    If he doesn't get clothes as gifts, he doesn't buy them. In 10 years I can not remember a single time, Stuart went shopping for clothes. When he needs work gear, I go get it for him.

    The only wearable thing he shops for is work boots. He has hard to fit feet.

    Ditto here.

    If I didn't buy Joe clothes, or he got them as gifts, or promotions from other companies ... he would literally wear the same clothes until they fell off in rags.

    Well, I am the one who voted for the first option, but I hesitated with "Other". I can not really say that Christophe loves it, but he is always ready to go to several shops and spend a lot of time comparing before buying clothes or shoes. When I am with him, I often ask if he really needs this shirt or that jacket and if he doesn't already have ALMOST the same!!!
    Even when it is for me, I am the first saying I have enough and want to go home, and he will say "and what about this other shop?"

    Alec is somewhere between the first two options. He does buy his own clothes and has a handful of shops that he goes to. He tends to wait until he needs a batch of stuff then goes and buys it all at once.

    I know you didn't ask about my dad, but you have reminded me of this story. He was not a shopper. About all he ever said in a shop was "Do you like it? Buy it." The implication being - and lets get outa here. There was one time my mum and I were both looking for a new winter coat. The first shop we went in to, two caught our eye right away, and we tried them on. Instantly came "Do you like it? Buy it." We did, and were back outside the shop in four minutes flat!

    My mum bought all of his clothes for him.

    ... and even getting him to come and try some things on is a mission in itself.
    This sounds very much like John. He would rarely go shopping for clothes, I usually saw something and either persuaded him to come and try it on, or bought it for him. When he did find some jeans/shirts/etc. he liked, he bought two or three of them, so he didn't have to do it again for a long time.

    He did enjoy to go to book shops and gadget shops, though.

    My ex, Moe, was worse than any girl I have ever met! He LOVES shopping. He's worked at Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and loves loves, loves to go shopping there. He'll try on so many different things and be so fussy. He would always yell at me cause I'd go to find what I was looking for, and that was it. I hated trying on clothes (then again, I've got body image issues, so... that explains a lot). If I didn't know better, I'd swear he's gay.. not kidding, lol!!
