suit for my Big (politically correct for fat) short brother

[mjHession]

My brother needs a suit for my wedding.

Okay, I posted a WTB, but honestly doubt i'll get anything here, I'm just not really sure what to do. My brother is 12 years old so still only about 5 foot tall. His chest measures 42 in, and waist is about 45 in. I think he could wear smaller trousers maybe 42 in, he said he wears 42in jeans, and he does wear then around his waist, not below. But i think the coat will need to have a 45 waist or it will pull on the button.

Anyway I don't know exactly what to do, aka wear to get something that will fit him. I don't want to spend too much.

Also another WTB i posted was for a shirt for my dad, he is a 16.5 collar with a 38 sleeve, I checked BB and JaB neither carry that size RTW, other then department stores anyone know any place to get that size shirt.


Thanks

hi, you might want to try a store called Syms for both, depending on where you are located. They have a size called, short, portly, or portly short. they also have a huge selection of shirts, though, 38 sleeve is gonna be very difficult unless you go to a big/tall shop or go bespoke. good luck, where are you located?

Lands' End custom will do that size for your dad, and they're not too expensive - about $50.

How long away is the wedding? Buy your brother a 38/32 and get him on the treadmill.
