Don't get me started on Chef Jackets ... fucking bullshit.
My favourite thing is finding a long sleeve shirt that fits perfectly everywhere except the sleeves are, like, six inches too short.
Stupid.
The problem is not only are Americans fat fucks, but almost all men's clothing outside of t-shirts and basics are meant to be tailored. Anything button up, chances are, have been made with a pattern that originally was meant to HAVE all that excesses fabric to allow a tailor to make modifications. The average shape of the modern man has of course, got bigger, so that messes everything up.
However, I know how hard it is to find well fitting skinny guy clothes off the rack. My brother is stick thin and six foot or so, and has had issues finding any button ups since he was a teenager. H&M fairs a little better about sizing for skinny fellows, so you may want to give that a try if there is one nearby.
I also have the same problem. It's one of the most frustrating things to do for me is try to find a shirt that fits my shoulders and breasts and also doesn't make me look pregnant or fat. Going up a size usually works better in the top, but like you I get left with a huge surplus of material that hangs extremely unflatteringly. The average stores selection is a crying shame. Also, empire waists so rarely hit me right that I don't even bother trying them on.Quote:

online store from poland, eh? link a sister :0
I found my $75 pair of Girbaud Jeans and I'm hoping they still fit.
I used to not give a shit, when I was a fat fuck. But now that I weight 186 and fit in a size 34; its becoming a major issue.Quote:

Edit. New stuff is available in May!
Edit edit. I felt (perhaps foolishly) compelled to post pictures of the two items I own from BiuBiu.

And the second one didn't want to attach, so here's another post. Woo.
Ignore the very uncombed, wet hair. Pictures are both from when I got them, say Jan. Blue water pattern shirt and a grey dress. And I say to you, I would buy more!

Yea same. I'm about 173 and am on medium but even a lot of medium shirts are too big around the middle. I bought a bunch of shirts last year that fit well when I was 180 but look like shit now.Quote:
