However, you might want to dip your toe into the world of MTM (made to measure), which can get close* to bridging the gap between the quality of a tailored garment with the somewhat reasonable price of and OTR (off the rack) piece.
Spend a few moments online with the various fashion oriented sites to get the names of a few vendors and start exploring. Hope that helps.
Personally, I've had much success with buying quality vintage pieces (OTR and bespoke) and having them tailored to fit my frame. I'm not talking Salvation Army stuff, rather quality finds at estate sales in the high end of town. Taking the OTR stuff you have from Men's Warehouse to a tailor will do wonders, "I guarantee it".
*close, but nothing replaces the quality fit and feel of a truly bespoke shirt.

I have a friend that bought TWO Broini suits that were in perfect condition and in good colours for $60 (30 each) at a GoodWill. Those were 6K each suits...
He also found a 4 pairs of Tom Ford dress shoes one was a pair of Crocs that retailed for 12K.. (the other 3 were about 1200 each) .at a local Thrift for under 20 each.
So it depends upon the town that the Thrifts are in?
