I own a 1 button shawl collar tuxedo with grosgrain facing(s). I most recently wore it with a cummerbund, as I found few vest options I liked. I will be wearing it a few more times in the fall, and I am considering having a vest made... few questions.
1) What is the best look for my tux? I am thinking full back, textured grosgrain or something along the same lines, 2 or three buttons, but "scooped" very low (almost as low as a cummerbund) to show 3 (possibly 4) studs) with no lapels.
2) Chan is in town for the next few days, but also considering Mr. Ned. Thoughts or suggestions? (I have to go to Chan anyway to get the shoulders/armholes fixed on the suit I had made in HK. Haven't worn it because it just isn't right yet, don't feel comfortable in it - hopefully it will work!)
3) [Ancilllary Questions] August wedding, black tie optional, outdoors in New England. Tuxedo of course (thought about white DJ, but the groom will be wearing one, and I don't want to compete) will a vest be too hot? Should I stick with the cummerbund for this one? Pocket square, keyed to wife's dress (matron of honor), white silk, or another option?)
