male 🐠, thoughts on CT suits for work? do you like them, are they comfy? will they even look good on my body type? 6'3", 212lbs, 44" chest, 35 in waist, and I hate the skinny suit look.

Ok, any serious suggestions about CT suits though?

I bought a slim fit CT suit and had to send it back; really strange cut (high armpit holes and overall uncomfortable). I'm 6'3", 190, 42", 36" for reference. With the free returns I'd just wait for a good sale and try one out. No harm no foul no cost.

Go to a tailor

AT1...I hate the high armpit holes as well. I like slim fit jackets but don't like the tight feel in my arms. I heard Boss suits are good for athletic builds especially for off the rack suits

If you're looking for discount, I've had luck with Calvin Klein, and then spent another $50 to get the sides taken in. In all reality though. I'd recommend a tailor from the start, depending on where you live.

Live in NYC

I've heard suit supply is the place to go. I'm in TX so can't comment though.

ATK1, you must be a funny looking person with those measurements

EY1, if having a "swimmer's body" is funny looking then I'll take it.

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
