There is (almost) none because its much more profitable to create clothes for Michael-3.
Ask yourself, if youd spend weeks or months on creating a clothing set, would you rather sell it five or fivehundred times ? ;-P
So unless dozends of merchants decide that they really havent any use for all that money they make from their M3 clothes, this situation isnt likely to change anytime soon.
But there are several solutions to still cloth James:
Posing and parenting. If you pose and parent M3s clothes instead of conforming them, you might be able to use them on James. Maybe a magnet or two is needed for correction.
Cloth converters. Results can vary depending on the differences between the donor and receivers body shapes, and very detailed clothing can loose some "crispness" when smoothed, but all in all a simple solution that lets you make use of M3s (and others) clothing for James. Id say PhilCs Wardobe Wizzard appears to be the most sophisticated converter out there right now.
3, Hybrids. Even if you dont like M3s body shape, clothing will cover most of it anyway, and you can use all M3 clothing without modification. The drawback is that a James/M3 hybrid needs different maps for the body and the head, so youll most likely need postwork on the neck in closeups.
Heres a link to a hybrid tutorial that doesnt involve creating a new neck in a modelling software, so you can do that entirely in Poser:

While the men generally havent anything close to the number of clothes than the woman have, there ARE already lots of male clothes out there.
So theres no real reason to not use James just because there are no clothes around specially made FOR him:
