If you're really 5'9 and 240lbs with an athletic build, you're completely fucked for off the rack suits. What is the difference between your chest and waist measurements (called the "drop" of the suit)? It's gotta be like 9 or 10 or something ridiculous. Most suits in the US are only like a drop 3-5. "Slim" suits at places like Brooks Brothers will be a drop 6, with a rare drop 7.

For a cheaper option try MTM from Suit Supply if you're in a city where they have them. Decent quality and at least it will fit.
