    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    hehe that makes sense however I am treating the best men to their outfits so I have to be fair in what I get everyone. Anyways I'm going for ties for everyone now so no need for collar decisions anymore:)

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Hi, First of all sorry for the late reply. And second thanks for the advice - after a lot of thinking I've decided to ditch the idea of the cravat altogether. Also I've phoned the tailor up and asked him to make the waistcoat in the same material as the rest of the outfit. I think I was trying...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    The shoes I'm getting a pair of patent lace ups made for me. Again getting this so I can match with the best men who would be wearing similar, albeit store bought ones.

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    thanks for the feedback again guys! :) Here is the dilemma; I have a short/thick neck and I have always thought wing collars don't flatter me. Another option is to go for a victorian collar which covers a bit more....but i think they look a bit messy. Also, if I go for a victorian/wing...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    I have too much spare time in my hands. I butchered a picture of morning suit on photoshop so the colours look like mine. Do you guys think everything co-ordinates well? Im tempted to go for a splash of colour for the tie/cravat (pink/red?) but it could end up too flashy.

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Thanks for the reply again! I think I might just be misinterpreting what pique actually is hehe. I picked the fabric for the shirt and it had a very feint texture to it - nothing like what you've shown in the picture there! I'm having dress studs in the shirt to try to kill two birds in one...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Thanks for the feedback. When I said pique shirt I was actually thinking of a normal turndown collar, but with that sort of ribbed texture to the cotton (that's what pique is right?). The cravat will be worn more like a ruched tie. Here is the effect I'm going for.

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Hi, Im getting married this summer and I'm planning on wearing two outfits; morning suit for the day and a black velvet tuxedo for the evening. I've already decided on the cloths etc for the outfits but I would dearly like some advice on how to accessorise everything to complete the look...

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    Hi everyone, Apologies about my inactivity. I called Manoj tailors but they said their 3 pieces started from £1500 which is unfortunately out of my price range. I revisited Roy Smith Tailors in notts today and went ahead with the purchase. I'm getting the Morning Suit done in a beautiful navy...

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    I'll definitely give him a visit. I went to Roy Smith Taiilors yesterday and funnily enough they had the exact same material and quoted me around £900 for it! (£1,500 at Ted Williams) He has been doing this for 40 years and he does everything himself. They don't have a proper shop front -...

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    GBR - Thanks again. I went to Ted Williams yesterday. They seem like a quite professional/knowledgable outfit - but then again I haven't been to any others so have no benchmark! But all their work is carried out in Yorkshire (not abroad like some other firms) so I feel it might be a good choice...

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    Thanks for the replies. marcodalondra - I was thinking more of a shade close to the grey of the morning suit the groomsmen would wear - with stripes ofcourse. With the coat being of a darker shade. I might still go with a same colour top/bottom to match the groomsmen though. Will have to talk...

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    Thanks for the picture. This might work - although I don't want to differentiate too much from the groomsmen. Might make the trousers the same shade-ish so there is a common element running through. Also does anyone have any recommendations on tailors in nottingham or sheffield?

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    Yeah I know the budget is nowhere close to savile row type tailors - but I had something more like Cad and the Dandy in mind. Thanks for the suggestion on the striped trousers - I'll try to google that wedding to see if it works with the morning suits! :)

    Bespoke morning suit - Local tailor or London?

    Hi, I'm getting married this August and have decided to wear a morning suit for it. I want to go down the bespoke route because I often find it very difficult to fit into off the rack suits due to my chunky proportions! I am looking to complete everything within a £1500 budget (coat, waistcoat...
