      There is no era for timeless and classical mens fashion. The dinner jacket/tuxedo is as refined as when Henry Poole & Co. created it decades ago.

      Well said, I agree. Although, there are many different variations now that I just don't relate to. Sneakers with a suit/tuxedo etc. Classic is always the way to go, just in my opinion.

    John looks very nice, but he needs a cummerbund and patent oxfords, he is wearing derbies. If those are buttons, they need to be covered up with a fly front. Also the jacket must be ventless or side vented if you put your hands on your pockets a lot.

    i got myself vintage chester barrie tuxedo, same people who made Ralph Lauren Purple Label suits for a very cheap price, something like 130 quid with a perfect fit.
    Paid 27 quid for overcalf silk dress socks
    Paid 350 for pleated dress shirt, proper pleats made in England and for a matching bow tie and cummerband for my tuxedo. lapel facings are grosgrain, so grosgrain accessories.
    Paid 95 for silk moire white braces. Moire a very similar pattern to grosgrain.
    Paid 200 for my black oxford wholecuts.
    So overall my outfit I paid for is £800. But the suit was the biggest bargain, usually they sell for £1300- 2000£

    Anyone can look good and present themselves as a gentleman or a lady but it is at home, alone where you can see if a person is in fact a lady or a gentleman. As they are alone it is hard but a few situations can happen. For example, an apartment fire alarm going of during the night. Now that is a perfect place to see, when any given person is a lady gentleman

    Sorry..! The Tuxedo goes back to before the rat pack! It was designed as "informal court dress" for a private party/gathering for the Prince of Wales by his tailor Henry Poole & Co of Savile Row. There were some Americans at the party, who were told to get informal court dress made at Poole's and they really liked it, they took it back to America and wore it at their club: the Tuxedo Park club in New York. Other members copied the suit and the name stuck... The rest, the rack pack etc, is a footnote in the story... I find it interesting that was is considered formal dress today is actually informal court dress of its day!

      @krollic 7 років тому +2

      single vent is a lot more of a classic style which doesn't go amiss with something like a tuxedo though I do agree the double vent tends to be more flattering, more comfortable, modern and better aerated

      The type of vent is best fitting with regards to how your buttocks is. One with a larger butt will benefit more (with regards to flattery, lookswise of course) from a double vent, otherwise, single vent or double will do perfectly fine.

    Tips from me... a tailor. Never wear a watch with any sort of tuxedo, white tie or morning wear. It is a disrespectful sign as it makes other people around you feel like you have something better to do other than be at that place and time. Just leave the watch home.
