Thread: Black Tie Input

Have several Black-Tie events coming up this fall. Unfortunately none of the 4 pieces of formal wear I own fit me any more. (Way too big thankfully). I have a Traditional 2 button Tux, Double Breasted Tux, Velvet (jacket) 2 Button Tux and a Shawl Collar Tux.

I'm looking to get just 1 now to replace. I'm leaning towards a tradional 2 Button, but am also contemplating doing the velvet instead.

I'm pretty traditional when it comes to formal wear, I like a ticket pocket, double rear vents, no belt loops (as I always wear braces with a tux). I do however like a little spin on things to make it unique, without losing the traditonal look.

I also prefer a non-bibbed shirt, that requires a stud set with a traditonal spreak collar vs a tuxedo winged tip collar. I dont wear a cummerbund or vest, and always a black bow tie.

Does anyone have nay suggestions for the new get up or any photos of what you wear/like?

I will be wearing it to 2 weddings, 2 charity events and the opening of SF Symphony, and then whatever else comes up...

Appreciate your input!

try TM Lewin, it has no belt loots (sliders), reasonably priced.. see for yourself

Mayfair Black Evening Suit Jacket - Men's Suits & Tailoring - Men - T.M.Lewin Shirtmakers

However, more upmarket you could try D&G, they do a velvet style one.
