From a combination of losing some weight and usual wear and tear, I need some threads. I refuse to go to the mall and I refuse to order from any vendor that refers to shirts as "tops" and pants as "bottoms." Is there anywhere online I can just input my specs and order some random button down shirts? I don't give a shit is they're striped or whatnot, I just need some shirts without dealing with any faggotry. My geographical location prohibits me from wanting to visit any clothing store whatsoever. It's always a fucking madhouse anywhere you go.

Is there by chance, a site sponsor that sells clothes?

I buy my casual clothes from Academy Sports, my work business dress stuff from Kohls, and my socks and polo shirts at Sams.  My funeral/wedding/court appearance suit was bought at Men's Wearhouse.

Right now, my wardrobe consists of about 90% Columbia fishing shirts from Academy. It's hard to pull off a suit with a fishing shirt. There's a Men's Wearhouse here, but their prices are ridiculous and they have those faggy dragon-print-with-goth-shit shirts all around.

I will inform you, but you won't like the answer.

Brooks Brothers.  You go in and get sized and get two copies of your measurements.  If you are "normal" , then you strike up a repoire with a member of the staff.  If you are not "normal", you go semicustom  This means that with your measurements, a suit is made up in New York according to a pattern you choose.  I happened to have chosen suits with functional button holes and two pair of pants, but no vest.  You sit down more than you wear a jacket.

About this time everyone starts with the " I don't need a suit."  BS.  My brother-in-law came up through the ranks in construction  When he became a contractor, he followed my advice and put a suit and shirt and dress shoes in his construction trailer on a coathanger  Makes a difference when going to a meeting with a client or submitting a bid, right?

I read that you weren't near anything.  You  get measured.  You keep the measurements.  Then, whether you use Brooks Bros or anyone else mail order, you have the measurements.  

At this stage, if you don't know, for example, your suit size, arm length, neck size, waist size, shoe size, you had better get busy.

I just had two new suits taylored in the past three months, so I'm good there. Just looking for everyday shirts. I usually wear a button down untucked over a G19 in a MTAC. I prefer a somewhat fitted shirt so I don't look like a complete slob.

LL Bean or Lands End, I would think.

If you want the best quality and are willing to pay for it then Brooks Brothers oxford shirts are the gold standard.

Bergdorf Goodman.

Actually the 3 for $200 shirt deal + sale or coupon at Brooks Bros FTW.  Three well fitting, non-iron, long wearing shirts.  When you take the durability and no need to iron or dry clean out of the mix, these are downright cheap.

Brooks Bros slim fit shirts are perfect.  They aren't skinny they just don't billow like most dress shirts, works perfectly for my MTAC.
