    Midnight Blue Tuxedo (for Toronto Wedding)

    After some thorough browsing, I can totally relate. What is up with all these RTW offerings of notch lapels? Some just look like a black suit. I might as well be serving food to my guests if I'm wearing a black suit and bow tie. Anyway, I think it is a good idea just to invest instead doing any...

    Midnight Blue Tuxedo (for Toronto Wedding)

    Apologies for the confusion. Wedding is in September 2013. So I definitely have some time. Unfortunately, I'm just coming off emergency surgery so it's looking like I won't have an opportunity to visit a tailor until I recover which will probably be in October or November. Thought I'd start my...

    Midnight Blue Tuxedo (for Toronto Wedding)

    I would agree with you that no vents would be the way to go. I was considering a cummerbund instead of a waistcoat but I will definitely consider it. Thanks for the heads up.

    Midnight Blue Tuxedo (for Toronto Wedding)

    Thanks for the reply. I can certainly reallocate the budget elsewhere (much to my fiancée's delight) but I would like to be in a position to at least see some viable options. We've set a budget that is actually quite reasonable and we're not in bad shape at all. Sure, if it comes down to the...

    Midnight Blue Tuxedo (for Toronto Wedding)

    I have a wedding next September and I've been looking to acquire a midnight blue tuxedo for the occasion. I am going back and forth on how to proceed. - MTM vs OTR (not sure if my budget allows for Bespoke -- also not sure if I really want my first Bespoke piece to be a tux) - Stay with...

    To Canadian Forumites - Any new spending plans this Fall?

    Going to Boston, in April. Considering where our dollar's at, I might be picking up a few sports coats or even a suit. Wondering if anyone knew places I should definitely check out?

    I'm looking for a pair of glasses similar to this one.. can you help me?

    try warby parker Now of GQ fame, it's affordable and has pretty good customer service, I hear from some friends of mine who've tried it. They have this program where they send you up to 5 frames (without corrective lenses installed) so that you can see how they fit. Probably worth taking a look.

    Which Tie Designs Do You Like?

    I love #s 1 & 3. Something about both that denotes spring (more than any of the others), to me. Silk and Linen Stripe looks great as well mostly because of the material.

    anybody know anything about the brand called "Allea"? I got a couple knit ties for a pretty good bargain. I wasn't sure about the quality, though. Any insight?
