I have recently been invited to a friend's wedding in a few months' time.
I expect most guests to be wearing a suit during the day and a DJ at night, but my friend will be wearing a bespoke white tie at night (and possibly a morning suit during the day). Now, this could be just the excuse I needed to finally get my own (he hinted he would appreciate the gesture)...
What would your advice be on where to get it? Now, this is an item I would probably wear 2, maybe 3 times in my whole life (my future own wedding included ?). I woud like to get a nice one, but sadly, my finances do not permit me to contemplate going to one of the top tailors... Even I cannot be as unreasonable as that. I remember seeing RTW morning suits at Hackett, but I have never seen a white tie anywhere, except on the web (http://www.eveningsuit.co.uk/catalog...ts.php?cID=1_2).
