I saw a few tuxes at the thrift store yesterday and a few peak lapels. Anyone have Peak lapels here? I wonder if it would make me look wide in a bad way.
I have a Hickey Freeman MTO w peak lapels. I would never wear a dinner suit unless it had peak lapels or a shawl lapel. Notch lapels are not proper. If the lapels are proportional to the jacket, you will not look strange.
I also have two double breasted suits with peak lapels (2nd hand Chittleborough & Morgan). They have strong shoulders as well as the peak lapels. They don't make me look wide, because they fit so well. I think the key to not looking wide is having shoulders that fit and a nipped waist.
