Canali single vs 2 button tuxedo

[Simon29]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, have been reading for a little while and decided I might as well join up. A little background; I'll be getting married in December and I don't own a tuxedo of my own. A lot have told me I should just hire, but I'd rather buy something that fits me well and that I love so I can keep it for years to come.

I've started looking recently at different ones; hugo boss didn't suit my shape at all (I'm a 36), plus I've read mixed things about them. Went to the new Canali store in my city and they had a 2 button tuxedo that was a very nice fit. My local store only stocks the 2 button tux (at a pretty high price too) - I was in contact with the London store and they only stock the single button. Does anybody on here know much about the difference between the two? I was hoping for a single button (I like the classic style) but at the moment there's no way for me to see one..

Cheers all

I imagine the fit will be pretty similar if not identical, providing they're the same model/line; the only difference would be the one less button (obviously) and possibly correspondingly differently shaped quarters. If the 2-button fits you then you should be fine ordering the 1-button from the London store (and 1-button would certainly be preferable).
