Suit Sizing Help Needed
Hi, I'm about to order a suit online and I'm struggling with some size related issues. When I take a measurement with a tape measure I get a chest size of a little over 46". I'm 5'7" 200 pounds, good amount of muscle but a good amount of fat too.
Now according to that measurement I should look for a size 46 jacket. However, the blazer I have (which is far too wide in the shoulder) says it's a 42 regular. Other than the shoulders I think the blazer I have fits alright. But I'm really struggling with the tape measure saying 46 and the existing jacket saying 42.
How can I tell which size to order? Another issue is that suit is at a final sale price and non-refundable so I don't want to get a size that's just too small, or far too large to tailor it.
