Hello All: Congratulations, you're trained and lean. Condolences, you can't find clothes that fit in our plus-sized world.
I recently shopped for shirts and found that they all fit like a tent. I'm 5'8" and 156 lbs. Yes, I'm reasonably lean but not what anyone would call skinny. My new discovery was Land's End boy's clothing; size 20. Pinpoint oxford cloth no-iron shirts for $30 and polo shirts for <$20 and they fit nicely. This is not an add for Land's End. I'm sure other companies have high quality boys clothes that will fit lean men. Might be true on the women's side too. Good luck.
Cheers,

Dude at 5'8"/156 you absolutely do not need to be wearing kids clothes. You're shopping at the wrong places.
Banana Republic is a good starting point for work/dress clothes. Their button-down shirts and polos are great quality and slim fitting. I have some custom-tailored dress shirts and I like BR's shirts better.
For jeans and pants try Bonobos, BR, Levi's slim or skinny fit...tons of options. Everyone has slim/skinny/athletic fit pants now. I actually really like American Eagle's stretch slim fit jeans - probably the most comfortable slim fit jeans I've ever worn, and not super expensive.
