The search: Men's mesh clothes, that have demos, and are made for someone besides a skinny, shoulderless emo kid.

Why is this so hard to find?

Seems like all the mesh I can find is either ultra low, ultra skinny jeans that would be better for my girlfriend, or shirts with these oddly sloped shoulders that make my head look giant unless I wear the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man size, which then just looks ridiculous.

I am not sure if you think this is a shoulderless emo kid-look. For me, this is pure masculine. Personally, I think more men should go for athletic instead of bodybuilder looks.

And they have a demo: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Casual-Blazer-BlackWhite-MUSCHI/4560686

Fatewear too: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FATEwear-Suit-Edward-AB-FATEpack-5-colours/4468467

Fatewear has casual clothes too, understated but with high quality. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FATEwear-Shirt-Henry-Void/4655010 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FATEwear-Shirt-Ford-Ocean/4570542 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FATEwear-Coat-Lando-Ocean/4520506

To clarify, I don't have a bodybuilder look, and my muscle slider isn't higher than 75. The sleeves and waists generally fit fine.

 

The problem with most of the mesh I try is that the shoulders are as thin, or thinner, than the bottom of the shirt. If there are shoulders at all. Sometimes they're there, but they're so sloped, it's just arms coming out of a coned torso. It makes me look like a bobblehead doll.

 

I'll try some of those demos and see.

Here, let me show you what I mean.

No mesh:

Mesh that fits:

Mesh with funky shoulders:

And here's without the alpha, so you can see what's going on.

The problem is, the bulk of the mesh I try is like that second option. It just looks weird. Sometimes it's even worse than that. At least that has rounded shoulders. One I tried had straight angles down from the collar to the arms, no shoulder at all.

Mesh has made mens cloths i SL come a long way fast. For males it is for sure the way to go. No more painted looks for you. 

As a designer it is still more difficult and more expensive to find build kits for the mens items than it is for the females. I don't make mesh myself so I'm at the mercy of the mesh makers for their styles and prices. My partner is also looking for some nice mesh outfits for himself so i've been on the look out for the build supplies for it. If i found them i would make some styles available for sale but so far I am finding the male stuff is at higher costs. Maybe if they were more readily available and affordable more designers would be supplying. 

Hint hint nudge nudge to mesh makers for full perm kits.
