Don't worry, I also have  problems in finding pants that actually fit. My waist is too small and my bottom is too big to fit in regular jeans. Because of this I always need to wear a belt to prevent them from sliding down a couple of centimeters.

I kinda have this problem with mens(which is all I wear) but it's not that the clothes are too small.  I can find jeans to fit, but the max that most jeans go in magizines are 38waist, I need a 42. As for shirts I have a horrible time with shirts. A extra large can fit in waist but not in the shoulders. I need to wear a 2x and sometimes bigger because my shoulders are too big. There not really broad there just big around and armpit holes don't fit.   
Don't want to sound rude or anything but I would rather have clothes to big then to small. If I could fit a medium shirt and a size 36 in mens I'd be happy. Uhhh, I need to go on a diet.
I dont know where you guys wear your jeans but I wear mine very low, like an inch or 2 below the crack so my butt fits in them.

I could wear boy's clothes pre-T...try looking there. Clothes are also cheaper there. I'm 5'8" but I could at least wear a boy's XL shirt. A men's small used to dwarf me.

now since T, I can wear a men's M to L in shirts, and only men's jeans cause boy's shorts are far too little now. It's not that I gained weight either but my shoulders broadened out and my waist structure changed. So don't lose hope. It does change with T and time.

I'm short and chunky. My hips are much wider than my shoulders so it's crazy hard to find clothes. Sleeves are too long, shirts I have some hanging, everything is too tight in the hips and there's always too much fabric in the armpit area. It's also hard to find jeans with a 26 inch inseam that fit.

I did, however find a website that tailors clothes for you which seems to be pretty darn good if you know your measurements. I'm thinking about buying a suit from them. Investing in getting clothes tailored might be good for you, plus it'll fit better than anything off the rack!

Oh, dear god, me too. I'm short and narrow.. I wear XS womens, so there's exactly zero chance of finding anything small enough in the mens. I seem to find pants  in the boys that fit fine, but shirts are a nightmare. Anything long sleeve will be too short in the arm if I make it fit my shoulders, or ridiculously wide in the shoulder and body if I get the sleeve length right. I used to fix it up on my sewing machine, but unfortunately it didn't follow me when I last moved house. One day I'll get around to buying a new one...

I, too, have run into the boy's shirt sleeve dilemma. Unless it's terribly cold, I've found that cuffing the sleeves of shirts a few times helps disguise that they're too short. This works best for buttondowns. Sweaters and other long sleeves can be pushed up. Sometimes, you have to get creative.

Yeah, I tend to roll or push up all my sleeves. It doesn't just help disguise sleeve length discrepancies, it also just seems to look better on me. Even with my little tiny bony forearms.

We totally need a stuck post just on clothes! It's come up a lot and I think it would be cool to have all the clothes stuff in one post.

Btw, wearing button down shirt with rolled up sleeves myself today.

Agreed completely. I'm pretty sure there's an mtf board on fashion - whose to say us guys shouldn't have one too?
All in favor?

I am. I love fashion. (How girly, huh?)

Who do we need to pester for a guy fashion board

When it comes to shirts I have a choice of buying one that's a tad too small around the torso (because I bind) or the sleeves end up being too long and it looks awkward on my shoulders. Pants are a nightmare for me, and not even because of my hips, per se, but more because of my ass... I take forever when I go shopping, trying on three different sizes of each shirt, shorts, and pants within a specific size range. ]x

got the same, so for pants, i just stick with one style and buy it in countless colours... not much problems with shirts, thankfully.
BUT, since i finally managed to lose some weight, i'm planning to ditch the jeans+bandshirt thing partially for something more, uhm, dunno, classy(?), since i think i can get away with it now^^ that's gonna be one hell of a fight

Just curious:  is it as weird for you guys to switch to guy shirts that button "backwards" as it is for me to switch to blouses?  Dunno if I'm ever going to get the hang of it...

I hit up a mod about sticking a clothing post in this forum

@Colleen Ireland - honestly I don't find it that weird. 'Course I have mixed clothing too so many that's why ... I'm just used to both?

I have a bit of both, so I really never notice which way the buttons run. It's usually the chest space on woman's shirts that bothers me..

Awesome, thanks. I hope they add one soon.

This probably isn't what you're talking about (because I have no clue what you guys mean by buttons that run backwards) but I've noticed something weird. I still own two woman's polo shirts and several men's polo shirts. When I bind and wear the men's shirts I get a nice, flat chest... but when I slip on a women's polo I can see my binder underneath and it looks like I'm wearing a bra or something. Both polos were relatively loose, for lack of a better word.

That just... confused me. So much.

On men's shirts, the buttons are on the right half, the holes on the left.  I grab a button in my right hand, and push it through the hole on the left.  On women's blouses, it's the opposite - the buttons on the left, the holes on the right.  Damn difficult to switch when you've been doing it the "wrong" way all your life, lol...

Really? How the hell did I not notice this?! (I also feel silly for going into my closet to see for myself) I...I guess I just sort of switched without even realizing, damn.
