Then go shopping at your local thrift store.
Button up shirts, shorts and nice belt.

Tip for newbies: be careful who you take advice from - established members can make hundreds - or thousands - of posts without owning a doll. Which means they have no practical experience in doll care.

Re: What clothes do get them?
One positive note is that for men's clothes the sizes run very similar. A medium is a medium all the way, no question.
As for female sizes, that is all over the board. My biggest shock a while back when getting clothes for my female dolls was the fact that women's sizes sometime are just a number that does not relate to the actual size. Especially between various manufacturers.
Pick what you like and/or what balances with what you got for the ladies.
Cheers!

Re: What clothes do get them?
Women's sizing is horrid! I am slowly finding some great things. My husband has found some too. We will check out thrift for sure. Thank you so much! LOVE Goodwill.Wheezer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 2:13 am Not sure what you like in a guys clothes, but the idea of thrift store or Goodwill shopping is a winner. Dolls tend to have odd sizes and it takes a while to figure what fits right. At least with our local Goodwill you have a five day no problem return window, so you can test and check sizes without risk.

Re: What clothes do get them?
Secret trick for Goodwill is that (generally) what is in the store and on the racks is what comes from local donations. Each will have a different flavor. So it is wise to check out ALL the local stores.trick-teaching3226 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:28 pm Women's sizing is horrid! I am slowly finding some great things. My husband has found some too.

In my case there is one store that has lightly used, young and edgy things that work for my dolls for size and style. That's what the local folks donate.
Another has stuff only for grannies and the very elderly, since the get their donations from local old folks homes, deceased folks and and a much older surrounding population.
Another one has virtually nothing, since it is all quickly gobbled up by the nearby college kids.
So ... search and you will find the right one eventually.

Re: What clothes do get them?
Thanks for the reminder. I have kinda forgotten. We have 2 in town. 1 is almost uppity, higher prices, clean, better stuff, dressier stuff, larger selection. Other much older, not as clean, more eclectic, different items, lower prices.Wheezer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:52 pmSecret trick for Goodwill is that (generally) what is in the store and on the racks is what comes from local donations.
