What kind of shirt with tuxedo?

odoreater · Jul 17, 2007

Haha, good old Sator - never disappoints.

I like the hidden button plain front shirt because it means I won't have to wear studs. But, I also like the "fanciness" (for lack of a better term) of the pleated front shirt. I'm not sure if a plain white shirt with hidden buttons is festive enough. It works for playing poker and killing bad guys, but I'm not sure if it works for a wedding.

I personally like studs. I also like vests though. Personally, I would wear a vest.

Odor, this is YOUR wedding? I respectfully suggest you attire yourself accordingly, so that in 20 years when you look back at the pictures, you have no regrets.

Classic styles will always remain classic.

With the Peak lapel, a winged-collar shirt like the Golden Fleece version at BB website is most correct.

Please wear either a cummerbund or a vest; don't leave your waist uncovered. The waist-band trimming that some tuxedo pants have does not count.

It should be cut like this:

Either white or black. Brooks should have both colors in stock.

Manton beat me to it. I personally like white, because the contrast is absolutely amazing (whereas black blends in too much).

Hmm, I kind of like that white vest look. See, that's why I come here to seek counsel on these things.

Does anybody else make a good vest other than Brooks (don't see it on their website) - or is it the kind of thing I should get made bespoke?

Manton · Jul 17, 2007

BB is the only US supplier I know of. Some Brits must carry one (I know Hackett does).

I don't know what your tailor charges you for a bespoke vest. For something that I would not wear too often, I would be pretty price sensetive.

odoreater · Jul 17, 2007

Yeah, good point. I'll keep my eyes open to see if I see anything. I guess lee is right, it is my wedding and I should go all out.

Manton wrote a fantastic guide regarding white and black tie dress, perhaps he can bed kind enough to provide you with the URL, it should help you when deciding what to wear and how to pair items together.

Narrow swiss pleating would also look very sharp.

I am not a fan of fly fronts on formal shirts. That is because I have several antique sets.

what time of the year and day is the wedding?

Carl, what would a shirt like that cost from CEGO?

Can/should a vest be worn with a shawl lapel jacket?
