What kind of shirt with tuxedo?
Thanks for the info, guys. That's pretty much what I was thinking. And she's not my fiancee anymore--the wedding was last month. I didn't wash the shirt three times beforehand, but I had it laundered and pressed. I think it worked out okay anyway- struan87

What kind of shirt with tuxedo?
As some of you may remember from my tuxedo thread a while ago, I ended up getting a Jantzen shirt for my wedding. It's a plain-front white pique shirt with French cuffs and peak lapels. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I could dress it down to wear casually without looking...- struan87

Jantzen, Reliable at last?
- ordered tuxedo shirt on 8/7 - order acknowledged by Ricky on 8/11 - received in Seattle 9/1 Hooray! I'll definitely be ordering more. The fit is perfect except around my waist; I sent them a waist measurement that was 3-4" larger than my pants waist because that's what I got when I...- struan87

I received an email from Ricky this weekend. I sent payment info and dropped the fact that I need the shirt for my wedding Hopefully that will skew the odds in my favor a bit.- struan87

Jantzen, Reliable at last?
Well, I called them last night (about an hour after they opened for the day) and was less than impressed. Once I told the guy that I had placed an internet order, he asked me to call back later and hung up.- struan87

Jantzen, Reliable at last?
I havent ordered in about 9 months, but my last order I got within 3 weeks from placement. I understand not submitting your cc info, but that will probably guarantee never seeing your shirts. Dangit. I really, really didn't want to submit my cc info on an unsecured site. I'll email them just to...- struan87

Jantzen, Reliable at last?
Wow, that's not encouraging. Has anybody actually gotten their online order within two-three weeks? I just placed an order last night, but I included a note saying I won't send my credit card info until I get a confirmation email. At least I won't get charged if they never reply. How long...- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
If they have the Boss in your size AND you can get quality tailoring, I would think it would fit your needs. I've read a little more about Boss and I'm not so sure now. Apparently they're cut wide in the shoulders for "athletic" builds, which I definitely do not have. Edit: An added thought...- struan87

I emailed The Wizard of Aahs and Nitr-o and neither of them have 36s. I found a few more options by searching other boards and forums; do any of these look good? Jean Yves-Belfort Jean Yves-Parisian Peak Hugo Boss I haven't been able to find much else in my size for less than ~$600...- struan87

Thanks, that's a good find. I'm still pretty wary of going the DB route just because I've never been happy with a DB suit I've owned. The link you posted does seem to be Italian; the label says "Made in Italy" and the auction says "this tuxedo is "Made in Italy" by the skilled hands of old...- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
Alright, here's the story. Last night I went to Jos. A Bank, and the salesman's first words were "I'm afraid we don't have your size" (good eye!). They only go down to 38S. I tried on a 38S suit, and it was passable, but not ideal. He says if I can't find anything else, I can still...- struan87

If you...have any doubt, SB peak is safer. I think that's where I am right now. SB it is. Ah-- that would not be good. Personal peeve here: one should not plan to be better dressed than one's guests. You're all friends celebrating together. Interesting, I didn't think about it that way. So that...- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
Do you guys think that at 5'6" he should avoid the double-breasted and do the one-button peak? That's been my experience. When I was younger I thought the double-breasted look was "totally rad" but now I realize it just doesn't look as good as I thought. I second the Jos A Bank Signature peak...- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
Don't your groomsmen own dark suits? For job interviews and funerals, at least? Yes, some of them do. Still, we'd be pretty mismatched although now I'm thinking that may be okay. Would it be appropriate for them to wear suits and me to wear a tuxedo? Then we would have the same formality gap as...- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
This is the same thing I am struggling with for my own wedding. I was considering wearing a suit (single button peak lapel) but can't figure out what my groomsmen would wear. Perhaps they can rent suits? Do places even do that? I'm sure you can find a place that will rent suits if you look hard...- struan87

Thanks to everyone for the advice and good wishes! A tuxedo is as formal as you want to get. At a 6pm wedding you might get some disagreement about whether a tux is appropriate, but I think you're probably OK (7pm would be safer). The reception is at 7, so we'll count that But I think you (and...- struan87

What kind of shirt with tuxedo?
Good question, I need to know the same thing. What's the best way to affix a flower to your lapel? Would a pin damage the fabric?- struan87

Need help with wedding attire
I'm trying to figure out what I should wear for my wedding, and a friend referred me here. I've read through several tuxedo-related threads and learned a lot of buzzwords, but I still think some specific advice would help. The wedding will be in Texas in October, outside, around 6pm. I expect...- struan87
