Brock, I 'll have to ask Lamar, I don't have a clue about what he has or hasn't done with Mobbys. I had a Viking sport for many years and it served me well. I think most people make the mistake of not getting their suit custom fit if they can't wear one off the shelf. They just buy them anyway, and end up with a poor fitting baggy suit. The Viking fit me like a glove, but it would also stretch and flex fairly easily. It was a stock size too. Just lucky, I guess. For the price of suits worth having today, I'd have it measured and fit perfectly.
