So, I have a wedding to attend tonight (just found out a couple of days ago) and it turns out my suit doesn't fit at all anymore because I've lost too much weight. Is there any option in BR that I could get a decent fitting OTR suit in a hurry? Price isn't really an issue. Obviously, getting it tailored is out of the question.

I went to a Macy's once and bought a suit that fit good enough. I would head to the mall.

Not sure where you live but there are a couple places on magazine st in New Orleans that might be able to accommodate. Also men's warehouse has onsite alterations.

Yes. Brooks brothers, Dillard's and Target sell suits in a buy the pants from a rack and the coats from another rack format. No alterations needed. Price and quality according to store.

Macy's has Michael Kors OTR suits that have already fitted pants.

Go to the mall

You should be able to find something OTR at Macy's/penny's/Dillard's

Go to the mall. OTR will work as long as you aren't some weird measurements

Express in Mall of Louisiana. Got a last minute suit there for a family member for a wedding last year.

- I'm 6'2 and pretty skinny right now, so that's my concern with anything OTR.

I was in a similar situation last year. Went to macys at mall of LA and bought a suit based off of the correct coat size. Then there is a place on the other side of the mall called something like Hackey? They did the alterations quickly. I think the whole ordeal of buying the suit and having it altered took less than an hour. The suit came out fitting perfect.

Just get you a suit separate. If it needs to be hemmed they can do it on the spot.
