I'm not especially big (6' 1"), but I've never been happy at all with
any of the clothing options in Japan unless you go the tailor made
route. Part of the reason is not just sizing up, proportions in body
parts tend to be different and that affects things such as shirt and
slacks lengths.

I've always found that its best to stock up when you go home or have
family/friends ship over the proper stuff. However, if it is business
suits, you can get those tailored for the right proportions. Over the
decades, I've used:

Ricky Sarani
3-3-12 Azabudai
Minato-ku, Tokyo

'Ricky Sarani where suit will always fit' (http://www.rickysarani.com)

He's not far from the Russian Embassy in Roppongi. Since the American
Club is just behind the Russian Embassy, he gets a bunch of business
from the business-types who frequent the club. He's certainly well-known
among the business crowd in Japan.
