I was born and raised in the city and I grew up in the hills.These days I wear mostly Levis jeans and tank tops(it being summer)and casual tshirts,cowboy boots,urban boots,military tactical boots...oh,I love my boots.I wear trucker caps or baseball caps to shield my eyes from the sun.I'm known to wear camouflage jackets,shirts,pants when i'm out with nature.I wear long sleeve mens shirts,cargo shorts(it being summer)..with a pair of boots,of course.When its 100 plus outside I don't wear much at home or at my private swimming hole.A suit and tie is not my every day wear idea but it sure looks good on some butches in this thread.I also wear leather,but thats for special ocassions.

I wanted to tell everyone about a really good experience I had yesterday.

Now I'm definitely a jeans and t-shirt butch. Even for work, the extent of my "dressing up" is khakis and a polo. But I find myself needing something dressy for an engagement party I'm going to on New Year's Eve.

I decided to bite the bullet and get a nice suit. Something properly fitted and tailored. I decided to try Men's Wearhouse because that is their business. But I was a little worried because here I am, obviously female, walking into a Men's Wearhouse to get fitted for a suit.

Turns out I worried needlessly. What a great experience! They did not treat me differently or give me a hard time. In fact, they made me feel welcome and comfortable. Helped me find a suit that was sized right and had an in-house tailor to make the alterations necessary. They even helped me match shoes, shirts, ties... Everything I needed to complete the look.

Now I won't lie, it was more expensive than I had anticipated. But well worth it. I know that I'll be looking sharp for the party and walked out of there feeling very confident.

I'm not a clothes horse, BUT I do think a nice white long sleeve shirt, black dress slacks and black dress shoes look rather good on me~!

Black for me
 

I wear black jeans, black T or black button down shirt and black suede cowboy boots or leather boots. I am told it looks good with my now pure white hair. What can I say. The ladies cant be wrong. Oh and a black dress jacket when needed.

I have heard many times that Men's Wearhouse treats butches well and they don't bat an eye at a butch coming in. It must be something in their policies or something because I think the stores are all over the country.

Yes, I have had veru good experiences with Men's Wearhouse in several different states of the U.S.- in the East, West and South regions. They obviously train their staff well. I have been treated very well whether buying or renting in all stages- helping find clothes, fitting, tailoring, try on, picking up and returning (tuxedos).

I am not the Dapper/ GQ butch type, my girl happens to like me in my jeans and cowboy boots!

I told her however that IF we ever get married that I will wear a tux,something I have never worn before.

Men's Wearhouse is a good place to get clothes, they have treated some of my friends really well and they have great customer service as well. My brother used to work there so I am somewhat familiar with them.

Men's dress shoes in women's sizes
 

Being so short that you have to have all your pants cut and hemmed even though the pants are supposedly the length on the label.

Lol yeah this happens all the time.

Oh IF I was only young enough to pull this look off! I'd toss my boring old dull sneakers in the trash! Yup, these, a pair of jeans, and a Chicago Cub's baseball shirt and jacket and off I'd go!

You could pull that off. It's just a matter of doing it.

BUMP BUMP!!!!!

Time to think flannel :hangloose:

Oh my flannel in August?

One must shop early....LOL

Lol. I can't do flannel, it doesn't get cold enough here for them. But I see native Texans wear them due to not knowing the 50 degrees is not that cold.

Temperature dropped 20 degrees here, I knew I should of gotten that shirt!

Lol that's your fault for not getting the shirt. :p

Any of yall ever bought from dapper boi?

http://www.dapperboi.com/

I've always loved a crisp white button up shirt so starched that it could stand up on it's own.

Bonus points for French cuffs!

This looks like a very good deal for a butch who has a hard time buying men's shirts due to wider hips and buttocks (per site). It's available for 14 more days.

Not my thing but I figured I would post it for the others.

It's nice I must admit but right now they don't make big Boi sizes.

Now That's What I'm Talkin Bout:hangloose:

This is a great shirt just not crazy about the pocket.

hire seamstress to remove it.

Thanks for the tip but I think one might be able to tell there was once a pocket.

Most of my shirts, nice ones have pockets but this type of shirt shouldn't have a pocket. Looks classier without one.

I don't do any shirts with pockets. I don't want to draw attention to my chest.

I can understand that.

Not if done by professional. After steam pressing there will be no marks.
Such a repair can be done well. If not washed and dried it's an easy fix.

I have kinda become accustomed to khakis and polos, again!

I guess due to ALOT of job interviews you start to get comfortable in certain clothes, plus dropping 26 pounds in a year has helped too.

I found another site but this time it is for underwear, it's not men's underwear but underwear that looks like men's but fits the body. I find it expensive but may purchase a pair to see if they fit better then what I currently wear.

Hey thank u for posting this! I checked out their site and they have some good stuff!:hangloose::hangloose:

Yes they do. Glad you found the link helpful.

Do yall dress according to what your partner likes or what you find comfortable for you?

My gf loves me in polo shirts for some reason, I go along with it at first but now I don't mind looking nice for her. Lol she's the only gf that I have actually dressed up for.

I honestly have never had a GF not like the way I dressed. So, changing style in any way has never been a problem. My GFs have suggested certain colors if I am trying on clothes in a store, and I will often go with what they like. I tend to trust the people's opinion that I date. I suppose that is because I typically couple with people who in my opinion (ha), has good taste/wears what looks good on them. If my partner and I are going out somewhere dressed up, I always encourage them to tell me what they would like me to wear. Too, if I presenting at a conference or some other professional affair where I will be "front and center", I tend to go with their suggestions.

I also wouldn't be adverse to trying a different style in the store if they thought it would look good on me. However, no one has ever suggested I wear something that I wasn't comfortable in. But, in the off chance that someone asked me to wear something that I wasn't comfortable in, I would try it, but unless I liked it, no, I wouldn't wear it. I am also comfortable letting my GFs know what I prefer on them. This would be clothing styles that are already a part of their wardrobe. I don't have a sense of the latest "trends" that women are wearing, so it is not like I ever come "home" and make random suggestions. Too, it isn't important to me that my GF is wearing the "latest trend", I just like whatever I think is most flattering to the person...and like I said, my comments would only come from their current wardrobe.

I wear black shirts with tiny spots of brown colored bleach stains..The other night a black kitten in distress found me while doing my laundry and I brought her in to feed and water. She totally compliments my attire and blends right into my apartment. She is so cute with her little brown spindle spots scattered here and there..I swear I did not spill bleach on her, but one would think that..
