upper body. Tailoring is the only way to go if you really want things to fit, IMHO.
