    Need advice on what to tailor for tuxedo.

    I definitely need to get the pants hemmed as well as get braces. I think the Tux was literally the last one. I bought the Tux jacket itself for 112 bucks, and Macy's gave me the pants probably by accident. When I bought the Tux on the website, it specifically said only the Tuxedo Jacket...

    Need advice on what to tailor for tuxedo.

    Hey Everyone, My tuxedo came along with the bow-tie/cummerbund, and tux shirt. Got it at Macy's online and everything totaled to about $200. I think I got a really good deal for the money but I need help on how to make it look better on me. I am about 6'1, 165 lbs. Wearing 40L, 34x32...

    Looking for a cheap tuxedo. Is this a good buy?

    While I was taking those prewedding pics, I wore the same tux with 4 different bow-tie & cummerbund colors: black, white, red, and that one I was wearing on my initial post. Not quite sure how to describe that one. Here is a pic of me wearing the red bow-tie. I was slouching...

    Looking for a cheap tuxedo. Is this a good buy?

    oh yea. If the color is god-awful, I will return it and swap for something else. But for Chinese weddings, there isn't much of a variety other than red or gold.

    Need a jacket, help me choose

    Oh. I'm no fashion expert but I have spent the past 2-3 weeks researching about suits and tuxes for my wedding next year. I hear it's hard to fix the shoulders.

    Need a jacket, help me choose

    Nevermind. I read your post incorrectly. I thought you mentioned the material around your button looked stretched. If the shoulders you feel are not wide enough, you should maybe go back and try a larger size on and exchange if needed.

    I am almost 6'1, 165 lbs, and I wear 40L. Are you sure you're a regular fit and not a long?

    Looking for a cheap tuxedo. Is this a good buy?

    Thanks for the reply. I am going to look around for a tuxedo shirt and cumberbund. I'm trying to get the same ensemble as the rental tuxedo combo I wore while in South Korea. As for the bowtie, I might have to wear a red one. Do they make red tuxedo bow-ties? I decided to buy the jacket for...

    Looking for a cheap tuxedo. Is this a good buy?

    Hey everyone, I need a tuxedo for my Chinese dinner banquet. I am the groom. I am not planning on getting a rental because I want to get it tailored. I only plan to wear this tux once because my lifestyle does not involve black tie events. I have checked Suit Supply, and while it looks...
