Hey, Congrats for the wedding!

1-3 are the practically same suit, Hugo Passolini movie - look sharp but its informal and better for work
4 is a no-go
5. Hugo Jam/Sharp: This has slimmer fit, which is better than 1-3, but again it is informal
6. is a no-go
7. The best option of all and most importantly it is a tuxedo!

Although the fit is a top priority, the quality come close second. If you have extra budget, I suggest you go with RLBL, Zegna, Hickey Freeman, and Canali. I have tried all those brands and I went for RLBL tuxedo for my wedding. Hope it helps!

Meh, when I see 7 I just think suit jacket with shiny lapels. Might just be the tie that does it though.

How did we get this many posts and nobody to say that these guys are leading your down the wrong path...

1. Avoid Boss. The quality:money ratio is way outta whack.
2. For the love of god, no 2 button peak lapel dinner jacket. (edit: in short, #7 is to be treated like venereal disease)

1. I wouldn't buy boss, you won't understand now, but if you stuck around, then you would.
2. I'd watch out for "New without tags" on ebay as it 99% of the time means used but looks good enough to pass as new (unless there's visible basting such as shoulders, sleeves, or vents.
3. Especially on a tuxedo avoid "new without tags" as I'm 99% sure that someone wore it for one occasion and wants to sell it...

This is your wedding and there will be tons of photos. Do this right and buy your suit at a store where you can try them on. Then, buy something that fits your shoulders perfectly. When the shoulders fit, you know you have the right size. Also, skip black and go with navy. You will look better and it will photograph better next to your bride.

Good luck!
