I am 5'11" and a 34" waist, and the beauty of being this size is that it is so average. This is total off the peg middle of the road sizing, you never need to consider whether a shop is suitable as you are bang on the "medium" sizing of almost every clothes manufacturer 
You do have a fairly standard build though - you can have a 34" waist and a 38" chest, or a 34" waist and a 48" chest!I am 5'11" and a 34" waist, and the beauty of being this size is that it is so average.

39 Years Young, 6ft 1, 12 stone, 34 waist & 35-36 inside leg - Next jeans (long) are resonably priced and fit well for us with longer legs.
Pair of Next Jeans and a long sleeve T-shirt from Gap to bum around in - and yes 9 stone is a "manlet"
And there is nothing wrong with wearing women's clothing for the right money or prizes or the obligitory Cricket or Rugby Team do - so i've been told!

I just measured myself as i have a tape measure at my desk by chance (doing house plans yo) and i am a 39-40" chest even with my boobs.
OP sounded a very similar size from his post hence the confusion as to the difficulty.
I've got a more manly chest than you though, 44"
The problem is not finding clothes that can fit; it's finding clothes that fit but which don't look too tight/young/queer or too baggy and grandad-like.

If they are too tight or too baggy they don't "fit".
Plenty of options to avoid manlet clothing here in the US, my problem is the opposite that they are often too baggy and so I need to order 'extra slim' shirts and such like, or tailored as they are otherwise known
+1 for Levis, can't go wrong with a pair of 527s!
Also probably just need to spend more money on clothes, A&F/Hollister, DKNY, CK, Diesel are brands which I find tend to fit 'normal' people better.

Diesel were the only brand I could find that fit me when I last went shopping in stores.
Got a pair of 32/30 diesel jeans, then everything else I tried on was 34/30 and I couldn't even get them on.
Thats why i like america 99.99% of people dont give a toss about fashion. Jeans or cargo shorts and tshirt or hoody. Carhart or northern face jacket when its cold.
Every shop sells the same stuff. Nike, levis, under armor, north face, carhart.
