If you are on a budget, hit up Burlington Coat Factory, they have cheap marked down suits if you are in a financial bind.  You can always hit up Banana Republic during their F&F's but their suits are catered to slim folks, just warning you.  Brooks Brothers has a decent selection for your build, but it will cost you a little more.

I've seen steals at dept. stores for good suits, just go during major sales.

I know my suggestion is against the grain since most would say that suits are an investment (I agree), but if your body is going to change, go quantity over quality.  If you are going to see a suit as an investment, then invest in your body/health as well.  Then you can buy more expensive, even custom suits.

..you've deflated me. Nah, respect the input. I know the stats make it seem like I'm disgusting but I'm solid. I dont have a beer belly or saggy #***. I have a "football build". I understand though cause I feel weird when I go to a wedding and throw some slacks on and they're slimming but my chest and shoulder widths are ridic.

 I like the way these Duckie Browns look(left). Would the Sperry Topsiders (on the right) be a good  (affordable) substitute? $400 for shoes isnt in the budget right now.

where does everyone buy black vneck tee shirts? I am not talking about hanes undershirts. Is there a certain brand for it? I don't like the deep v or the really thick v shape ones.

For those of you who work in an office environment and live in colder climates, are you wearing anything under your slacks? Like long johns? Every morning I when walk outside and the cold wind rips through my thin dress pants like a warm knife through butter I tell myself I have to do something about it... but I never do. There has to be a layering alternative to thermal underwear that isn't so thick and obtrusive.
Everyone gives the Heat Tech stuff from Uniqlo high praise for this purpose, might want to check it out.  Thinking of getting some myself.

There's a brand called 2xist or something like that at Nordstrom Rack

Really good quality v-necks and the v isn't that deep

Comes in packs of 3

I would say it's a decent substitute.  I personally think it's a little easier to substitute with a lower quality shoe if it's suede.  You won't have the wooden sole though, which is definitely a factor imo.  The soles on those Sperry's will probably be much bulkier and stick out more (a look I don't like).  But if they're under $100, might as well if you're trying to save.
 
Target got V necks and Crews by mossimo that fit perfect IMO

Thermals, Henley and more all for the low in all kinda colors
 
Jockey V-Necks work for me, also tried Hanes V-Necks and they aren't too bad.  Not as comfy/soft as Jockey.

I'm looking for some black cap/toe shoes, reasonably priced.  Rubber sole mainly, lots of walking and they are for work.  My Bostonians are beat up pretty bad.
