Getting married - need help finding somewhere to get a suit

Hi everyone!  i just joined the site today, and am looking for some suggestions.  I am in the Cleveland area, and have lost about 100 lbs so far.  I still have quite a ways to go though, as I am still at about 450lbs.

I am getting married at the end of the summer, and I need to find somewhere that I can get fitted for a suit.  We are not wearing tuxedos, just a normal suit.  I haven't had a suit for years, and earlier this spring I needed one to attend a wedding.  I tried ordering one thru the mail and while technically it fit, it looked horrible.  I really need to find somewhere that I can go "in person" to be fitted for a suit and get something that looks nice.

So....any suggestions on where to try???

Thanks in advance!!!

Have you tried Casual Male XL they also have a website CasualMaleXL.BigandTall360.com     

Also try posting on the men's forum, you might get more suggestions.

Good Luck

Not sure where to go...However congrats on your up coming wedding and loosing 100 lbs. Welcome to OH!

Congratulations!!!  I too am getting married this summer and let me tell you- You probably have it easier ordering a suit than I had ordering a dress!  But I would suggest going to a local suit store not sure what they have in that area, but similar to a Blakes, casual male, Macy's, Lord and Taylor, etc.   If its not perfect just buying off the shelf, you can go to a tailor in town and they will make it fit you- there is no one in the world that fits perfectly into a suit off the rack- everyone needs to have clothes made for them in order for them to look JUST RIGHT.  Congratulations and good luck!   

What about going to a seamstress and having one tailor made??
Can't be that much more that buying it. i know i had to have my wedding dress made because i am too big for the dress shop.
just an idea.:)

they have a big and tall section and in store tailors

I know a lot of places have big and tall sections, but would a place like that have outfits for really big guys like me (450 lbs)?

I guess I'd have to call and inquire.

Thanks for the lead....

You might call Price Brothers in Dayton.  They have a big and tall section.  I plan to take hubby to get a suit there he needs a 54 long, I think and you can't find those in the stores either.  Good luck!  Otherwise, a good men's shop should be able to order what you need and tailor to fit.

Ok, I contacted them and unfortunately the largest size they carry in the Cleveland area is a 60.  Sadly, that won't do it.

Any other suggestions on places to check????

Sorry -- I live way down South so I have no idea about the stores in your area.  However I got to ask how long before the wedding ? And what kind of surgery did you have and when ?

Sorry -- don't want to sound nosy but depending on how long ago your surgery was and which one you had  -- you might drop a lot of weight and several sizes before Labor Day !!   You might be worrying for nothing !!

Good luck
