Bought a Tux, shawl collar, thanks for input everyone. Probably would have preferred a peak lapel but it is extremely difficult to find one OTR these days, and didn't have the time for custom. Anyway, here is the question -
I have quick need for accessories. Where in NYC can I get my hands on a reasonably priced silk self-tie bow tie, the collar on the tux is not gros-grain, which I guess makes it either smooth silk or satin, so I would like the tie to match. BB has a $45 model, but I think that is a bit high priced. Anyone know of anything cheaper, but still nice? I would prefer something with a pretty big wing to it (not sure that is the expression, but I like a bow big on the sides, but with a fairly tight knot).
Also looking for a vest. I think I want want it low cut in the front (scooped?), the better to show off my nice studs, but with a full back (or am I way off in my desires?). Anyone know where I can find something nice, but reasonably priced?
Thanks in advance - you people have never let me down before.
(By the way thanks to Carl at Cego for helping me out with a shirt at the last minute. I will post details about it when I have time. Also, any of you who like pink need to check out this new material Carl has in. Striking plaid pink and white, it may be more of a tattersal, but it was eye-catching, couldn't stop looking at it, not sure I could pull it off for work, but for the bodler among us it is a MUST SEE. Not shilling, just like to share when people do right by me.)
