I'm interested to see what you find. I'm in the same boat.

6' 220# with 48 chest and 36" waist.

Dress clothes I can get slim or "fitted" cut stuff.

Everything else I have to get XL or XXl to fit my shoulders and chest but then the waist is way too big.

I went to tall sizes so i don't look like a inexperienced plumber at work. Nobody needs to see that.

Same here except I dropped down to 205 following my Doctors diet plan. And 60 acres of timber stand improvement. Best I can find is western stores that have large talls. I'm not the cowboy hat type but the clothes fit better.

Learn to sew!

Twenty years ago I picked up a decent home sewing machine and now everything fits perfectly.

I have from cheep entry level sewing machines up to muti thousands of dollar swiss machines I have bought my wife. But she has things she loves kes to make and others she has never tried. Her time is limited and she had not fired them up for more than a quick fix in 7 years or so.

Being I will have 24 hrs off maybe only 20hr if I come in early so 19 to 15 hrs for the week at home after drive time since I travel for work and will be cut some wood and trying to get things I'm behind on in all my spare time I don't see me taking up sewing. But if I had time I could help my wife finish here sewing room so maybe she might get back to it sometime. She never messed with men's clothing mostly custom kids stuff when my daughter was small.

It's a the best idea yet just hard to get pulled off. Every time I think I'm close to cutting back hours something comes up.

I didn't mean to imply that I make anything from scratch,

I still try to buy stuff close to my size and take it in just enough enhance my gorgeous body.

I completely understand. That's probably why my wife has not fixed my jackets. Does not want me to have to deal with turning down all the ladies that would be making passes at me.
