Slim Guys! Where do you shop for clothes?
Hello slim guys of CP! I want to get my man some new clothes for Christmas - some dress pants for work, and a few casual dressy button-down shirts (for going out to dinner at a niceish place, for example). I was going to order from his favourite site but they're only out of the states now, and I couldn't find a lot in his size, so as a result I was looking at paying a hefty international fee for two shirts 
So back to the point: where can I look locally for slim fit dressy clothes? I was going to look at Banana Republic but I'm not sure where else I should check out.
Thanks!
(Bet my husband sees this thread, and he's totally gonna know it's me  Hi!)

Banana republic is tough because the stuff is really nice, but can be pretty expensive depending what you are looking for. Online can have some pretty good sales, but they do sizing as S/M/L/XL so if your husband doesnt fit exactly that, it may not fit right.
Can always try J-crew too, but may be a bit casual.
My favourite one I found was 1670 at the Bay. Affordable and made for slim people. https://www.thebay.com/1670/Men/shop...ndLanding=true

The American Girl Doll store perhaps has a selection for petite men?

Sounds like someone went up a size in his clip on tie.

RW&Co seems reliable for the stuff you're looking for while being a bit cheaper than BR.

He's not petite, he's quite tall actually. Just one of those tall slim-built guys. Maybe I should have mentioned that

Yes, this would be a hard shape to shop for.

I have the exact same issue. Try RW&Co for sure. Also Simon's downtown.
RW can seem a little overpriced for what it is, but they have good sales all the time it seems. Regular 30%, 40% off deals, keep your eyes peeled for one.

Indeed. Make the man fit the clothes!
If you have trouble with that what you need to do is find either a Russian, Polish or Italian Grandmother.
