    What is the name of this shawl collar tuxedo jacket button style?

    Heya, longtime reader, first-time poster. I sew a fair bit of menswear and have gotten great advice just from lurking in these forums -- most recently source photos for two-button blazer cuffs. This question is almost impossible to search for online or even in these forums, though. I'm hoping...

    WEDDING EMERGENCY! My tuxedo will not be ready for my wedding in 2 weeks.

    I was just informed by Kent Wang that my tuxedo will not be ready for my wedding date that's exactly 16 days from now. What are good tuxedo options I can get in that time? Is a tailored or MTM option even possible at this point? I just wanted a classic single-button tuxedo with grosgrain...

    I’ve read a number of posts here and articles elsewhere suggesting that peak or shawl lapels are the proper lapels for tuxedos. Why are notch lapels considered poor form? I’m considering purchasing a tux. But the guidance becomes conflicting when I see two iconic people, President Obama and...

    Black Tie Recommendation for a beginner

    Hello, 2 years ago on short notice for a black tie event I quickly ordered a "Christian Dior" tuxedo on ebay because the price was good. I believe it was a previously rented tuxedo, but it served me well for the event. I was then wondering, are these "former rented" tuxedos any good? I will be...

    Which tuxedo should I purchase for my wedding?

    I’m in the market for a tuxedo for my wedding and found two that I really like. A slim fit peak lapel one from Suit Supply for $698 and trim fit notch lapel one from Corneliani which I was able to negotiate down to $600. Obviously the Corneliani suit is higher quality and I’d be paying less for...

    Looking at a tuxedo, seeking thoughts

    Getting married this summer and SO wants me to wear a black tux. The event is not black tie, just formal, but wants me to wear something nice. I do not have a tux at present, but would probably get a couple of times per year use out of it (weddings + opera). I'm 5'10 and average body, 170lbs...

    Where to buy a tuxedo

    Hello. I'm looking for a tuxedo for my upcoming prom in the end of May. Where do you recommend I look? I don't really know what my budget is but I'm looking for a lower end tuxedo so that I can put money towards alterations as well.
