Two of the groomsmen had issues with their existing navy suits (don't have / ill-fitting / etc), so charcoal was the compromise.
I have checked out Kent Wang's stuff
-- this pink basket is quite nice but far too wide (my groomsmen are all skinny/shorter).Thanks for the suggestions -- will consider the burgundy on houndstooth as well.
