Ok, this is a little OT but I figured I can't be the only guy here having this issue.
I went to get fitted by my tailor. Here's the deal, I need a Jacket Size of 52 and, even though I'm a little chunkier than usual in the waist right now, my pant size is 36'ish. Making matters worse, I need a little extra room in the hips/ass and the legs, even though I don't have huge legs, can be a little tight unless you get like the size 40's or so.
Basically, the Tailor is telling me that for all the work he has to do in order to make this work, I may be better off having suits made even though he hates to send my business away. Also, the damn shirts are a pain too. 18.5" necck but then I have to get them all 'darted', increasing the cost of my shirts by 20 bucks.
Here's the thing, I cannot afford to have suits made. I'm assuming I'm not the only guy out here suffering this problem so I need Idea's. For you guys who have to wear suits every day, is there a better, more cost effective solution or am I just screwed?
