    Wolverine Duvall Boots

    Bit of a late reply, but I just received my Duvalls. There's a touch more patina on the right boot than on the left, but nothing like what you've got going on there. It almost looks like you have a demonstration model where one boot was in the box and the other was on display.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Very clever! I will have my tailor add just such a feature to the shirt. Thanks!

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Friends, I came upon an issue with my newly-assembled tuxedo that maybe you can help me with. I have a Kent Wang tuxedo shirt and cummerbund. I found that, probably because of the thickness of the material at the bib, the shirt was always pulling up slightly out of my trousers and bunching up...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

     Seems too much of a risk for irreparably damaging the facing, doesn't it? With the event just over three weeks away, I've no time (or, frankly, spare funds) to replace the jacket if the job goes south.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Gentlemen, My dinner jacket has no buttonhole on the lapel for a boutonnière. What does one do, in this case, when a floral arrangement is required to be worn for, say, one's wedding? While it's not a particularly expensive or high-end jacket, I'm still not exactly enthusiastic with the idea...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

     Thank you! My tailor will be handling this, at any rate, so I'm not too concerned with the details—just curious.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Could you elaborate on the position a bit more? My thoughts were simply to centre the brace itself over the crease in the trousers, spacing the buttons far enough apart to account for the natural V-shape of the button-hole extensions.

    Thank you for the recommendation!

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    I will post photos later, but I may have the problem of the trousers being slightly lower rise than I'd like, or perhaps my cummerbund not being as wide as it could be. Hence my concern.

    Putting Together A Black-Tie Rig

    The tuxedo is home from my tailor, and the MTM tuxedo shirt is in process with Kent Wang's artisans. Still to acquire: Cufflinks, maybe these? Braces, white Black silk stockings Still to do: Practice tying a bow tie until my fingers bleed

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    I just got my tuxedo back from my tailor as I work on getting together my black-tie rig. I have a question: the trousers do not, of course, have belt loops, nor do they have side-tabs or buttons for braces. I would prefer to get buttoned braces (would these be suitable?) so I will have to...

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

    I'm wearing the navy with white pindots square right now. I actually get quite a bit of use out of it.
