Never-owned-a-suit question: if I’m a 31” waist and 43” chest does that mean I have to stick with separates? Seems like I’d need a 50/52 jacket, but the matching trousers are way too big in the waist.

With that kind of drop, it's unlikely that even separates could fit harmoniously. Probably need MTM to address the shaping needed in the jacket

Anyone around here old enough to remember the Monitaly shorts made out of deadstock tent material? They have taken on the coolest hand over time, almost like a slubby linen
