led That CT thing is made from recycled plastic bottles and seems like an affront to decency to call such man made rag as "Super 110s". That should be reserved for wool.

Tailor4less sums it up in those last four letters albeit there is a word missing 'quality'. Unless you are desperate for a double breasted suit and your world will end without one I would suggest saving your money.

Any suggestions?

Go to a bricks and mortar store and avoid anything not made from wool!

That or (presuming not much money to spend) a traveling tailor, many of whom seem inclined to make looser-fitting suits.
