    "Cocktail"

    Thanks for your replies! I have asked the groom and he has gone with "somewhere between smart casual and black tie" which ties in with this description: https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/cocktail-attire-for-men/ I'm going with a fairly broad spectrum then, and your suggestions all sound good.

    "Cocktail"

    iTailor Experiences

    Hi Edward, EDIT: iTailor has now decided to offer me another tie instead. Did you go with iTailor? I'm afraid to say that I've just had a very disagreeable experience with them. Here's what I just posted on another forum: Quote: Let me know if you went with them and whether your...
