How about trying to make your own, just adjust the pattern from the shirt you bought so it would fit him :)
I would try ebay. I have found all kinds of clothes on there for my lil guy. You can even ask the people who custom make the clothes, to make something to fit your baby. Good Luck
small clothes

I used ebay and bought xxs when he was 1 1/2 lbs. They fit him perfect.
When Lina was a puppy (well, smaller anyway lol) she was way too small for the clothes I was trying to find for her. So I made a sweater for her out of a funky lookin' sock lol. She hated it, but, it kept her warm outside going from the house to the car.
You can cut the "foot" off of a sock and cut out a couple arm holes and voila! Instant tank-top! I did that for both of mine when they were that small.

Also, teddy bear sweaters at craft stores work, too!
When Corky was 1.5-2lbs he wore two XXS tshirts I got him on Ebay. He is in between sizes now, a XXS is getting too small and an XS is a bit big! Definitly try ebay! :p
Ebay is a great place to start off looking. They have just about EVERYTHING! Another great site to try is www.pamperedpuppy.net They have tons of things to buy on their site as well as a directory to other dog clothing sites! :D Good luck!

Almost forgot another great place is a craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's they sell these little sweaters for bears, they tend to fit chis great! They are also only like 3 or 4 bucks! :D

I have the same problem getting clothes for Josie and I would have never thought to try that. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion! My problem is that when I can find outfits that have a good chance of fitting her, I can't afford them. :( Being a college student sure doesn't leave much in your wallet!
Ebay is definitely the place to get clothes :D

Try ferret clothes! You should be able to find plenty online, and they run quite a bit smaller!

ferret clothes were 2 small LOL.i ended up buying a pair of xtra stretchy socks that are xtra fuzzy/fluffy n i cut a hole for the neck n arms.bcause of the stretchiness it fits him perfect.:D
That's A Great Idea :) Im also having this problem, my lil boy is tiny, he's only 15.3 ounces lol. Will do some sock hunting now and get the scissors out haha... x
