Hey Gents,
Firstly, I hope all is well with each of you. It's been a hell of a year already...
Secondly, I'm getting married! Our date is December 4th of this year, which I know will be here before we all know it. Fiscally, I'm extremely irresponsible - grew up being very into fashion (worked at Nordstrom when I was 15 y/o until I was in my mid 20s during school summers), but traded in my suits for jock-attire when I got to college. Anyway, my fiancee and I are going black-tie, and I want a damn tuxedo.
As a tall, slim, athletic dude, I'm drawn to Saint Laurent (and there happens to be a SL store here in Portland, which is rare. The city, despite all the transplants these past 10 or so years, isn't exactly bougie when it comes to fashion, so that's a nice bonus being able to go there and try things on, ship stuff there and have them tailor for free, etc. I'm also interested in Tom Ford tuxedos...well-aware they're expensive due to the name attached, but the quality seems to be there, too. I'm only planning on getting married once, so I'm not necessarily deal-hunting here.
I'll hopefully end up attaching plenty of photos to this thread, but for now some stats to help with suggestions from all you gurus!
Height: 6'3
Weight: Fluctuate between 175 - 185lbs
Suit size: Normally wear a 38 or 40R
Waist size: 31
Looking for suggestions for a real slim, badass tuxedo that I will be proud to wear (and look at in photos) as well as tuxedo shirt, suspenders, bowtie and probably cummerbund. Open to everything at this point, but have been heavily researching what people on this site think of YSL and Tom Ford...
