I have either the good fortune or misfortune (take your pick) of being one of the "end sizes" in the clothing spectrum ever since I was in HS at the end of WWII. Later when I graduated from OCS,I will never forget the look on the uniform shop owner's face when he took my measurements: neck 14", sleeves 38". He had a contract to supply a full set of officer's uniforms at a fixed price. After the other measurements were taken, he just sighed, "no profit on this one". As a result I have often had to go the custom route to get clothes acceptable for my work. I owned just one suite in graduate school, which I had to wear as a teaching assistant. I found that British "duo-therm" underwear made it wearable in an Iowa winter! Yet I have found out that quality is usually the "cheapest". It lasts longer. My Scots mother drummed that into my head since I reached 6' and only weighed about 100lbs at the time. It also taught me to go conservative in fashion so it didn't have to be changed for that reason. I agree it would be nice of my tartan were available from SK, but then one cannot choose one's ancestors, can we? I guess what I am trying to say to all of this is that you get what you pay for, and to be content with what you have been dealt.
