And with the dads, who are in strollers/black lounge/stressemen, or whatever you'd like to call it:

Nice man. This has to be a custom tux. Looks good!

Vintage coat. No alterations. Not kidding. Also, it's not a tux, it's a morning coat This is a tux:

Love the coat!!!

Thanks. It was, arguably, an even better find than the top hat.

I was in a black tie wedding and our tuxes were done by Cesar Renuan (friend of the groom). Price was well under the $700 and the fit and styling were perfect!

I don't want to beat a dead horse but if people insist on a long tie, then why bother with a black tie rig at all? Why the aversion to the bow tie?

Indeed!

It's new and scary.

Is $1,300 high for a tuxedo? I only plan on wearing the tux 3-4 times next year.

It depends on what you normally spend on a suit, IMO. If $1,300 is something you are happy to spend on a suit, I think that's about the right range for a tuxedo. My view is that even though you probably will wear the tuxedo less often, you are more likely to do so at events where you want to look your best and it is thus not wise to skimp. If you plan to wear a waistcoat rather than a cummerbund, you may end up spending a little more.

If that is affordable, it comes down to a question of quality. Remember that wearing it only a few times per year means more years of wear. Get classic styling, and you will look good, and timeless, for as many years as you want ( or fit in it). Is this OTR or MTM? If MTM, maybe ask for a little more grace to be left in the seams, in case you get bigger around over the years.

You can get a tuxedo for less money at http://www.tailor4less.com/en/men/custom-tuxedos/configure

I've read a fairly crumby review of their work, on black tie blog, but a pretty decent review of the black lapel. Not my personal experience, but I did consider tailor4less for my wedding attire, but decided their prices were so low, I was skeptical of the quality. If course, that means I have no experience with them, personally. I ended up getting my tux, and morning coat, vintage from a combination of online, and bricks and mortar, retailers.

It will be for another occasion.
I know I am not too impartial, but look how it looks a dinner jacket:
