Khaki Pants Advice

I have my first internship coming up and I want to know if y’all have any advice for high quality and well fitting khaki pants for around the office. I wear 42 x 32 pants normally and the khakis I have already look very baggy. I’m looking for something similar to Birddogs (unfortunately they only carry up to waist size 40) and that can fit my thighs without the issue of being too baggy. Thank y’all!

Large head, hard to find fishing hats.

So I've seen the ads on Facebook about Mammoth headwear, tried them out and I now own 3 of them. I'm trying to find a boonie hat for fishing that has the same fit and feel as they do. I sent them an email a week or so ago and just heard back. They mentioned if enough larger headed gentlemen were interested, they would 'more than likely' produce them.

With that being said, are there enough giant fishermen out there looking for hats like that so I can send them enough interest to produce them or is there an alternative that would fit comfortably and around the same $70(guestimate from their other products) or less price point?

Button down shirts similar fit to Brooks Brothers?

I wear business casual or dressy casual clothes to my office job, and suits with a dress shirt a couple times a month. I really like how the Brooks Brothers button down shirts fit, I especially like their Oxford, poplin, and linen shirts, size XXL blue label (regent/regular fit). I guess maybe they call them sport shirts now. I’m tired of their high prices and crappy customer service, especially after several shirts have ripped, buttons have come loose, etc. I also don’t have a store near me anymore. I’ve had trouble finding a good fit with over brands, and I’m looking for recommendations. Thanks!

How to hide, draw attention away or not feel self conscious of man tits

Hey guys, this is a throw away and I’d like to say thank you guys for all the help for the huggable peeps like me out there. But I do have issues with my gynecomastia it’s worse than most and really noticeable. It’s warm and I like wear tank tops but if I lean too much to the side I have a moob falling out. Also wearing some fabric tshirts just make them seem more pronounced then others. Should I invest in a man-bra if they make those? But yeah if guys have an tips or tricks I’d be happy to hear

Tri-Blend t-shirts for Summer

Hello All,

With the summer coming I am hunting for some soft cook tri-blend t-shirts. It has been a bit of a blackhole so far. I am looking for shirts in a 5x or preferably 5xlt. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have tried DXL and had no luck.

Thank You!

Pants for big guy with FLAT ASS

I’m a bigger guy, getting smaller, and all of my weight is on the front of my body. I get pants that fit my waist but my ass is FLAT as a goddamn board. It looks like my pants are sagging as a result too. And sometimes they are because of the lack of butt to hold them up.

Any advice on style, brand, or anything else is welcome

Site for big shoes

I wear a size 18 and can’t find any websites that have cool shoes. I like basketball shoes the best and it’s been tough finding anywhere with much of a selection at all. Thanks in advance!

Athletic Slim 2XL Shorts

I've found the brands and styles that fit me the best are Athletic Slim 42*32 Jeans from Men's Warehouse and 2XL slim fit button up shirts. It is an awkward size. Everything is either tight on the legs or tight on the waist, and most shorts sit too low on the waist.

Anyone know any brands / products that are good?

Any recs on business casual for summer weather?

Hey all!

Looking for recs for summer business casual!

I just started a new job and I've run into a problem. Namely, that it's an office job.

I work in tech. My last four years were fully remote. The job I was in before that was a very casual tech company-- mostly younger 20s employees, shorts/jeans and t shirts.

My new company is a little more old school, older employees, etc. I can still get away with a polo or solid color nicer T-shirt with dark jeans, but definitely not shorts.

Anyway, summer has started here (Washington, DC), and it's been 90 degrees F (32+ C) for several days with no signs of cooling down for the next 5 months.

I am in a dark short sleeve Henley today with dark jeans. And I am sweating bullets while typing this. I'd love some recs for things to wear to work (especially pants) that won't destroy my bank account. I've generally had bad experiences with how khakis look on me and big guys in general, which is why I wanted to ask here.

I'm 33, generally wearing a 2XL shirt and 40 jeans. If it matters for the cut of clothes, i'm a powerlifter, so I've got a super broad chest, thick thighs, and a huge donk.

(Also, given I spend most of my time in the gym, I'll also appreciate recs for gym clothes since I wear through them quickly and casual summer hang clothes since my default is also gym clothes for those--aside from two pairs of chubbies shorts.)

Thanks for your help!

Shorts with a hook closure, not a button - product recs?

I’m looking for a recommendation for men’s shorts that have a hook mechanism as the main closure, not a button (button on the outside for aesthetics is fine). I had a pair years ago from the Gap that were awesome but over time they just got grungy and now they’re out of the rotation except for yard work and messy grilling.

I don’t know what it is about the quality of shorts buttons that seem so much worse than other types of clothes, but over the years I’ve had issues with them popping off or cracking in ways I never had with khakis. I have a few pairs of elastic waistband/tie shorts that are okay, but, honestly, they’re a nuisance to pull down partway at urinals because they’re stiffer and less stretchy than basketball shorts and such.

I’m a 42” waist and prefer an inseam in the 6- 9” range. Anyone know of any shorts that fit the bill?

Extra Long Hat Strap

Hi Everyone, hoping for some advice. I bought a hat while travelling and I love it - unfortunately I suffer from a larger than normal brain haha (this is what I tell my wife) so normal hats often are too snug.

I’m looking to get extra long SnapBack straps so I can replace the straps on this hat - as the rest of it fits fine I just can’t buckle it..

After extensive googling I can only find extender bars however can’t find anywhere that sells replacement XL straps…

Any advice? Much appreciated in advance

Weird trends in clothes

Idk if I'm crazy but i've noticed this trend of shorts where the crotch is cut like super high and it makes it uncomfortable to pull them up to waist height. Does any one else notice this as well or is this just me? This has been between levis and chubbies brands now.

Shorts that aren't awful.

6'4", 54in waist and looking for shorts that aren't basketball shorts, have 14in inseams, or just look like shit.

Preferably shorter inseams, but honestly something that just doesn't make me look like I only get joy from mowing my lawn is all I want.

Kind of wish we had an option like this.

Every day shirt

I’m a bigger guy (trying to lose weight) that works from home. I’ve found myself wearing t shirts or tank tops way too often. What’s the easiest every day shirt that will look better? I ask for easy so that I know I’ll actually wear them instead of something more comfortable. I’m looking for something that I’m fine wearing around the house or going out in.

Thanks!

Trans Guy Looking for Stores

I'm 5'3", 54 in waist, and I weigh about 330 lbs. I'm finding it nearly impossible to find clothes to fit me. Walmart, Ross, Goodwill...none offer anything in my size. I also need options that are more affordable, as I'm on a very limited budget.

I'm located in Florida, if that makes a difference.
