I need a 44R jacket and 34x34 pants.

Thanks!
Check out a consignment shop. We have a number that popped up around here, fairly affluent suburbs make for some nice offerings.

I pick up a lot of slacks and dress shirts at one for work since I need to be business casual but still have to work on a machine or truck if a problem arises. Nothing pisses me off more than wearing a new shirt or pants to work only to get a grease/oil stain on it the first day. You don't feel so bad when the Haggar slacks and Gap button down shirt only cost $10 a pop. Plus I'm a cheap bastard to boot.

They never have any suits or coats my size but there usually are a lot of "average-sized" coats and suits.
