I want to mention http://www.zennioptical.com/ for glasses. People both here and irl have told me about them. For brick and mortar places, the hands down cheapest I could find was America's Best. http://www.twopair.com/

Also, http://www.retailmenot.com/ is good for discounts.

What size do you need?
My waist measure last time I checked was 40. Length 26. In jeans I can be anywhere between a 33-40 in the waist.

For shirts I'm a "standard fit" 16.5 (ish, depending on the company) and 30...maybe 31 length.

try old navy's website, though i find it very hard to believe you won't have to get your pants altered in some way.

Old Navy shirts aren't offered in collar size/sleeve length. Their shortest length is a 28, which really isn't a 28. Plus, I get panic attacks inside Old Navy, Gap, or Banana Republic. Not a good time.

A tip I found on tumblr

QuoteUSA short guys shopping for jeans-- The Buckle hems for free. Guy wanting the 38x28 -- you could get that done. And it's great work at all the places I've gone. This is the main reason I shop there.

I was talking about old navy for your abnormal pant size.

That was my comment on length. Shortest is 28 which is really more like a 30/32.

Well then apparently you need a tailor and some benzos.

Does anyone know how to hem themselves? It's not that difficult and can be done with a basic sewing kit. Plus, it saves money.

You don't need to hem. Get Style Snaps!
https://www.buystylesnaps.com/

Saw a commercial for it the other day. Never tried them since I don't care if my pants are a little long. 28s are perfect 30s are wearable and they always have 30s.

Just cuff your pants.


I know people who simply cut off the bottom of the jeans and restitch.
There's easy vids on youtube explaining how to do it properly.
But seriously, if the only problem is length, you should just cut it off and stitch it, or ask family if they can do it :S

I shop at Karmaloop a lot, but that's because I'm a rep (it's Plndrs sister site). This site has bigger size pants. I ordered 44x30 for a buddy of mine a few months back. You're more likely to find bigger sizes in NON kazbah items, and if you want a 20 percent discount you can always PM me. XD

Oh and Urban outfitters

I just wanted to comment though on the length issues(I looked, and I didn't see where it had been said). For you shorter guys with bigger waists - try cuffing your pants without the need to hem them. I can't sew for jack shiz, so I can understand frustrations lol. Cuffing to me looks good if you have the right pants. I wear a 32 length pant, so I don't really have issues, but I still cuff my jeans. I like it.

I've been directed to old navy by friends who are shaped like I am. Tbh I don't buy things there, and they do seem to assign sizes to their clothes in a weird way, but last I checked they had pants that fit me. I have a very wide pelvis even for a female-bodied person (though without the hips/thighs), and short legs, so finding anything that comes near fitting has been hard for me in any department.

I'm lazy and I tend to just cuff my pants. Sometimes I cut them but I almost never bother to hem them if they aren't fraying. That may change though. I used to never look in mirrors, and now I do.

If I could look like that "Phashionably Late" guy I'd be pretty happy about it.
