    Tuxedo Shirt Back Pleats?

    Hello! Just wondering if there is a "correct" option for back pleats for a tuxedo shirt? Should it be minimalist and plain (ie. no pleats)? Or is it acceptable to have side pleats or even a box pleat? I have a broad chest and shoulders and find my customary business dress shirts much more...

    Wedding/Tuxedo Watch Strap/Buckle recommendation

    Blemish in Brooks Bros Golden Fleece Suit

    I managed to score a new BB GF single-vent suit in a recent sale for $450 but just noticed a blemish in the fabric on the lapel. Is this something y'all think a tailor can fix or can be overlooked given the deal I got? Or is it a dealbreaker. Thanks!

    Actual sleeve length difference to get 0.25" of shirt cuff showing underneath suit?

    Hi y'all! I'm getting a suit and dress shirt made from a tailor in town. He measured my sleeve length down to my wrist (25") and said he's going to make the suit sleeve shorter by 1/4" to get the shirt cuff to show underneath. Is that really enough though? I mean that assumes the shirt is...
