First post; I'm a noob looking to upgrade from cheap-o suits.
My problem is: I'm a 42" chest and 32" waist. Where can I find quality suit separates? Or suits with a high drop? All the suits I've tried have a 6" or 8" drop, which just won't work.
I'm aiming for $500 - $800 for a good value on good construction, but outlets don't have anything that fit me. Custom would be great, but I'm wary of online custom for my first (and only for a while) quality suit, and probably can't afford it otherwise. Mass-market stores carry separates, but seem to be low quality construction.
For fit, I'm looking for a slim fit that works with a big chest and flat belly. I'll post pics if it helps. Of the jackets I tried on, Armani's David cut seemed to work best. Even some slim cuts look boxy on me. The extra-slims I've tried (Calvin Klein, Express; I was getting desperate) make an "X" on the chest when buttoned. :/
SuitSupply has a few options, but there must be more in the world.
I'd appreciate any help!
