Hello all,
I've been wanting a tuxedo for years, and I have a few formal events coming up, so now would be a good time. I'm looking for something ultra-traditional: 1 button, peak lapel, no vents, pleated trousers, grosgrain facing, matching low-cut waistcoat with lapels... you get the idea.
Is there anywhere I can get something like this without going custom? Brooks Brothers at least has a one button peak lapel, but I don't care much for their waistcoat, and at $1600 for the tux, I was hoping to do a bit better than that. I would love to go to Mr. Field in Georgetown, DC, but I would be looking at at least $3400-$3500, and I'm not quite prepared for that.
Thank you for any advice you can give me. Oh, and I'm a 38R if that makes any difference.
