A tuxedo - suggestions for a slim guy on an equally slim budget

Hi,

I'm in need of a tuxedo for an upcoming graduation, followed by a wedding a few months later. Where I live, the menswear options are considerably lacking (save for Four Horsemen and Outlooks, although Four Horseman doesn't carry formal-wear, and Outlooks doesn't carry anything black-tie), especially for all things black-tie related. Further compounding this issue is my jacket size - 36R - and my 6 foot tall, 150 lb frame (finding a 36R jacket in the only department store we have in my city, The Bay, is more or less impossible outside of a few JNY sport-coats), in addition, my budget maxes out at $1000 CAD including shipping, taxes, and duties. 

In short: I need a tuxedo less than $1000, available in 36R jacket sizes, and obviously slim-fitting, considering my approximate 6 foot tall, 150 lb frame. I need the tuxedo before May.

What I'm currently considering is JCrew's shawl-collar tuxedo: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/suiting/blacktie/PRDOVR~50676/50676.jsp however, after reading various threads throughout Style Forum, the roughly $900 for the JCrew tuxedo seems to be extremely overpriced for the quality of the garment. 

Anyway, this is my first post here after 'lurking' for a long while, so apologies in advance for anything I have missed or have failed to do. All help is much appreciated. I'm also more than willing to answer any questions or add/elaborate on anything I've already said. 

Thanks

Thanks, black_umbrella - I found an alternative to that version that seems more classic (matching colour single button, no ticket pocket, jetted instead of flap pockets.) However, the fit is listed as "Smoking" instead of "Washington" and there's no description of the "Smoking" fit... any ideas? http://www.suitsupply.com/shop/1.P1109A/Tuxedo?filter_27=736#

Brooks Brothers has the Jacket only for under $900.

Thanks, Green Lantern, and I would much prefer DB over SB as well, however finding a jacket, along with matching pants, is difficult at my price point. $900 is too steep for the jacket alone, especially before taxes, duties, and shipping fees.

You can use the money you save to get the tuxedo altered to fit you properly.
If you want to try online made-to-measure, Indochino is a very budget-friendly option: http://www.indochino.com/collection/Tuxedo-Suits
And I've heard good things about Magnoli: http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/royale-tuxedo-tuxedos-p-246.html

I've noticed many people recommend Jos. A. Banks for a classic tuxedo at an affordable price, my main worry is that they'll fit terribly as they seem to be on the much more classic fitting side of things. I may try an online MTM service in the future, but I don't have the time to risk the probably multiple amount of remakes and time that will take to get right. 

Can anyone else comment on Magnoli?

OK, thanks for the advice everyone. At present, I'm thinking of going for this: http://www.suitsupply.com/shop/1.P1109A/Tuxedo?filter_27=736#
