Popped a couple of top buttons around the collar of shirts as the neck has increased, and done a back seam on a couple of trousers as well :(

Countless shirt buttons in the gut area. Those flimsy clasps on dress pants. Sport and suit jacket buttons. Over coat buttons. I even managed to blow out the seams of the zipper on a wind breaker! LOL! That's all part of getting fat, fatter and even fatter.

I am still looking for a good tailor --I have destroyed many pairs of pants. I am doing better with the fat man pants with side expansion panels --this allows my pants to fit sitting down without falling to the ground when I stand up!
Shirts --I lose the buttons in the belly area mostly from bumping and rubbing into things because my belly protrudes so far out from my body. Lately I have switched to microfiber shirts because they have some stretch to them. When I pig out it really makes me look fat, though, because the fabric is straining so hard against the buttons! I have to undo them at buffets, especially when I get in the car afterwards.

i myself haven't ruined a single article of clothing on acount of old Bruce (refering to my beer belly, which isn't really a beer belly as beer had virtually nothing to do with my gut, so the name's something my girlfriend came up with for lack of something better to call it).
i gained my weight real slow, so it was never really an issue...
