    Another Darn Wedding Question

    Yep, you guessed it. The chocolate brown is part of the overall "autumn" color scheme of the wedding. So, given that it is a "day" wedding, would a black suit with a white tie (with the groomsmen wearing long black ties), still be inappropriate? If so, what type of suit would be appropriate...

    Another Darn Wedding Question

    Unfotunately, she keeps running into the room with more pictures of the black suit/white tie look. It is also on the cover of her most recent wedding magazine. Her comment "if it is such a faux pas, why is everyone wearing this ensemble at these high end weddings".

    Another Darn Wedding Question

    I tried the morning dress thing, but she thinks that the gray will clash with the chocolate brown bridesmaid dresses. Plus, her words "I don't want to look like we are getting married in the English countryside." I think she wants to black suit/white tie thing in order to not clash. Well, if it...

    Huge Drop -- Help?

    Thanks for the advice. Mytailor.com is going to be in Scottsdale in October. I may give them a shot, although the reviews have been mixed. Alternatively, try a traveling tailor like W.W. Chan. A search on this board will show many people who use tailors like that.

    I wear a size 48 jacket and have a 37/38 inch waist, am I doomed to separates or MTM? If doomed to separates, what are the best quality separates out there? Also, how much of a change is waist size would you be comfortable in getting from a tailor? For example, if I found a size 42 pant...

    Jantzen black fabrics...

    Just wanted to bump this old thread. I am looking for a good black fabric for a casual "going out" type shirt to wear with Jeans. The black linen from Jantzen was a bit too "shiney" for my taste. What about this one? French Oxford #53, Jet Black French Oxford Cotton...
