Options for 38L suits

Hi all. I’m in the market for a new suit and looking to upgrade to something nicer than the department store one I purchased many years ago. However, I have a dilemma. I am very tall and skinny, and the only size that fits me is a 38L, and even then I need to purchase a slim fit. This basically crosses off a majority of the off the rack options as well as eBay. The most I’m willing to spend is about a grand or so, and I have been to Suit Supply recent and was very impressed with their Lazio suits, specifically their S150, however I’m wondering if there is a better deal out there or if I should look into one of the mtm shops like Oliver Wicks or Indochino. Those seems to be hit or miss though and I’ve never seen them in person so I’m hesitant.
I also see a 38L PRL blue label one that looks decent as well, but it’s 1k and doesn’t look quite as nice at first glance as the Suit Supply s150.

Any advice on places to look or a deal I can snag one is appreciated!

There's also Spier & Mackay in size 38L, but you wouldn't find a better quality to price than Suitsupply anywhere. At least at a retail price. You can also get suitsupply suits cheaper than retail, but the selection of 38L will be quite limited

If you want something greater than Suit Supply that also have 38/48L is Isaia
Capri is their regular that measure 72cm back length for their jackets (size 38/IT48) but their Gregorio suits is their 38/IT48L with a measurement of 76cm for the back length and all of their suits are in general slim fit, drop 8
Also Spier & Mackay in size 38L is an cheaper option, all depends on whats your budget and from where you want to buy it

Avoid IndoChino. It is junk. I own a few Isaias in older models. Excellent quality and at a price point much high than SS.
