Hi,
After lurking for the past month, decided to finally take the plunge and harass the good forum members for some help. I've had a devil of a time finding anything that fits me, because I have such a large drop (41" chest, 30' waist - I'm 6" and 160 pounds, athletic), and pretty triangular in my upper body. The closest thing I've ever been able to find that fits was what I think is a half-canvassed McQueen 40R jacket that I picked up at consignment. Usually, I need 42R jackets, though I wonder if the issue with the 40 jackets is that they're fused (why the chest pops out?)
I've checked out the recommendations on slim-fitting suits, though wasn't sure which ones were fully canvassed. Then I found a Brioni on ebay that has mismatched pants with the following measurements:
Chest: 44" (mine is 41")
Shoulders: 19.5" (same as my McQueen jacket that fits well)
Trouser waist: 34" (length unhemmed) - my waist is 30"
I was wondering if this would likely fit me - the jacket is more important, as I'm wondering if a tailor would be able to make the likely necessary alterations (I've taken in pants from a 34 waist before without significant problems - I hope?). I'd appreciate people's input. Thanks!
