Same here. I have seriously problems with finding suits. I'm pretty broad shouldered, so I have to wear either a 44 or 46 jacket (depending upon who makes the suit) or I can't move my arms. I don't really have a gut though, so the jacket needs to be taken in alot in the middle and the pants are just ridiculous (I think they give you a 38 waist with a 44 and a 40 waist with the 46).
I've basically started buying only Joseph Aboud suits and shirts. The cut is much looser up top.
I do have a gut, and even though I too am broad shouldered, I still often find the pants loose.
You can buy athletic cut (8 inch differnce between pants and jacket rather than 6 inch) but the selection of those suits is very limited.
