I bought a tuxedo today in the SF bay area after going in with an intention of renting or buying one.
A few questions for you with the limited info I gave:
- Black
- Super 150s (Wool + Cashmere)
- Partially fused in front
- Shawl with side vents
- $800 + tax
A few questions for you with the limited info I gave:
- Based on purely that info, did I overpay? I have an event in a few weeks so I don't think I can get a made to measure in that time period, if it's even possible to get a good made to measure tux for that price. So alternative would be to rent for ~$150 and then have one made later.
- It concerns me that the jacket size is smaller than my normal size. Especially if I grow outward a bit in the next 10 years (I'm late twenties now). Should I request a one-size larger jacket and then just have them do more tailoring work to make it fit? Similar question in the pants I guess. Does it make sense to get a one-inch larger diameter to have them take it in so I can grow if I happen to do so. I really hope I don't though.
