Hello,

I wanted to share some images from my own wedding. I gave my groomsmen a guide on what to wear, which specified ideal, optional / variation / alternative, and "to avoid" items, plus links to a number of source for each article – including options for rent and to buy at different price points. My aim was to keep a cohesive theme but allow people some flexibility in sourcing. In summary:

  • mid-grey SB 2B suit, notch or peak lapel
  • black oxfords, alternatively derbies
  • white french cuff spread collar dress shirt
  • B&W houndstooth ties in varying scales/orientations, gifted by me

My own outfit consisted of much the same, with some small deviations:
  • White collar, blue & white vertical striped french cuff shirt (self-faced cuffs)
  • Ivory double-breasted waistcoat
  • Midnight & white houndstooth tie

You can see wider shots below for a sense of the fit etc. It was pretty good, I am very tall & thin (6'3", 145 lbs) so it is always a struggle to achieve proper fit in a suit. My biggest quibble is some looseness in the upper sleeves / back, but the suit was tailored too close to the wedding date to be overly picky about it.

Brands (if that matters) were:
  • Paul Stuart (Phineas Cole) suit
  • Proper Cloth shirt
  • Sam Hober tie
  • Crockett & Jones shoes
Several of the groomsmen bought their suits from Suitsupply, as well.

I think it all came together quite well. The grey, white, and black theme is perhaps a tiny bit staid but it is very hard to go wrong, especially with variations as I was not forcing my groomsmen to all use the same vendors. Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

—G.
