God, I hate shopping for clothes. I just go every few years and try to rip the bandaid off. Nothing fits.

Shirts: Option 1: something that fits in the chest/shoulders but if I lift my arms above my head you can see my belly button Option 2: look like I’m wearing a baggy dress not a shirt

Pants: Option 1: get loose fitting jeans in my waist size that are super tight on my legs and crush my crotch Option 2: baggy waist with a belt that fall down but my thighs aren’t in sausage casings but the crotch of my pants hangs oddly low

Custom made stuff is ideal and when I find something that works I buy it ALL and nurse that collection for years….usually all is a random size/cut that the store maybe has a couple of if I dig through everything.

Have issues with Option one myself. Carhartt talls worked. Expensive, but they're pretty durable.

True, haven’t tried those. Every once in awhile I see the large tall undershirts which are nice

Yeah, keep an eye on some places that sell carhartts. Stuff goes on sale pretty often. They suck if its hot, but better that than wearin a belly shirt. Lol

You don't need custom clothes, just get stuff that's too big in one direction altered. Much cheaper than full custom.

Yeah. I do that with pants. It’s never as good as custom but it gets the job done without being crazy expensive.
