Where have you found clothes that fit well? Anyone resort to the kids departments? I've found a few places but I want to heard from you guys first.
I feel your pain. 5' 10" and 138 lbs. In terms of cycling clothes...for jersey's I look for a European fit, smalls in any other style are just way too 'baggy'

Regarding my 'civilian' clothes: I own 8 pairs of jeans...all of which are too big on me. I've always balked at guys spending $200 for a pair of tailored jeans...only to realize I've spent well over twice that much on mid-priced jeans that I never wear. Go with tailored clothes.

Ok, that's all I'll contribute to this metrosexual thread
