Question:
I am tall and lean-What are my tuxedo options?
Answer:
You will look wonderful in any of the tuxedos we offer! The classic single breasted tuxedo as well as the double-breasted tuxedo will fit you nicely. The double-breasted tuxedo will enhance your upper body and give you that "V" shape look. The double breasted tuxedo jacket should always be worn buttoned. The single-breasted jacket can be worn either buttoned or open. Make sure that the arm length on the jacket and pants length are long enough to give you a sleek appearance.

Question:
What tuxedo looks best on a tall and muscular person?
Answer:
The classic single-breasted tuxedo will do wonders for your appearance. The double-breasted tuxedo is not recommended for your body type as it gives a broadening affect in the chest area. A vest instead of a cummerbund is also recommended drawing the eye to your upper body and less emphasis on your waist. The black tuxedo has a slimming effect, which as most women swear by is certain to enhance your look.

Question:
What outfit looks best on a short and slender build?
Answer:
The classic single-breasted tuxedo jacket is for you! Wear this jacket with classic well-fitted tuxedo trousers, and you are on your way. The combination will accent your body and give you a nice clean appearance. A double breasted jacket tends to give you a bulkier appearance. According to our tuxedo coordinator this is a fashion faux pas. A well-designed pair of cufflinks and studs will add a sophisticated dimension to your look.

Question:
What should I tell my tailor?
Answer:
The jacket should have a nice relaxed fit across the shoulders which will give you the perfect appearance. Most styles should be long enough to brush the insides of your fingers when your hand is cupped around the bottom. The sleeves should lay just below your wrist bone. We recommend this "long look" as opposed to a shorter sleeve length. Your trousers should be worn neatly around the waist. A little loose is better than tight. Some people prefer a break at the shoe. We prefer the pants with no break at the shoe top.

Question:
Cotton shirts vs Poly/Cotton shirts?
Answer:
This is really a matter of quality/cost/economics. A 100% cotton tuxedo shirt looks and feels great. This shirt needs to be professionally dry-cleaned. The poly/cotton blend is a little less expensive and is machine washable. If you are in a business where you are consistantly wearing your tuxedo the poly/cotton may offer a better value proposition.

Question:
I really like my present tuxedo. It is a classic black single-breasted style. What can I do to give it a "new" look and make me feel good each time I put it on?
Answer:
Everyone understands the feeling of wearing a new garment for the first time. If your tuxedo is in good condition and is tailored correctly, there is no reason to buy a new one. You can buy new accessories (in various colors/patterns) such as a vest, bow tie and cummerbund, new shoes, and (or) cufflinks. A little change will give you that good feeling once again. No reason to spend a lot of money to vary your style.
