    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    El Argentino, thanks for the recommendations. I like the Imperial shearers because they don't have the giant back pockets that the N&F have, but yeah, they are a little expensive. I guess I like more vintage-inspired details but in a slimmer fit. The LVC 1947 501s look pretty cool, too. Does...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I want to buy my first pair of jeans ever. This is what I want: -raw selvage SF-approved fancy denim -pretty slim fit, tapered or pretty slim straight leg -high rise; like, I want them to sit, if not AT my natural waist, certainly well above my hips. -sub-$200 price range. These are my first...

    White tie - how'd I do?

    For the corsage thing - yeah, I'd have cut the stem immediately below the flower. Even better, I'd have done it with a carnation so that the petals hid the point where the stem "entered" the imaginary "buttonhole". But like I said, the flowers were an aspect of the event over which I had no...

    White tie - how'd I do?

    Yeah, I wasn't too excited about the corsage thing, either. This coat didn't have a buttonhole, however, and I didn't work closely with the florist to design a boutonnière/corsage that looked as though there was. On your wedding day, there are so many people running around doing things and...

    White tie - how'd I do?

    I rock a stache like that every day. It would seem silly to shave it off just to get married.

    White tie - how'd I do?

    You guys are always saying not to do white tie unless you can do it right. I'll go out on a limb and say that I'm pretty confident. Vintage sterling and MOP stud, vest button and cufflink set, shirt and collar from Darcy Clothing , vintage waistcoat, vintage coat and trousers. I took...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    Well, I certainly can't expect the groomsmen to wear white tie. I'm surprised that Orgetorix's friends managed to talk anyone into it. This is discouraging. I had this picture in my head of everyone looking great. If these guys are going to be standing up there wearing their ill-fitting tan...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    Oh, I don't expect the groomsmen to do white tie, I just want them to wear tuxedos that match, and don't look like they're at senior prom.

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    Vox, I understand what you're saying. I considered morning dress, but the wedding will be at 5:30 or so, with the reception going into the evening. My expectations for sartorial miracles at this event are not so high to allow for purchasing two sets of anachronistic formalwear for it. Black tie...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    R-H, should I take this to mean that it isn't the custom for the wedding party to dress themselves according to our specs, or that it is, but you hate that custom? I really am clueless on this.

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    Master Squirrel: Yes. That's the one. R-H: Really? Don't bridesmaids have to buy their dresses? I don't know how this goes, I've never gotten married before. I only have the Best Man, the father of the bride and one groomsman. I thought making the wedding party improve their wardrobes was just...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    needshoehelp: I know, right? These are the kind of expectations you get when you read styleforum and shop almost exclusively at thrift stores. Obviously, "budget" is relative. I'd like to spend maybe less than $1000 on my outfit? The groomsmen's clothes far less. Orgetorix: Gahh! I'm...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    I am not going to have the wedding party's suits made, but I want a source to which I can direct them that will have what I want them to wear. If they can find something workable available for rental, great. This is the primary reason I want an inexpensive source for their suits. I'd like to say...
