Hey guys,
I've been reading stuff on this forum for quite a while but I've finally posted after having no idea how to tackle my problem....
So I'm a really small/slim guy, with shoulders that are around a 35/36 (if a 35 existed). I'm 5'6 and weigh 134lbs--I can fit a 34 for most suits, though some cuts end up with shoulder wrinkles and a really sharp shoulder. However, I have yet to find an OTR suit in 36 that fits me that's trim and short enough to my liking--even Z Zegna fits me like my dad's sack suit without alterations, and with extensive alterations it's still a "just barely working" suit. And combined with the fact that I wear a 36S, which is never even stocked in stores, there's no chance of getting anything on sale.
I've heard Boss and Burberry are both around ZZegna fit, but that doesn't really help because ZZegna is barely slim enough without alterations...As for MTM, I've tried Indochino and have had two suits made, but after many tries with measurement changes and such I've more or less given up on online MTM.
So, in conclusion, do any of you guys have any recommendations on suit brands that could possibly fit me? I live in Vancouver, BC so I don't have many options other than Harry Rosen and Holt Renfrew, and I'd like for the cost of the suit to stay sub-$1500 if possible.
Thanks for your help!
