Suits for fat blokes

Rotty · 20 Feb 2006 at 12:56

I am looking at getting a new suit for going out in ( not for work )

looking for a plain black one in a modern style ( probably to be worn with a black silk shirt and no tie )

I'm not looking at somewhere to buy one from as I already have a tailor who will make it for me but am looking for pics/design ideas

having a look around the web but not coming up with much at the moment

probably anything very slim fitting is probably not a good idea as I am 38 waist and 48 chest

Might be worth a go , my dad was Sants at Center Parcs last year

not looking for off the peg stuff , as you can say I can get that easily

what I am looking for is a quality design and then get the tailor I use to make it for me

Wont your tailor have some sort of idea of whats 'current'?

not really , he tends to do stuff for American politicians / diplomats etc ( George Bush / John Kerry etc ) so, while his quality is superb he is not at the cutting edge of fashion

In the past I have given him pics from catalogues ( Hugo Boss ) etc and then he makes then up in the same style

What watch do you want to style it around, then we can work from there.

I tend to wear a Rolex whenever I wear a suit , most of my others wouldn't fit inder the sleeve :eek:
