En la vida se había puesto otras que mejor le sentasen. = Nunca había tenido/nunca habia usado otras que le sentasen tan bien.

In his life, he had never worn any that fitted him better. ??? ---> This is written in the past + subjunctive mood (sentasen), meaning that Don Paco had never had shirts that fitted him so well.
