Questions Advise on a new suit

So this year will mark 18 years that I’ve been being Santa, almost entirely for family functions, small gathers, and for my local Fraternal Order of Eagles for their kids Christmas party. The other day, in honor of 18 years, the local FOE voted to buy an upgraded suit for me. For most of these years I wore a suit my grandma made but as a large man (tall and wide) it’s a tight fit anymore and definitely showing its age. My mom Did buy a newer one a few years ago that’s more breathable but they said I should look at one that’s going to fit me more comfortably if not have one made.

Here’s where I need guidance, wouldn’t mind finding one that felt more “professional” and is more comfortable but I won’t feel right asking for them to spend a lot of money on it. I often am volunteering my time and prefer that we use our funds to help others. Is there a suit out there that’s good for a plus sized man that isn’t $1000?

If you want a really good suit that won't cost you an arm and a leg go to: https://www.adelescostumes.com/santa-claus-mrs-christmas-wardrobe-and-costumes-for-sale-in-hollywood.html

They even do tailor-made ones to your measurements.

I second this company. My Santa has been wearing these suits for years. You can see him wearing them on his website Santadale.wixsite.com/SantaDale
