Does your hubby/friend like shopping for clothes?

[critter crazy]

Brad (Hubby) hates shopping, unless for junk food. He will constantly whine about not having any clothes but refuses to buy any!! Too bad I hate shopping as well! LOL!!

[Randi]

... 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.

Oh LOLOLOLOL,


My dad wore a uniform for his job.

IT was dark blue pants and a gray shirt, As time went on he was given the old pants and shirts from the overall company and dressed in them way after he retired.

Otherwise, mom shopped for his underwear and socks.

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?"

WOW!!! He is a one-only miracle!! Meaning he must be the only man on earth who loves shopping,

Shawn's not much of a shopper either. When he needs clothes he just stops at the store quickly and buys a few items (without trying them on...). Same with shoes.

Same with Mike.

I voted for the second option, but my husband doesn't hate shopping entirely. He actually tries on his clothes and will sometimes go to more than one store. He will accompany me and occasionally offer helpful advice, and he loves shopping for electronics. I have seen the inside of Compusa and Radio Shack way more than I ever wanted or needed to...

Works for me, too!

"Variety?" --- What's that?

Way back - in the 70s - I bought over a dozen Sears Roebuck 'permanent press'
short sleeved shirts - not super expensive, various patterns & stripes.
There were the BEST shirts I ever bought - some lasted over 20 years!
Only shirts I ever had where the 'permanent press' was really Permanent!
And they were USA-AMERICAN Made ... most actually wore thin and some
became almost see-throughs before I'd part with 'em.
Oh for the Good ole Daze to return!

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!!

... Sears Roebuck 'permanent press' shirts...
Oh for the Good ole Daze to return!

LOL! I take it that those are the ones that don't need ironing? I always hated the material they were made off, I wanted pure cotton. However, John didn't mind, he actually liked them as much as you do, he even had a few items back from the sixties when I met him in 79! I gradually "lost" them in the wash, and when he found out, I'd got him new better ones.

There is one thing I'd like to be able to get, though... pants/jeans with lining inside for when it's getting really cold. Back in the 70ties, I did manage to get some corderoy for John lined with flannel - he wanted three pairs. LOL!

[Moesha]

You can still buy jeans and pants like that here. LLBean, Land's End and Eddie Bauer all of them on their websites.

You don't wear his size? ... Maybe they didn't last 30+ years.

The next time you visit us across the Big Pond, try L.L.Bean
http://www.LLBean.com
They have "Double L Jeans" in 'Misses' Sizes >>>
Catalog # KL35309 = Flannel-Lined for $50 (US) each pair or
Catalog # KL45860 = Fleece-Lined for $50 (US) each pair.

I'd hate to think what shipping & Custom's Duty might add to the price.

They're all "Imported" - so you're probably closer to their point of origin
than LL Bean is!
Maybe shop around on the I-net - they ought to be available "over there".

My hubby only buys himself shoes and hats, I buy the rest.

My hubby only buys himself shoes and hats, I buy the rest.

My mother-in-law still buys my husband his shoes and hats. Every Christmas Justin's mom buys him a new pair of shoes and a new hat and they last him the year. Actually he's been wearing the same pair of sneakers for 2 years because last Christmas he got a new pair of work boots.

As for clothes he's a one stop shopper. He goes to the store, gets what he needs, pays, and leaves.

Thanks for the links to LLBean. I Must say the second ones in the first row (the ones with red lining) looks rather comfy and warm, but I would dare buy any clothes online, without trying them on first. They do get good reviews though!
