There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

How have you solved this problem?
VS.
Shirts/Pants: Shirts and even pants, may be slim fitting and under sized (so an XL would actually be a skinny short Large) or not clear what the sizing means (S,M,L,XL,XXL pants doesnt tell me what a 36x32 should wear) or tailored in a way that assumes a specific physique as its target demographic.
Personally: I only wear boots. I don't even own a pair of sneakers, although I think I might still have a pair of flipflops in storage up in the attic...
I'll readily admit I am NOT the target demographic for MOST of the Mens fashion here. I don't like and will never wear skinny jeans, nor $200 jeans, nor jeans that are brand new and yet look like you lost a fight with a chainsaw wielding barbwire fence.
I prefer to have a bit of extra length in my shirt tails so I don't have to constantly stuff my hands down my pants to retuck my shirt or risk looking like I'm blousing. I prefer short sleeve button up shirts vs. polos and clothes that will typically survive having to help move an office or whatever without requiring a tailor afterwards.
If you want to really have a head scratcher for mens fashion in general, go look across the web at the sites selling merchandise (specifically clothing) for various brands (hobbies, cars, celebrities, etc.) now try to find a short sleeve button up (ala Dickies type)work shirt instead of a Polo, Golf shirt, T-shirt or hoody. More than likely, you are going to give up in frustration and stop looking after not much time.
