Guide for shoe shopping on eBay?
Hello!
I'm looking to start getting some shoes on eBay, since I see dudes on here getting AE and other high end leather shoes for like less than $100 a pair. Is there a guide anywhere on shopping with eBay? Like, things to look out for and stuff. Alternatively, any advice for a new guy to this world?

Clothes fitting for muscular guys
Howdy. I'm a pretty big dude, and I've been having some issues with fit on clothes. I bought a dress shirt from Spier and Mackay that fit my neck and sleeve length as I measured them, but some other factor, I think my back width, caused the sleeves to ride up massively when I lifted my arms. Is there any rule of thumb for buying clothes as a bigger guy, or is it just a matter of me doing a bad job measuring myselfm

Saved eBay searches for chinos/trousers
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get some new pants, I'm more into prep style fashion, so the brands I like are stuff like Spier and Mackay, J. Crew, LL Bean, etc. Does anyone have any saved eBay searches for Chinos, trousers, etc? The PTO search for contemporary casualwear seems like my best bet, currently.

Sweaters
Post 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm shopping on eBay with the PTO searches. Are V neck sweaters a yes or a no? I seem to remember hearing people saying they were a faux pas a few years back.

Could these stains feasibly be removed?
Howdy, I got a decent offer from the seller on these pants. Could these stains be removed with an oxiclean soak?

Need to overhaul my shoe wardrobe
Howdy,
As it sits, I have like 4 pairs of shoes, but they're all white. A pair of GATs, a pair of Stan Smiths, a pair Adidas Boosts, a pair of Saucony running shoes (for the gym, exclusively lol). Every single pair is white.
I gotta branch out. I've got a $500 budget. I was wondering if there was a recommendation list that you guys had. Similar to the basic bastard guide or whatever, a "we suggest you own these items." I'm aware I should get some boots probably, and some non white sneakers, so I'm eyeballing some Meermin boots and NB sneakers. But outside of that, I'm a bit clueless. Any suggestions are appreciated.

question about loafer sizing
Howdy,
Looking at a pair of AE loafers on eBay. They're a 13D. All the shoes I wear are 13. I got my feet measured at a running store and my feet measured a 12C and a 12.5D. I know loafers are notoriously unforgiving when you get the size wrong.
Should I be okay?
Thanks.

question about fits on dress shirts
I know you're supposed to buy shirts so they have some wiggle room in the neck. When it comes to dress shirts, if my neck measures 17 inches, should I be buying 17 1/2 shirts, or 17 shirts?

shirts for muscular guys
I cannot find shirts that fit my back. I bought 2 XL Bonobos shirts from the thrift shop and my upper back is way too tight in them. They're even standard fit, not slim.
Any clothes makers that fit muscular guys better?

Pants for guys with a long torse and (comparatively) short legs; or high front rise???
Hello everyone,
So I'm 6'1" (183 CM) and wear a 32" inseam on my pants. I have relatively wide shoulders from lifting. I've reached the point where I'm buying XL shirts just for the length, since everything else exposes my stomach when I lift my arms. Any suggestions for pants with a slightly higher rise? I am already eyeballing a pair of Unbranded selvedge denim jeans specifically for their higher front rise (and because I'm a denim geek). However, I am in bad need of some other pants, like Chinos.
