DAVE -- Fair enough... for now...

GIO -- Yep... gotta go shopping. I've held off a great deal - buying very few things in the last two years as I lost 59 pounds. As a result I have like 1 pair of pants that fit well, and 2 that are 'close enough to not be comical'. The biggie is that it's time for me to replace my suits and sport coats -- lotsa bucks there to get what I want... so this will go in phases... I believe I'm in 34W x 34L slacks now, and will probably wear a 46 jacket, or maybe a 44 if it is generous across the back and shoulders.

You guys that started a little bigger than me that are still in transition... size 50 sportcoat(s), size 48 sportcoat(s), 38W x 32L slacks, 36W slacks, blue suit that I think is a 48 jacket with 36W pants... and I'll double check but I might still have some 40W pants... free to a good transitional home (you just gotta promise you don't stop in that size).... send me a PM and it shall be done.
