But after struggling to find a tailor to make him a three-piece in his size, he eventually managed to track down a London-based one.
Tim Nash, of Norton and Townsend tailoring, took on the challenge - using twice the amount of fabric a regular man would need for a suit.
And Paul is thrilled with the £1,500 product. The former Harlem Globetrotters player, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, said he is "really looking forward" to wearing the first suit of his life.
He will don the piece, made in medium grey wool, for the upcoming wedding of his close friend Luis Taylor in Atherstone, Warwickshire.
He said: "I have always struggled a lot finding someone to make me a suit. I reached out to a few people but no one was up for it.
“It has been tedious and it took me quite a while, but Tim agreed straight away.
“I have never had a suit in my life. I went to my best friend’s wedding with trousers and a shirt. I was still dressed smartly, but everyone needs a suit."
He added: “I am very grateful, especially since I have been struggling to find someone to do the job.
