I usually wear clothes handed to me by male relatives, and to be honest I'm kind of sick of it. I wish I could wear my own clothing in my own size. There's no point in owning a $500 jacket or $200 shirt if it doesn't fit.

So the reason I'm creating this thread is... Do you have any comments on this or advice?

I could look into getting them altered or something, but it's not the same. I want to wear my own clothes. When will I be able to throw away all my old clothes and buy new ones in my size?

I'll be damned the day I'm 52 inches wide around the shoulders and have 36 inch sleeves like my Dad or my uncle. That's HUGE. I can't ever imagine being that big. If it matters, I think I have a 44 inch shoulder girth and 32 inch sleeves. :/
