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!

I'm pre op but buy my jeans at The Buckle. I can't wait to be able to go to the mall and not have one specific store I have to shop at for shirts like I do now.

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.

That's super.

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!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
