Dressing like yesteryear (1940s)

[Talltexan]

Howdy!

My name is Jerry Johnston and I love the era of the 1940s especially the way Gentlemen dressed. I would love to incorporate that type of style such as suits , ties, shoes, watches, hats. I am a big guy. That’s the problem. I was wondering if there is a group or someone that specializes in dress for the big man?

I wear a 22x35 dress shirt
58” inch waist long rise pants that I have tailored to fit.
And a extra long tie


Also I am looking for a good tailor for my dress slacks. I live in Montgomery Texas.

If you do Reddit, there's sub on there: r/bigmenfashionadvice/ Some of the discussion is good, some not so much. Just have to use your BS filter. There's pretty good style guide here: The Ultimate Guide to Big Guy Style - https://www.themodestman.com/big-guy-style/
