Is a 6x1 DB tuxedo outdated?

[AnGeLiCbOrIs]

I was shopping last night and found an Ermenegildo Zegna 6x1 DB peak lapel tux NWT for a very low price. It also fits almost perfectly OTR. My question is whether this style is outmoded or simply less common than a SB tux or even possibly 6x2 DB. Can I wear it to my wedding?

Thanks!

Does it have a keystone button stance? Imagine a line connecting all the buttons.

Or are the bottom four arranged like a square, and the top two wider-spaced?

If keystone, it is not only outdated, it would be fugly at any time. If the latter, then it is a classic "Kent" style DB.

I think it was kinda like this:

(Speaking of fugly, how about my MS Paint skill?)

I felt it was pretty outdated and perhaps fugly - which is why I did not buy a NWT Zegna tux for $120

Yeah, that's the bad kind. Very '80s. Fugly even then.

Is 4x1 the classic tuxedo formation?

For shawl, yes. For peak, either 6x2 or 4x1 can be considered classic.

If I ever got another one, I think it would be 4x1 shawl. Long way off, that.
