So I just got invited to my Universities Foundation dinner. This is usually reserved for people that have been at the University for some time and I am fairly new, under 4 years. I consider it an honor that they have included me so early and want to do my best to look good. I will be sitting with a few VP's, some Board of Trusties and major donatoring members so I need to look sharp. Rental, imho, is not an option.
I was planning on getting a Tux for new years next year but this is forcing my hand as the dinner is March 26th. I wanted a Nitro special but it looks like he is all out, does anyone have his seller name I assume it is Nitro but was not sure if he had special charectures.
Anyway I need help fromn you fine folks to choose a Tux. My tailor has 2 Tuxuedo's that I am considering. I think he is giving me a very good price, let me know your thoughts.
Borrelli: 2300
Peak Lapel (wide)- Satin
2 Button
It has a vintage look to it that I am on the fence about.
Flat Front pant
closed vents
Oxxford- 2100
Peak Lapel- not as wide as the Borrelli
One Button- Very cool horn buttons
Double Reverse Pleats (not thrilled about this)
Hollywood Pant (Very Cool)
double vented- I think I want to seal them.
Grosgrain
I will get some pictures of the Borrelli when I go back. What do you guys think about the Oxxford and the price? I relize that 2100 is a ton of money but this is a very special event and I want to make a good impression. I am not rich by any means and this will hurt the wallet a bit but not kill me. This is why I am thinking craefully about this purchase and seeking help on this board. Should I just get a rental and hold out for a tux or just take the plunge and get the Oxxford now at 2100?
Thanks in advance for any help in my decision making process.
