Some details:
- I'm in Ottawa, and so the Spier and Mackay / Suit Supply options are a bit out of reach. I'm certainly willing to take the drive down / give mail order a shot if this is the best bet. I've also heard some recommendations for an elusive "Jimmy the Suit Guy".
- I've always struggled with fit from local stores like The Bay, although I have yet to try getting a suit tailored. I tend to have trouble with off-the-rack stuff because I'm fairly short (5'8) / slim, except for a slight waist that causes shirts to feel tight when I sit down.
- Budget is around $500.
- Chest / Waist measurements are 38/35.
