I never knew bodybuilding could get so expensive. I went to two local men's stores looking to get a new sport jacket and neither one of them could really fit me. They ended up putting me into a 48 just to accomodate my chest/shoulders but would have to take in the waist a ton which both tailors said was impossible. Both recommended I go get a custom one made which is going to cost double the price.

I know I am bigger than the average guy but I figured they could still fit me into an off the shelf jacket and just relieve some stress in the arms. My arms are only 17" inches which is nothing compared to alot of guys on the boards. Turns out I need something along the lines of 48 athletic cut in order to fit my shoulders and arms. I guess the athletic cuts are broader up top and narrow in around the waist. Problem is no one really stocks them.

Where do you guys go to get your professional attire? I am thinking about trying a Big and Tall shop but even there I am probally considered small.
