Good men's freebies

A male friend of mine from RL is getting ready to give SL a whirl.

Due to various circumstances which I won't go into, he's limited on the amount he can spend - but he still wants to look presentable. His tastes are pretty middle-of-the-road - he's not goth, nor a metrosexual type - just a sort of ordinary guy.

I promised to talk to you guys about places for good quality men's clothes that were low-cost or freebies. My only suggestions along that line were Sarah's and NCI. (And yeah, I'll bully him into joining SLU and maybe posting a pic or two.)

Thanks gang.

I hope he won't mind me saying so (and I can't imagine why he would but you never know) but I noticed a few days ago that SLU member Karl Herber has a blog for men's freebies that he links in his sig. I took a look at it because I have been decking-out my cross-dressing alt lately and was interested in tracking down interesting, cheap men's clothes for her as I figure out what I want her look to me. It looks like a great resource!

ETA: totally crossed Natalie's post in the ether.

For low-cost clothes, I'd suggest checking out Truth. There's a big sale going on right now, with packs of shirts and things for as little at L$10.

It's not clothes, but I have some free eyes at my store. (I'm not a big fan of pimping my stuff, but it seems appropriate here.)

Also try the GNUbie Store; they're picky about what they include. The Free Dove is another freebie place, and I'm pretty sure it's got men's stuff, but I'm not sure if it's nice or will work for your friend. (No SLURLs for those last two, as I'm not in world at the moment.)

I think I have LMs for Gnubie and Free Dove. I can give him those.

Oh - and he did send me one pic that he had done after he went to Sarah's.
He's using the "Boy Next Door" default. I gave him the guy's freebie pack from the BDSM Forum, and the skin is from there. Shades, shirt, jeans from Sarah, he says.

One of the other writers for Men's Second Style regularly covers cheap/free stuff. On the right column there's also a newsticker with freebies. Though it doesn't get updated very often.

My Second Life on the D-list (for the occasional freebie from Venturino)
Inspired - Second Life Freebies
as well as the big and relatively well known

No problem I've been slacking in general. Promised with my last posts to write something every week again. Never got to it the last 2 weeks.

He thinks so.
The default avs are fancier now, you know. And he got most of the men's clothes from Sarah.

There really isn't any decent free male skin anywhere that I've found yet.

Nora Skins had one but the store is now closed and gone. There are a few people offering the Eloh Eliot variations but they are very feminine and young-looking. Most of the rest is just awful.

My favourites of the free mens skins is "Cody", which is available (among other places) at Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise, and "Redford" which is available at GQ Start.

One of the Nora skins is available in the men's freebie package at the BDSM Forum.

Is it the one with or without the tattoos included? If it's the without one, I'd like to include a SLURL for the location in my blog, if that's ok? (The one with the tattoos is also available at Sarah Nerds and I've reviewed it already).

I've made notes of some of the other places suggested in this thread so if no-one has any objections I'll be reviewing those in the near future too.
