And, one hopes, his birthday suit. I used to have a devil of a time finding shirts in stores. Men's sleeves typically come in 34"-35" and then 37"-38", and I'm an exact 36". I probably have close to 200 shirts, and something like 90% came from resale shops or estate sales. I also have more than 200 ties, and if I paid more than $4 apiece for most of them, I'd be surprised. Absolute gems available resale/estate sale. Another mystery is men's underwear sizes: 36"-38" or 40"-42". Why not 38"-40"? A real cop-out is shirts (and underwear) labeled "XL" or "XXL" -- what does that mean? Give precise measurements. Even worse are boys' sizes -- M, L, XL are all over the place in actual size. Agreed, si Y ma'am.

Perceptive comments as always, Y ma'am. I have something like 19 suits, and either 13 or 14 came from estate sales or thrift shops. Some fit me off the metaphorical rack, and others needed only minor alterations. Many are 4-button suits by the big names. I can't recall having paid more than $20 for a suit for years -- it's usually been far less -- and I kick myself for having bought retail for so many years prior.
