Butch Attire & Fashion

[Medusa]

Hey Belle!

I buy clothes for my Butch!

Jack is mostly able to wear clothing right off the rack with the occasional cuff hem and such for length. She wears men's clothes exclusively.

I will say that fit is not exclusive to gender. People of every gender have to be mindful of body shape. I've seen people of all genders wear things that may not be as suited to their body shape, especially if they are pear-shaped, have a very long torso, very short legs, etc.

Jack is long and lean, but I don't consider (and neither does she) her shape to be "typically male". She's a woman and her body is just long and lean.

We've had very good luck with certain brands fitting her body shape better than others. One of the coolest things is that we found that the "George" brand from Wal-Mart actually makes a nice suit pant that fits her almost perfectly. Other brands that we've found that fit her well are Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss. I think these brands have a lot of options with very slim cuts and these seem to suit her shape very well!

WEE!

Great!!! I did buy Bully a Calvin Klein polo shirt a few months back that fit perfectly. I'll have to check out the other ones you listed.

I agree of course that everyone has "fit" issues. No matter the gender, that's a given. Since i'm new to buying men's clothes for Bully, there are certainly different challenges than what i have been used to. They are made to fit men. Someone should come out with a butch line of clothes, if they haven't already. Lengths, including arm length, shoulder width, tightness around the chest, etc has been a real learning experience for me.

I will definitely check out those brands you listed. As a matter of fact today is a shopping day!! Hooray!!!

Thanks for the tip!!!

i've wanted for a long time to have my own line of butch clothing. and have the coolest t shirts, like, "i love the slope of a curve". you know, reba mcentire has her own clothes. rob kardashian has his own sock line. socks! there's something else that doesn't always fit me right.

Hey ruff,

Check the company website to see where they sell their clothing.

Also check Ebay, a lot of retailers sell new clothing through there.

Thanks Sun. I wasn't looking for that specific brand. Guess I should have noted that. Hell Kmart, Walmart, Target is good by me. I just like that type of vest jacket. I've noticed it on some guys and I like it! I'll do a search on vest jacket and go from there but if anyone seen them at any stores holla at me. Thanks!

My boots for a snowy day like today... since my feet are too small to wear Men's shoes, I shop in the Boys dept at Marshall's. Found these there - yay.

Hey Metro these look great.

I also have feet that make it so that I can't shop the mens shoe department because I come in at a women's size 8ish which translates into a EU 39-40 or a mens 7 and the stores only stock down to a size 8.

I don't know your shoe size, but my whole shoe world (fetish) changed when Zappos.com opened. I can now shop literally thousands of mens shoes online and their customer experience is fantastic. Depending on brand, I frequently see down to a size 6 and most half sizes too.

One thing that I did at first was read a lot of the reviews to see what people said about fit. Sometimes a manufacturer runs a half size small or something like that. I also wear orthotics and have to buy shoes that can accommodate that. Not much of a problem, I have settled into about 4 really large companies that offer a lot of range in style and meet my needs in my price range. Shoe shopping has gone from pain in the arse to hella fun.

That is something I alluded to earlier, but didn't say clearly. I have found that if one item of a certain brand fits me, other items might, too. Like I said earlier, Calvin Klein works for my dress clothes. Sleeve length is the biggest barrier for me when it comes to dress clothes and Calvin Klein fits the bill.

I like things to be really simple. I like to get in and get out. I find a brand or two that fits my build and then can feel confident in buying. No doubt this isn't for sure in all cases, but it is something to stick in the back of your mind after finding something that works for you. Since the Calvin Klein polo shirt fit Bully so well, belle, you may want to not only go back to Calvin Klein when you need another polo shirt, but consider if the rest of the clothing line would fit her well, too.

ETA: I saw one or two butch clothing lines on the web before. One, was custom made clothing...ummmm, no. The other had only a handle of pieces, none of which I was attracted to. I think we are still waiting...

Well we could start one (Butch/TG/FtM clothing line). All of us!!! Like a family business. I started knitting tonight and i've learned how to do a cast stitch. Heck i'm almost a pro.

I'll make the sweaters.

Honestly, it ain't a bad idea. We could get that island Medusa wants and all live together.

Happily ever after.

Some Calving Klein button down shirts work for me too. The sleeve lengths can be challenging for me with many brands. CK t-shirts I have had good luck with. Fitted button downs wind up becoming an option and the Mens Wearhouse always has sleeve lengths that work for me.

Jeans were a problem in the past but with so many low rise options they are the least of my concern now.
