Question:
Hello all, as you can see, I'm new here. This seems like a very interesting forum, and I'm very glad I found it.
Anyhow, to the question at hand: what is a man who is about a jacket size 34/35 and pants size 26 to do? I've done a few things to try to handle this: I've bought women's clothing that fits very similar to men's, gotten men's items a size or two up and had them tailored...but the tailoring never seems right (and, not to mention, can be incredibly expensive as compared to having a suit very close to one's size just stitched more accurately), and women's is hit-or-miss. I've had a few bad occasions where I've bought some fantastic blazers on ebay, only to find when they arrived that they had very prominent darts.
I haven't been able to find any stores or designers that sell clothes in my sizes. Do any of you know of any? Also, there are several items I'm watching on ebay, one is a vintage two-button pant suit, size 40, and the other is a two-button blazer and vest, size 38. Would I even be able to have these altered to fit me properly?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Answer:
men aren't "petite" this is a feminin adjective
Answer:
Yes, it should be masculine: "petit"
Answer:
"Petite" is the feminine form. As you admit to wearing women's clothes I am troubled and I wonder whether you should simply Google this or go into the teenage departments.
Trolls of course come to mind

Answer:
I was shopping for a suit for my nephews ( one is 16 the other is 13 ) and the quality of teenager suits were awful.
I guess MTM or bespoke could be the way to go
In Europe you can find suits in size EUR 44 ( 34R with 28" trousers) but you'd not find many anyway.
Answer:
Brooks brothers perhaps?
Answer:
Brooks Brothers' boys' department seems to be the standard answer - and welcome to the forum, btw.
