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...

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.

In terms of shape I love them as well, but they are a bit long. They would make my feet appear to big. I am not sure how to make this make sense...one can have a similar style of shoe (and I do), but it not look as elongated as this. The elongation is what does not look attractive on me.

I have a pair just like this, same style and color but different manufacturer.
What I found is that they are sized well so I would say give them a try and if they do not work for you, you can always return them. Zappo's is great about returns.

This color is hard to match with a belt. I am still looking.

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!

I really like this

Affliction T

with these

Deisel Jeans

and these

Harness Boots

and this

Bracelet

[Sun]

I have this and it is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Really nice smooth, soft cotton. Lightweight enough for hot summer days or steamy nights in front of a roaring fire with someone who is raising the temperature in the room.

Polo Robe

I appreciate the links and want to comment on this one.

They lost me on the first intro line:

"Hautebutch defines the Butch aesthetic and lifestyle"

I do not think that any company should assume to be able to do
just that. Rather I think that individualism is sexy and attractive.

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.

Thx, Kelt. Yes, I also shop online from time-to-time but sometimes just prefer to try on w/out the wait. To add to your suggestion, I enjoy Aldoshoes.com (they also have retail stores) and they offer many Mens styles in smaller sizes. I wear US Womens size 7; Euro 37-1/2 or 38 ... a size really hard to find in Mens styles. So, sometimes I can find that size or just end up trying the Boys dept for shoes with the appropriate proportion -- altho some Boys shoes look too baby/chunky for my taste.

I found an article about clothing designed for butches. Apparently, there are several companies opening up that are designed for butch women, trans men, and other interested parties. This article mentions the three biggest ones. From what I read in the article, these three companies are doing business suits and formal wear. Hopefully, this helps a person or three out, here. http://www.butchwonders.com/1/post/2...es-really.html

Hiya Kelt

I also love Zappos. They have excellent customer service and a fabulous selection. If the size is off the return shipping is free. As crazy as it is, I lust after shoes and boots.

And a Harley.

LOL

When I shop online I get annoyed when the company does not list the content of fabric. I like to know what the fabric is made of. Especially if its something like boxer briefs. A percentage of lycra or spandex is useful sometimes and other times I want 100% cotton. Some items, such as dress shirts have fabric content listed as a norm. Not sure whats up lately with some other items.

Loving the vintage feel.

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for a Harley Davidson wallet with chain that I own, online and realized that they no longer make my model. Wow real genius here.

Interesting however, there are a ton of knockoffs online.

Scary.

The real deal = quality of the leather & the quality of the high gloss chrome chain is unmistakable. Hot.

Are you ACTUALLY getting a bike? There's nothing quite like that feeling. Hot!

I would watch eBay to see if one becomes available. Since it is no longer made, people probably are selling them.
