I'm in the market for my first suit, and I just had my measurements taken. The results have me somewhat confused/worried:
Chest: 32"
Waist: 30"
Outseam: 42.5"
Neck: 14.5"
Sleeves: 32"
I'm about 5'11" and 140 lbs. If I'm interpreting these measurements correctly, my suit size is in most brands' XS range. I haven't actually been able to find a size chart that translates my chest/waist size into a jacket size; would it be a 32R or so?
I'm actually hoping I'm completely misinterpreting this, as I have yet to find any retailers that sell suits that size. Am I completely hosed here?
For the sake of comparison, I recently picked up the Merona Kensington jacket at Target. The Small was just slightly too large in the shoulders; I'm the only person that notices it. The waist fits really well, I doubt it could really even stand to be taken in at the sides much. Other than that, I tend to wear a Medium shirt, though I can wear Small without discomfort if I want a trimmer looking shirt.
