Where to find a blue suit similar to this?

Below is a picture of some Korean fashion suit off eBay. I like the color and texture. Anyway, the suit in question only came in sizes smaller than mine and had that damned really short jacket many "designer" jackets have these days. I'm thinking of getting something a bit more trendy as I have several classic suits already and as I work in the creative industry I can wear pretty much whatever I please so conservative business dress is no concern.

Where else would I find a slim cut suit with a similar looking fabric but in size 40 and with more classic jacket length? Peak lapels a plus and 3 piece suit even bigger plus. Also note that I'm in Europe so can't just pop into a store so would most likely have to order off a webstore or eBay.

Looks like Air Force blue, something I haven't seen off the rack.

I was looking for a blue suit in a similar color but ended up settling on plain navy :(. One day I hope to snag one.

Didn't know it would be that hard to find. The Calvin Clein suit is not bad but probably not worth it at that price, not to mention no sizes available. For me it's a bit trickier as I'm a 40R except I have ridiculously long arms and need about 26.5-27 inch sleeves.

I'm guessing I should look for a sharkskin or mohair suit in the right shade then? Has that bit of sheen to it but not too much.
