Big men & double breasted suits

[Not-Bogart13]

I'm 6' - 6" tall and weigh 360 pounds. I wear a size 60 extra long. I have several double breasted suits, and so far no one has told me that I look bad in them.

There's two reasons for that:
1.) I have seen the pictures and they look fine on you.
2.) No one argues with a Big Man with a big gun.

At 5-11 and not sure what I weigh (265?) I wear a 50 regular and 42 inch waist. My two main suits are double breasted and I tend to get complements when wearing them. Although I can sit with the jacket button in one of them I habitually unbutton when seated for longer periods of time.

I was told- if you are buying a suit off the rack, you have to try it on and look carefully front back sides. Plus, if you go looking for a suit you should wear a dress shirt, tie and your dress shoes so when trying on suits you can get a better, clearer picture of how it will look as a total package.

Exactly. This is especially true when they are altering the suit for you. The shoes you wear allow correct cuffing height of the pants. It also allows a better fit for the jacket with the shirt and tie in place.
