Depending on how broad shouldered your partner is, I'd try European or Asian orientated brands. Generally more expensive clothes tend to fit me better, which is very unfortunate.
The Bay actually has a pretty great selection these days. They have mid-range brands like "Scotch and Soda". They have some higher end brands too. I'd try something like "Tiger of Sweden" to start there. However, guessing his size/fit is going to be a real challenge. He's much better off trying each brand on and finding one that works for him.

Thanks very much for your input. And yeah I am fully expecting that we may have to return what I get him. But at least I can have a look at a few places, see which brands and styles he might like and fit well, get a good idea of where we can look. Basically do a bunch of the legwork for him and narrow things down!
