Tailoring w broad shoulders
Hi all - I need to pick up a suit and ideally a sport coat as well. In the pat I’ve struggled because I have very broad shoulders and back, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for who makes tailoring that is particularly forgiving in that area? I’m probably going to end up sizing up and taking to a tailor, but the better the fit is OTR the better I think it will go.
My best bet so far is Ring Jacket, who seem to like an “extended shoulder” that is mostly a normal shoulder on me, but works great. Unfortunately the one jacket I have from them is preposterously slim in the body and can’t be loosened there.
Thanks for the help!

If you’re looking into ring jacket I’d go for the armoury versions which have a more “western body” fit
Model 3 has slightly extended shoulders and some chest drape
I also bit the bullet and am trying a suit from besnard
Extended shoulders and generous chest here as well. I probably need to take the waist in a good few inches though
I’m actually trying to head there tomorrow! Heard great things, only downside is a little pricey. That’s a great jacket
Great! Curious to see how you like it. Definitely pricey compared to, say, suitsupply but the styling is so much better to me. Especially for a RTW suit
got a great fit in the model 15 which has like 2 extra CM in shoulder vs. model 3
unfortuantley they don't carry nearly as many of it, there's like 3 sport coats online and they had 1 suit
model 15 looks awesome. Haven’t tried that one on. Unfortunately it seems like MTO prices for ring jacket through the armoury are sky high
Yeah OTR at $1800 isn’t bad, $2600 starting MTO is tough to justify
