I am broke college student that does not have much of a ward robe due to my weight. I am 6'3" tall and wear a 2x or 3x TALL in shirts. I bought a pair of jeans the other day that are decent and I am thinking about buying a nice shirt. Any ideas on where to go for a nice shirt tomorrow before sarging? My budget is about $70.

i wear tall sizes. I don't find too many stores that carry them in the stores for short notice, but occasionally i can talls in the solid color Express long sleeves, but none of the trendier shirts in talls.

Banana Republic has talls but only online.

Yeah, I may just settle for Casual Male for short notice but go online for next time.

Clothes suck. Plight of the big man. i've given up hope of finding anything fashionable. i pretty much have to rotate through solid color shirts. :)

Well I got a dress shirt today that I can wear with my clothes in clinic and a tie to go with it. I think it will work with jeans too. We will see. Since its a dress shirt with a long tail, I am not sure if it will work with jeans though...

You may want to consider going online for overseas custom tailoring. I've personally
visited several shops in Bangkok that do online ordering, and they all did excellent
work for less than US pricing for good off the rack stuff. Bangkok and Hong Kong are
both centers for this kind of thing. The suit and shirts I purchased in Bangkok were one
of the *best* investments I've ever made, for both business and PUA activities.

Doing a quick search it looks like the pricing isn't as good as it used to be due to the
crappy exchange rate, but you still may want to consider it later on since you'll be getting
something that is made to fit *you* and not a generic size range.
