Fashion Challenge - Men on a Low-L$ Budget

If all else fails, nothing says tough like playin’ in the buff

Okay, okay, guys. I finally understand your lament.
After playing about an hour as a male searching for good, cheap clothing… THERE ISN’T ANY. We’re working on a basically free budget here, since men’s clothing is either $1L or $200L a pop. Take your pick. I even went to Wrong since they advertised men’s clothing and… guess what? No men’s clothing! The designer could not be reached for comment. Go figure.
The best place I found to get things at was the Freedove. That was my fallback place of choice when I was a newbie and only $5L in my pocket. I scoured the Gnubie shop - same old stuff. I got my skin there, but I’d never tried those types of skins before… I was horrified when I put it on. It looks like someone took a picture of a black man’s face and blended it together with the smudge tool in photoshop into some semblance of an African Facial Quilt.
I’m sorry, but can’t we do better with the free men’s skins?
Nylon? Toast? I know you guys have some hiding in the back of your inventory you can donate to Gnubie… come on. Guys should be able to do better than this patchwork thing I’m wearing. Oh, did I mention it comes with built in undies? Yay! Now my prim dick can just poke out of my boxers while I’m fucking some little whore at the Boardwalk as if I don’t really mean it. (sigh.)
Boots: Afantasy (Freedove) These boots are really quite well made and remind me of my own personal Old Boots from Shiny Things.
Next up, we have:
The outfit’s a little feminine looking, but if you’re masculine enough you can pull it off. Jana’s Classic Designs (Freedove)
Same, from Jana’s Classic Designs. I’m starting to become fond of her stuff; it really isn’t bad at all! Nice and clean looking.
Also, found these prim shoes from Hansen.
They’re well made but include bling, so beware!!
Of course, should any of those other options fail, you could wander around like many newbie SL men do - naked. Nothing says tough like playin’ in the buff, right?
So why the lack of men’s clothing?
“Most designers don’t spend a lot of time making big lines of mens’ wear, and one can’t really blame them because it seems that men in SL spend less on clothing and change less often. Many are content to just wear jeans and a t-shirt for weeks on end.” Jonathan Sprawl says, giving me a pretty good insight into the desert of men’s clothing… however, it still just doesn’t explain it for me.
Barnesworth wasn’t much help on the matter either:
Tenshi Vielle: I’m doing my article for the Herald on freebie hunting for men, and … it all sucks. Honest to god.
Barnesworth Anubis: torrid has some nice shirts for men.
And that was all I got out of him. He must be building or something.
I’m sick of this crap. I’m off to work on some good men’s freebies. I don’t care about profit. The men in SL have some kind of desperation going on, and it isn’t good.
