There are some very nice shops along my street: Avenida Metropolitana--but up scale.
Many, many men and women keep tailors busy., Especially for a guy like grande tailoring is the way to go. They are inexpensive and do good work. No Dominican male of a certain standard would think of buying a suit or dress pants "off the rack"...
Conversely, I do not have to buy my jeans or khakis, thank God! That said, if i were to go and buy them, I go to RETAL, which is located on Avenida Imbert in the Gurabito section of lower Santiago. They sell overages from many of the free zone factories and nobody can beat the quality or the prices...Shirts, jeans, tops for women and girls, skirts, etc...
The good thing about being the old man is that I get presents of clothes all the time. I haven't bought a pair of shoes in years....
As for basics like socks and underware, they are all purchased in the US....and muled down here by family....
Note to self: Get those visuals of MG at a jean shop trying on teeny bopper jeans and STOP with the bra shop visuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!! Oh my!!
Addenda: Wipe those images of CCCCCCCCCCCCC at the Fat Man's Store off the hard drive. (But congrats on going from a 56 to a 42!!!) You can still shop at a Big and Tall!!!
