Hi all,
I have a midnight blue shawl collar tux and I'm trying to put together the shirt. Does the shirt need to have a bib?
I'm thinking of going mtm with a pique fabric, (is anything with a small textured check or diamond fabric considered pique? or is only pique, pique...?) Does it need to be semi stiff? Or can it be soft? (seriously..)
I'd like to have the shirt have a turndown collar, all over pique fabric, no bib, with a fly front. Will be wearing a black bow tie. Will the formality of the pique fabric clash with the informality of no bib? Am I totally over-thinking it?
I can add the bib, it's just a hassle I don't trust the mtm company to get right. Plus, I don't want to hassle with starching the bib, having the bib be too long so it billows out when I sit down, etc etc. What say you, oh satorial gods?
