The RL store in La Jolla (Southern Cal) is having a sale on a bunch of stuff. I was in there and they had some RLBL suits for about $549. If you're in the area, you may want to give them a call and check for your size.
So that brings me to my predicament, which hopefully people can help with. I am 5'10", 140 lbs (skinny) but in good shape from lifting. The RLBL 36R pulls too much at the waist, and I feel like my deltoids are pressing up against the sleeve too much when buttoned for it to be a proper fit in the shoulders.
So I eyeballed a 38R in navy with a really nice, subtle stripe and just couldn't stop myself from buying it. Really what I need is a 37R, but I've never seen one. Anyway, will the tailor bill on that be so bad that I should just return it? At 549$, it was impossible to resist getting it before they are all gone. The shoulders are about 1/8" to 1/4" too wide on each side. The torso would also need to be reduced somewhat, which is typical for me in other brand's 36R. Finally, the pants would need to have the waist taken in, etc... What do you guys think?
