    Clothes that fit question

    Just like when people get fat (bigger bellies) as we get bigger around in the chest and back, our shirts get short. Has anyone found a brand of shirt that is longer? Mainly what I am looking for are casual wear t-shirts. I found some, but can't wear Mere Mortal athletic wear shirts all the time... I have 4 different colors. I could go with extra large shirts, but then they would fit like a bag.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    xxL Athletic fit from Buckle is what I do. They're the only thing that sorta fits from what I have found. About to just start going generic xxxL because the xxL's are being outgrown fairly quickly.

    All the time. I'm inbetween sizes.

    U normally wear express under shirts. Large fits me ok but there just plan shirts different colors.

    I stay away from all there bro club crap though.

    There button up shirts (fitted) works well also.

    TAX,
    Ya that's because it is one of my mere mortal shirts that fits me right. most of my other shirts if i lift my arms up my belly button will show. I love the way these shirts fit.
    5mg liquid cia daily equals veins!

    Cialis, is kinda expensive. But if it makes your veins pop like that. Might be worth it!

    No way Liquid CIA doesn't cost much. Ok so 30ML @30mg per ML is 900mg in a bottle. $56.24 divided by 900 is 6 cents per mg. 30 cents a day 9 bucks a month. your pumps at the gym will be better and your BP and prostate will appreciate it!

    Larges are way too tight on me, but the length is just right. XL fits great in the shoulders and arms, but almost all of them are too long. I buy my dress (nice) shirts XL and get them tailored for the length. $12/shirt.

    its been a struggle for me too, so i simply go to the store and try them on. Kohls usually has good verity to choose from, but make sure you have your 30% coupon otherwise they screw you with prices.

I guess I should get out of the gym, side jobs, primary job, watching grandsons etc etc... and go shopping! My wife buys most of my clothes. Check out the mere mortal shirts just search them, link on FB too.

    Tax,
    In the summer if it's over 70 degrees and I am outside I never wear a shirt. My friends always try to tease me about it. I was hoping that we would have gotten some snow so I could take a pic snow-blowing with no shirt and make a Christmas card with it.

    Ya there is a fine line between to tight and trying to hard and to loose covering up your hard work. So snug is the word of the day!

    Here's what I do. Find any shirt you like buy the biggest size you need to fit your shoulders or whet ever. Turn it inside out. And lay a shirt that fits proper on top of it trace it with chalk. Have any on with a sewing machine sew cleanly along the lines. (They should run roughly from the arm pit to the waist line)
    Now cut away the extra material. You will have a shirt that fits your arms neck and shoulders that is long enuff to tuck in or how ever you wear it. And you won't be wearing a parachute around your middle . I do my own. It really opens up what shirts you can by if you like the design buy it big.

    I've done this before..... More like paid someone to doit for me lol.

    I can't do this with suits though. I need suits custom made now. My shoulder to waist ratio is too out of proportion to buy a suit and alter the pants.

    If I have to wear a suit I just stuff myself into what ever . I feel like a beast in a cage .
    My day to day work wear is forgiving.

    I see they have a trim fit too. We have a Duluth Trading Co. about 1hour and 30 minutes away.
    Tax you talkin about me? I am 5' 10" Nice locker room ahhhh! I love my gym I feel like a beast there. We used to have 2 guys that are bigger than me, but one went to crunch and the other just disappeared, so I am now the most muscular guy at my gym (pitiful I know). I love my gym...towel service, plenty of weights with no waiting, steam room, hot tub etc....

    Edit: I see you are talking about Hazard... ya how tall are you? You look short in front of those lockers...LOL

    Check out grunt style and ranger up.Both have very nice fitting shirts for broad shoulders and big arms.

    With ranger up I suggest either the athletic fit or vintage fit. Their normal fit T's I'm not a fan of.

    Grunt styles T's fit similar to ranger ups athletic fit. I'm 6' 215 and wear XL.

    And they both have motivational T's for lifting and mma style fighting T's

    I don't have that problem yet. Given the fact that my left hip is titanium and the Doc doesn't want me squatting more than 250 I may never have that problem. I do break the Docs guideline every leg day though.
