Where doyou buy clothes?

The Men's Warehouse.

By the way, does anyone know where to get size 15 shoes?

try having a 30 waist and a 36 insem, sucks. but for my nonwork pants I go 33/34, and let 'em ride low!

I think we were seperated at birth -- age 30, 28 waist and 30 inseam. I never find jeans that fit. Even if I do find them, the legs are way too small. Gap khakis all the way.

Just be glad you're not this guy

the guy on the right that is 29" waist 39" inseam. i took him clothes shopping one day - we went into the big & tall store, and the clerk got a look of fear. he was kind enough to measure so we'd know what to look for. finding stuff was a different matter. the short guy in the picture isn't a kid - he's 5'6".

Welcome to the club. I've been with a major U.S. corporation for 20 years. I need 29" waist with a 34" inseam and a 38 jacket. Buy quality stuff from a mens specialty store and have it professionally tailored....more expensive, but it will last much longer.

There are very few national chains that carry quality stuff..you're best off finding your locally owned store (Men's Wearhouse, S&K, etc. are garbage). Forget the major department stores...if you have any doubts as to the obesity in this country, just check out their clothes racks. Plenty of 34" inseams...but with a 44" waist.

My husband was a Polo and Hart Schaffner Marx guy and those clothes fit him beautifully. Now he wears tricolor BDUs courtesy of the U.S. Army, eliminating all fashion decisions.

Have you tried looking at the Land's End website? The quality is really good and they carry a wide array of sizes. You can even get you pants unhemmed and take them to a tailor to hem them exactly how you need them.

They also carry Land's End at Sears stores now, but I don't think you can get them unfinished at the store.

try express for men...otherwise known as structure...works well for me and i have the same size...

Dude, department stores suck. JosABank is pretty good. Depends on what you need, suits, slacks, etc. Mens Wearhouse is alright, but the stuff doesn't hold up that well. S&K same thing, but cheaper. If you just need an occasional suit, they're fine, but if you'll wear it often it won't last. Find out where the stodgy old men in your city shop, So and So's Mens Clothes, or something like that. Cost you a bit more, but they'll measure and tailor, you'll look sharp, and the clothes will be better quality.

Those who live in the San Francisco Bay Area can just go pretty much anywhere and buy off the rack - why? Because of the huge Asian population there which is generally smaller - thinner waists and shorter legs - I loved buy clothes out there.

k mart

You might want to try Stienmart or Marshalls. They buy clothes that Dept stores don't sell off the rack and usually have odd sizes. Unfortunatley, it's hit and miss. About every 4th time I go I can find something. I'm 29/36.

Mzungu,

Is the guy on the right a good runner?

not bad - 13:40's 5k, 28:50ish pr for 10k. his name is henry kipchirchir. he won a bronze medal at the african jr. champs in 2001 - ran 14:01 & 29:27 after 8 months of training. placed 9th in the 2001 kenyan xc nats for 8k. but he's grown like 3 inches since then, so he slowed a bit. he had a decent season last year - reach like #75 in the world rankings. i think this year might be better. the short guy won the guadalajara marathon last year (2:17 at 5,000ft) and has run 13:35.
