    Tuxedo Rental

    Really, it's no wonder there is so much confusion about this. I knew that a white waistcoat is perfectly acceptable with a single breasted jacket, but when the clerk at Brooks Brothers said that they are normally worn only with tails, I started to second guess my own knowledge. I mean, if the...

    One last question about tuxes and how they are worn in modern times. I bought my waistcoat from Brooks Brothers over the weekend. The clerk asked me what kind of tux I have, and I told him it is single button, single-breasted. He said that waistcoats are normally worn with tails, but that's...

    DonCarlos, I can tell you without a doubt that you may get some strange looks here and there, but the reaction will be overwhelmingly positive. And yes, women do like a nicely dressed man. Fact is, dressing nicely is not something that most men do these days, so sticking out from the crowd in...

    I mentioned this previously in the thread, but I already have a nice Italian designer tux in my closet. I was stuck on having my groomsmen match, so was thinking about renting. After hearing all the advice, I decided to wear my own tux and have my groomsmen get their own, with some road rules.

    Yes, that is correct. I did mean "in preference to." I would never wear a cummerbund with a waistcoat any more than I would wear a belt with suspenders. I think I'm going to go with the white waistcoat. It's a great classic look. Now I just have to decide on whether to wear a wing collar...

    Waistcoat I have one other question, gents. What are your opinions regarding waistcoats? I kind of like them over cummerbunds, but how necessary are they really? I think I'm definitely going with a white waistcoat with my black tux, but I was wondering what your views might be.

    Looks good to me, except for one thing. Your lapels aren't peaked. They're notched. Just looking out for you, Doh. You wouldn't want anyone laughing at you.

    My wedding is right on the edge of evening, at 5:00pm, so I opted for black tie.

    Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I decided to stick with the tux that I already have. I bought it a couple years ago and it's already altered to fit me. Plus, it has all the features I like, which is why I bought it in the first place. I'm going to tell my groomsmen to get their tuxes wherever...

    Wow, I was lucky to get a new pair of Toughskins from my mom when I was a kid! She would just iron on a patch when they got a hole in them.

    I know what you mean about the bride and bridesmaids spending tons of dough on their dresses. It puzzles me too why it's so expensive. Luckily, my fiancee is a designer and is not only designing and making her wedding dress, but the bridesmaids dresses too. That's saving everyone a lot of cash.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Actually, you've clarified something for me. The answer was in my closet all along. I have a tux that I bought a couple years ago that is exactly the kind of tux I would otherwise rent (single-breasted, peaked lapels, single button, double-besomed pocket)...

    Tuxedo Rental

    I'm getting married in October and I'm wondering if anyone has some good suggestions for a reputable national chain for tuxedo rentals. My preference is to buy one, but since I have four groomsmen, it's more practical to rent as I don't expect everyone to buy. Plus, I want everyone to match...

    Thank you very much for your generous comments, Idledame. I do sell my work. In fact, I was just offered a gallery show here in Los Angeles, so I'm in the process of getting that together. To answer your question on how long the process takes, it all depends on the photograph. It could take...

    Nice work! I love spot color in photographs. Though you can't tell from my HDR work, I'm actually a bit of a purist too when it comes to photography. I use Photoshop very little. HDR is still firmly planted in basic photography principles. Of course, you do need a program to put together all...
