I can't afford a custom made suit so I feel like I am wearing a straight jacket.

The key BEFORE YOU BEGIN buying a suit is to understand what type of body style a designer or label makes their clothes for.
Most, if not all European and Italian style suits are slim cut and hug the body so unless you are Eurotrash, a swimmer, or a tall thin gay dude, they won't be for you.
Someone earlier posted they had a Calvin Klein suit jacket and I also buy them as I have a barrel chest and broad shoulders so many jackets are very tight across the chest. Many times I need to buy a bigger jacket and have the sleeves hemmed a good 3 inches.
Mens Warehouse sells a great variety of suits designed to fit a modern American male.
