Steppin' out...

[Orgetorix]

...in my top hat, and my white tie, and my tails...

Yesterday I was an attendant in the wedding of a friend, and to my delight we wore white tie. I found a '60s vintage Hickey-Freeman dress suit in a local vintage store, and cobbled together the rest of the outfit via Ebay and other various web stores.

Suit, shirt, studs, hat, and shoes are all vintage. Collar and bowtie are new, and the waistcoat is ex-rental from a local shop.

This photo was taken at the end of a long night. My stiff-bosomed shirt had begun to wilt, and my tie was riding up a bit.

Stylin', man. You could sing and dance with Fred A. any day of the week and feel confident the whole time.

Fantastic, O! It was a long (and, I know, fun) process, but you got it pulled together. :eusa_clap

 

[DerMann]

Congrats old boy, you know have the ultimate clothes for formal dress!

Just out of curiosity, I remember you PMed me about the stiff fronted shirt a while back. Obviously it turned out well, but care to disclose the source?

There isn't quite like stepping out for an evening in top hat, white tie, and tails. Once again, congratulations, you pulled it off marvelously.

 

[Orgetorix]

Thanks, all. It was the most fun I've had in a while.

DM, the shirt is a vintage one that I picked up on Ebay. New ones were just too expensive for my budget. The collar is the Grafton from Ede & Ravenscroft.

Picture perfect.

Tres tres cool. Did you at any time during the evening get an overwhelming desire to tap dance?

 

[Slim Portly]

Excellent.

:eusa_clap Why don't I have friends going for a white tie wedding?

 

[ArrowCollarMan]

Pretty spiffy.
Where'd you get the collar?

It's a Luke Eyres collar that I purchased from Ede & Ravenscroft.
