[pholy 0]

my wife lives in a bog near soc trang...it's a small city south vietnam. she wants to mail me clothes because i told her some of my jeans are ripped and i havent buy clothes in well over three years. yea that's how i am guys. she said she will mail me some clothes but i told her not to mail me knockoffs because they are #######. i know of a place called blue exchange which sells pretty quality clothes. my question is...any other places to buy clothes around soc trang or can tho that arent knockoffs? last time i was there i bought a nice pair of puma for $400k.

most of clothes made in vietnam are junks(viet tien shirts are ok), they wont last more than a few weeks . am a bluecollar guy and normally i will go for carhartt & dickies stuff , em clothings are build like tanks, last for years . if you are a whitecollar guy have your wife look for some good quality cloth , then look for a good tailor who special in making tuxedo .then have him made you a few fairs . i still got 2 pair of tuxedo ( paid 50 dollars each , one of them made from silk).if she gonna go through the trouble of mailing you cloth have her mail those. blue exchange are junks too lol

Or just pay a visit to Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less or Burlington Coat Factory stores here in the US. The price is low, the quality is good because they're real brand names and the style doesn't look effeminate like most VN clothes. Like for like clothing is much cheaper in the US. Clothing being sent from Soc Trang to the US would be a first lol.

You can find decent clothes at Co-Op Mart, but pants above a 34 waist are a hard find. There's at least one Co-Op Mart in Can Tho.

It''s nice of her to think of you, but there are better deals to be had in the US.

Personally, I'll take something that is made in Vietnam over something that is made in China. I've managed to find a lot of clothes that aren't "effeminate" or "junk".

is it some issue with being frugal? suggest you find the charity resale shops in your area, in the USA, buy some branded used jeans, soonish.

If he's anything like me then he just hates to shop for clothes. I'd rather have a colonoscopy or root canal than to go clothes shopping. Everyone in my family knows about my hatred for shopping. Most of the clothes I wear were xmas or birthday gifts.

ah - the cool thing about a charity resale shop in the USA -

usually, they have a TOOL section, as well, so can go there for tools.

a good score is some made in USA table saw, circa 1985.

I've bought clothes in Vietnam that are still going strong a fill five years later. Ya just gotta know what you are buying.

Now one cool thing about Vietnam is the ability to have shirts or pants tailored for you. I have some silk shirts that my friends and family are really impressed with. They are just perfect for me because they were tailored for me.

Can't wait to go this Fall and have an entire suit made for me. Maybe two or three.

It could be just me but I get the impression that the OP may not be looking for suits, tuxedos or silk shirts. He literally wears the pants off his jeans.

It's definitely just you.

Is it just me or is it difficult to buy underwear that can fit an average USC Male in VN?
