Then you're off to finding a really good tailor (the ones in retail stores are generally meh and charge too much) and have you sleeve length, sleeve width, pant leg and width, and jacket width adjusted so that you look like a million bucks with a relatively cheap suit. It is all about having a good tailor. The off the rack suit should fit close-ish to what you want because extreme alterations can mess up a suit
