I just purchased my first Tuxedo about a week ago for an evening Black Tie Optional Wedding. Since purchasing it and reading a lot of information I have come to see that 2 button Notch Lapels are frowned upon, but live and learn I suppose. Anyhow, the Tux I purchased was just the dinner jacket and pants. I also purchased a 1/2" pleated shirt at the same time. I know that 5 or 6 button Waistcoats are Prom wear, but it is extremely difficult to find a low-cut 3 button one. I have found two on the internet, one is wool with a satin shawl lapel and the other is all poly/satin with a shawl lapel. Are Waistcoats supposed to have the same type of Notch Lapel as my jacket or is shawl acceptable? I also know that it can be hard to get a separate wool waistcoat and have it match the black wool of the suit, but have others had success doing this? I would prefer to have it wool with trim than all satin if possible. Thank you for any advice you can give.
