My first tuxedo

[Kent Wang]

I think one button sleeve is also acceptable, perhaps even better as it echos the single button on the body. That's how mine is.

Swag

Looks good save that it's bursting at the seams. Never seen wholecuts with formalwear, but I like the look.

Kudos on the cummerbund. Nice detail a lot of guys seem to stray away from these days.

Aside from it appearing a bit too tight to me I will say that the vents also seem to be flaring out. As someone who doesn't wear a tux with any vents I might be alone here, but might be a bit tight in the back.

Interesting how acceptable cummerbunds are. Aren't they the self-tie bowties of the sash world?

I generally like the look. Yes, it is slim, but I'm guessing that is what you wanted. This is your "first" tux, so maybe the cut can get more full as you go.

What shoes are those? Do they really not have a medallion?

Looks awesome. Happy bridesmaid hunting.

Good call buying a tux. I have been to two weddings in the last year and each time I rented

 

[VelvetGreen]

OP, you look great.

Again as a conservative when it comes to formal wear IMHO a cummerbund is a must. Then again I would NEVER wear a pre-tied bowtie.

Wearing pre-tied bowties are like ********** with your cousin. It might look normal or even good to the people around you who don't know. But at the end of the day you know it's just wrong.

Those narrow trousers make your feet look big.

Assuming that is a real bow tie, it looks like a Jumbo Butterfly. If this is your niece's wedding, get a regular. Otherwise, OK.

Unless a drug addled actor on Oscar night, never do this. It is of the Devil.

In Lawndale, four. Don't know about Scotland. No (visible) watch for black tie. Nathan has Copleys on clearance for a shockingly low price. Might still be some. Tell him I sent you. OP -- you seem to have hair. Enjoy it while you can.

Looks great! Lose the watch though

The tuxedo shirt I bought had 4 stud holes

Thanks. It's exactly the fit that I wanted, and I'm very happy. All my suits are tailored the same way.

They are Bally wholecuts. No medallion.

My feet are big. I wear a size 13D

And it is a real bow tie, the last time I wore a ready made tie was back in kindergarten
