    If you've having difficulty find clothes to fit a 40" chest then you looking in the wrong shops. 38" - 40" is considered medium, so 30" must be extra, extra small and be even harder to find!

    I normally buy most of my clothes from George and I have no trouble in t shirts and causal, trousers or shirts but formal formal wear ends at very small sizes.

    Can you borrow a suit from someone if you don't want to buy one? You really need to look smart at interview; they'll be expecting a sloppy student, so don't give them that satisfaction - dress to impress.

    Many Places I go in only sell jackets to 40-42 max,

    I look at !!!!!! in a suit anyway so I am not keen on going for interviews as it is. Maybe soon if I can be that bit thinner I will look and feel much better.

    Getting back on topic, but staying slightly off, a small frame will make suits look even worse as they will begin to hang off you rather than fit you properly (unless you go for bespoke, which isn't very money saving). Personally, I would wear a white shirt, red or blue tie and a dark suit. If you are worried about how the jacket looks, don't do the buttons up.

    I would never go like a scruffy student.

    The formal wear stops at the very small sizes, as the normal sizes are extremly popular and sell out very quickly. I would take the advice earlier in this thread and go to Marks and Spencer for your suits.

    Not round here it doesn't.

    Maybe you're looking in the school uniform section.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    Nope. Real men with stubble :drool: don't.

    Pink is a poncey colour for blokes. It's the ones that think they're 'modern men' that wear it. They can usually be found stocking up on moisturiser and facial scrub :D Tarts.
