For me, it's probably winter weight trousers. Some runners up: a navy blazer, comfortable shoes, outerwear, and Phineas Cole on sale.

Most of my troubles stem from this forum. I have developed a better sense of the feature set I want in an item, and the exact item isn't all that likely to show up at a discount.

You?

I think it's a combination of weird/skinny.

5'11", 135-140ish, 15.5" neck.

Shirts, I'm like 5'8" and pretty skinny. 14.5's still fit like tents most of the time.

At 5'6" Most pants and trousers have a rise that's too high. With how great MTM can be done it's tough to even want to bother OTR.

Likewise.

Hardest thing I have finding RTW: any garment more than 60% off.

Basic, plain suits. As in a grey or navy worsted.
