I am a young professional who is looking to upgrade my look and clientele. I am looking to purchase my first suit but need some direction please. I have a pretty unique build as I have very broad shoulders but am not fat. I was measured at the store and wear a 50 coat and 38 waist.

I am considering getting a custom suit JOE by Joseph Abboud from mens warehouse. http://www.menswearhouse.com/mens-suits/custom-suits-dress-shirts

My budget is about $500 per suit

Any recommendations?

I would go to SuitSupply and figure out if there's any models that would fit your unique build - then take it to the local tailor and get the few things altered. If they cannot match your build with any of their models, made to measure is definitely a great option.

Welcome to the forums by the way!
