>>>I can empathize with the guy who complains about the boxy suits. If I ever go back to wearing suits, I am going with the euro cut, business attire be damned. Come to think of it, I may have a couple custom tailored. The only decent ones I have had were hand-me-downs from my brother who had them custom tailored and one Italian suit I bought in the garment district in L.A. I even wore that on my wedding day.

Do you wear suits in your line of work? If not, why bother with suits? If the shoulder fits you correctly, then the rest(sides, sleeves, etc) can be altered to make the suit fit you well.
Some people use outfits from Hong Kong for custom tailoring. They fly to the US twice a year with a measuring tape and cloth samples. They take your measurements and money, and in 4-5 weeks mail your finished clothes from Hong Kong.
