Clothes don't fit
Does anyone know where I can find large sized businesses shirts? I've been to Russian Market and Sovanna. Nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Tailoring. It's cheaper than a flight to Bangkok or Saigon.Cynome wrote:Does anyone know where I can find large sized businesses shirts? I've been to Russian Market and Sovanna. Nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I thought about doing that, but I thought that there'd be other options. I'm sure not all the expats here get their clothes tailored.
A lot do. Easier than trudging around markets and malls looking for something that fits and doesn't have a 15cm tall polo logo embroidered on it.. Go to one shop, get measured, show them what you want, pick fabrics, done. Drop by a few days later, check the fit and go. Usually no more expensive than a shop or market. Even easier if you've got something that fits exactly how you want it - have them copy it X times.

Choose cool, light fabrics. Cotton and no poly - sometimes there's poly in the blend and they'll swear blind it's 100% cotton. Feel it first and pay no heed to claims.

I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

True that. All the shirts I got tailored in Cambodia were long sleeved business shirts and a year or two later the cuffs were all about an inch shorter. Cant be arsed with sleeves these days so not such a big deal.RobW wrote:Ask for the material to be washed pre-tailoring or it may shrink on you.

I think one of the shops on the KFC side of Russian Market caters for fat bastards
I just order mine online from home & get them delivered <7 days usually. Much simpler, quality decent and about 10 from 10 deliveries without a single issue via normal post office or courier, depending on website. I tend to wait & buy in enough volume for free shipping ($200+ usually), job done.

O Russey market sometimes has large shirts. Morticia got me a few that fit nicely...for now. Nothing bigger after that, so tailoring is definitely the way to go overall versus the hit or miss of them having large sizes.

I think once a year the rotund (such as I ) and the muscular (such as Felger) need to send someone to Hawaii and get a blind tailor to make us shirts. I don't see Aloha shirts going down really well in business environments.
