No, but you can get a very good fit with good tailoring. Yeah, you also need a "guy." My guy is an old Jewish fella named Morrie who looks after me very well. He's about 80 years old so he's seen fashion trends come and go. He knows what's classic and what's a fad. Find a men's store which has been in business for about 50 years. Talk with a few of the older guys who walk around with tape hanging around their necks. When it comes time for alterations, try to remember some of the advice on proportion.

Once you're real confident you can start shopping at Saks' off 5th outlets stores. Can't resist those 1/2 price Armani suits
