    Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down: My wedding tux specs

    @mafoofan - First, thanks for the detailed reply. Very, very helpful. Couple of comments: 1. I had to ask the tailor shop specifically how many measurements they take because, well, I'm an ignorant customer (hence this thread). By asking, I was hoping to get a sense of how detailed they were...

    Quote: @unbelragazzo - Explain this "silk band" to me. Is this what's known as "finished trousers"?

    Quote: I actually kinda like the patent pumps with satin bow look. When else do you get to wear something like that, right? Here's another variable to throw in: I like socks. Bright, colorful socks. Just my thing. (Not really trad, either, but that's why I like it. Keeps people guessing.) The...

    Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down: My wedding tux specs

    Right...I know the vest would be the easy choice, but I'm not a big fan of vests. Too damn hot (the wedding is in late June in DC, and although it'll all be inside, just walking to the church is sure to make me break a sweat, especially with a vest). I had been thinking of going without: no...

    Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down: My wedding tux specs

    Ah - something I forgot to put in. I'm debating between no and side vents. Right now, I'm about 51% in favor of no, and 49 in favor of side. Like I said, I'm pretty trad, which makes me think no vents. But I have a suit that's not vented, and it just isn't all the comfortable: putting hands in...

    Thanks, Roger! Appreciate your thoughts on the buttonhole, too. I understand (from reading a few posts here on SF) that the shawl collar buttonhole is pretty controversial. Oh - any thoughts on shoes? (And congrats on the marriage!)
