thanks for the very quick response. As your rightly say most people can fit into a standard off the peg size, Unfortunately being a Gentleman of Substance I need a 58 or a roomy 56 inch chest jacket. Some retailers will at a pinch go up to 56 most stop at a slimeline 50" . Therefore I need to look at made to measure or bespoke options.

At the moment I can only find 4 retailers within my budget range say sub £250 for Jacket only and I am sure that they would all do a fine job. I was just asking the question as I had not come across Evelyn before and wondered whether to add her to the list of prospective tailors.
