Yes, onlinely.
If you've ever seen a picture of me (any picture will do), you know I shouldn't have any trouble buying clothes if I had the power to go back to the early 90's. Unfortunately, I can't do that, and fashion seems to change a bit during two decades, so I can no longer find baggy/cargo pants and flannel shirts around here.
The one thing stopping me from being a sad grungy panda? Amazon.
I found some clothes I want there, but clothing sizes vary, so I don't know whether the products I like are too small (or, although unlikely, too big) in the US.
I'm 177cm tall (5 ft 9 1/2 in), and I weigh 75 kg (165 pounds, almost 12 stone). What shirt/trouser size would you recommend? Are the measurements they offer on Amazon reliable? |

No way I'm wearing her clothes :mad:
Besides, I've worn this nearly all my life, so don't expect my wife's taste to be any different from mine. |

| You'd probably be a 30-32 waist with a 30 inseam. And probably a medium shirt. |

Why would I even consider doing that?
Do I wear clothes because of other people? Anti-nudity laws notwithstanding, no, not really.
Will my female friends (or my wife) wear my clothes? Nope (although sometimes I do lend my shirt to my wife when she's feeling cold).
Do I feel like wearing anything else? Nay.
Baggy pants are comfy and very useful. Same with flannel shirts. That's all I want from my clothing, so I don't really need anything else. |

Well, even before my marriage, I never let any girl have a say on the way I dress. If a girl cares about my clothing more than she cares about my company, then she's not the kind of person I want to have by my side. |
