Admittedly it's been easier for me the past 10-12 years during the slim fit era, but I can tell its fading out. Need more stores for us short kings (and XL kings). Not everybody is 5'10"-6'0" and between 180-200lbs! [emoji24]

I'm just glad that tiny suit jacket with criminally tight and short pants fad seems to have run its course. Dudes looked so bloody stupid wearing those suits.
Albeit I've strayed away from suits over the last few years, I've always gone with the James Bond style rules. The most stylish and classy guy I have ever known lives by and introduced me to them. You always have a classic fit, it will almost never go out of style, and most tailors will know exactly what you mean when you ask for a James Bond cut.
Albeit these rules were much easier to stay within when I was closer to 200 pounds instead of my current 240 girth, it's a great way to keep things simple, and get a ton of life out of a suit without it looking ridiculous in 4 or 5 years.
