Suit for unusual measurements
I have very unusual measurements (shoulders on the large side of 54, waist ~50ish), so it's hard to find a suit off the rack. Even if pants/jacket are sold separately, the jacket is usually too wide around my waist. Should I keep looking for something RTW where it just works out (I'm looking for something relaxed, more on the casual side, so it doesn't need to be super tailored)? Or should I consider something MTM (suit supply?) – I'm hearing mixed things if MTM is actually beneficial in my situation.
There aren't any bespoke options in my city and going to Italy a couple of times seems excessive for my first "nice" suit (I had some, but this is supposed to be one that I like). I guess I should first learn what works for me and what doesn't before I splurge on something custom.
MTM or just invest time into finding nice RTW?
