68S - the absolute and definitive thread to end all threads.

But have you ever thought about what's it's like being 68S? Humpty Dumpty ain't got **** on guys like us. We're wider than we are tall. At 5'7", 460 pounds, finding anything "proportionate" is a nightmare. Pockets in odd places, lapels that are outrageously thin - a debacle on top of a debacle. Utter fail.

I found one black suit - fused - at CASUAL MALE in rural Wisconsin - and I must wear it everywhere. It's so dark that the pocket placement is barely discernable anyway. But it's beginning to fray, and I need something more.

I flew to Italy. Met with the dashing father and son combo that is Rubinacci - I thought to myself, "Hell, they made Foof look presentable in his 4'6" glory - couldn't they do the same for me?" Nay, they said that their seamstresses would revolt if they had to pattern-match the Glen Urquhart Check Scabal Super 120s I selected (this is to say nothing of the fact that they would have had to charge me double because of the extra length of cloth required for the DB I planned-out). They pointed me to a nice Holland & Sherry with a soft hand - their "Funeral Black" - and said that it would suit my frame best. I sulked and departed...defeated.

Help? Anyone? Are there no 68S's out there who can help a brother out?

Respectfully,
Bull

One of the nice things about weighing 460 pounds is that, when you heave into view, no one is ever going to notice the odd pocket placement on your jacket.

BTW, I don't think "slender and handsome," when I read about people searching for a size 36. I think "scrawny and short."

I can't tell if you are trolling or actually asking for help. Well done.

This forum leans towards being for people who like to appear pleasing. Being massively fat is not a good look, in my opinion.
Perhaps rethink your priorities in order to achieve such

Look at the plus side - you can see cleavage whenever you want.

Oh relax, bitches, it's just some tongue-in-cheek fun. Look at all the poor guys who believed that I actually wear this mythical size. Mission accomplished. Just a little fun. No harm, no foul.
