Where do you guys buy jackets that fit?
« on: November 27, 2007, 11:16:35 AM »
Hey everyone I'm new one here but have been weight training for about 9 years. I am 6'1" 235lbs. Chest is probably 46-47", 36" waist. I have trouble buying jackets that fit me properly. Suit and sport jackets usually are too tight in my arms and shoulders. I can't lift my arm forward or they will tear. I have to buy them extra big, which makes me look fat. I then have to have them tailored to get a better fit. The problem I have now is finding a new leather jacket. Everything seams to be made for thin or overweight guys. I don't think leather can be easily altered. If I get a size that fits my chest and arms, it is way too big in the stomach area. I'm not THAT big, so I can't be the only one having this problem. Any suggestions?

Hey try this.... lose weight, then maybe you can fit your fatass into a jacket. You aren't huge or swole. You aren't big. If anything you look like an idiot.

Welcome to getbig bro here are essential pointers to prolonge your stay and not to become one of the fags that jump ship and post at MD.

1) If you make claims (including any weight you pushed over 200lbs) >>> Post a picture
2) If you claim to be a certain size bigger than the average Joe and most posting at getbig >>> Post a picture.
3) Do not take your reflection with a cheap camera, we have enough of these images around.
4) Be prepared for a shit storm when you're images are online, Squatfather and Leafy will rip you to shreds if you are not in prime contest condition and look like you could walk on stage and take the Sandow.

Good luck.

Oh and try a cloth store, last time I checked they do now Jackets for everybody and are not tailor made anymore, welcome to this century.

I have never even heard Ronnie Coleman comply about not finding a fitting jacket, i guess 'Don Mullet' is bigger than the Hulk.

46" chest, 36" waist?  Cry me a freakin' river.  Men's Wearhouse can do that.  It's only a 10" drop, suits are built with a 6" drop.

I am not that big and have a 20" drop and can can easily have suits altered to fit, so I don't think you have any real problem.

Nice cry for attention, though.

Fuck the clothes, a Jeans will do.

Actually there's plenty of that.

Some are on the nutrition board and read "I'm slightly overweight (260lb, estimate 25%bf ::) ::)) and have never worked out in my life. Is Hydroxicut Hardcore a good fatburner?"

 ;D ;D
