can you give us an idea of budget, style, esp of jacket (single button peak, DB) and also accessories
prefer vest (no mention of that), tie color (basic black, white pique)
the more specific you can be, the better the offers will be
I have access to a wide range, as do many of the other sellers here

My budget is reasonable considering I don't mind paying for quality.

I am interested in single button peak label....I saw a jacket by Dunhill that blew my mind. Trying to base it around that.

White tie or black tie formal wear. I'm leaning to the more classic elegance..nothing too gaudy..

For a good bow tie try Hanauer, for socks Pantherella has some nice formal hose (I have the white pindot, very nice). I would suggest picking up a vintage stud set on ebay where unique quality sets can be found quite inexpensively. I was also able to find an essentially deadstock white silk opera scarf on ebay from a seller in England.

While I agree with this 100%, keep in mind that vintage/antique stud sets tended to be made for vintage/antique formal shirts which had 3 button holes (or sometimes less) as opposed to modern shirts/stud sets which have 4.

Just keep in mind that you need to match your shirt and studs in terms of number.

Thanks for the offers and suggestions. Pm's sent if interested.

I really like the Pantherella socks. They're beautiful. Hanauer's accesories are also quite stunning. Thanks!!
