Date: April 25th, 2018 1:38 PM Author: Marvelous Native Roommate Looks like a pre-tied bowtie
Looks like a 2 button jacket
Shoes look like the are possibly regular leather and not patent
Very likely not a detachable wing collar (and at this point turndown collars are more appropriate anyway) |
|
Date: April 25th, 2018 1:53 PM Author: electric citrine haunted graveyard menage ljl good call on 2 button jacket. u think he rented this from men's warehouse?
what makes u think it's a pre-tied bowtie? it probably is -- it goes along with everything else he's wearing. but i cant tell.
why are turndown collars more appropriate? i have one but i thought wings are okay too. |
|
Date: April 25th, 2018 1:57 PM Author: Marvelous Native Roommate the bow tie knot looks too tight and it looks generally too symmetrical to not be pre-tied
it's not that wing collars aren't appropriate per say -- it's that people do them incorrectly by not wearing the proper detached wing collars. also, a wing collar is the height of formality in black tie since it's borrowed from white tie and thus the rest of the outfit should follow suit (peak lapel, single button, ideally grosgrain, vest (and ideally a white pique vest) over cummerbund, etc.). |

|
Date: April 25th, 2018 3:02 PM Author: cerise abode There is nothing wrong with having two buttons on a tux, but agreed re: the pockets. Tuxes should have welt pockets. His may be convertible, but he has the flaps hanging out like an idiot.
He's also not wearing patent leather shoes.
Wing collar is lame but at least traditional.
His stud set looks like the free one that comes with a rental tux. Not befitting of the 2nd most powerful man in the US. |

|
Date: April 25th, 2018 3:09 PM Author: cerise abode No. I own a bespoke tux and spent days researching and working with a tailor. 3 is definitely wrong, but there is nothing wrong with 2.
The satin lapel and pant stripe are the obvious distinction from a normal suit, though of course there are modern designers who try to break the rules. Not the number of buttons.
Interestingly I could not find any precedent for whether to get working cuffs. Though I couldn't imagine a situation where I would leave one unbuttoned, I ultimately decided to go for it because why not.

|
Date: April 25th, 2018 3:40 PM Author: Marvelous Native Roommate it's not correct. the point of a tux is to be distinguished from more functional suits. you would never need to use the function so it shouldn't be there. same with a single vent (which is needed when riding a horse or shooting a shotgun) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959156&forum_id=2#35918728) |

Date: April 25th, 2018 3:43 PM Author: cerise abode I don't disagree, but I thought it would be interesting to have, and you can't notice it anyway unless I purposefully undo one of the button. It's one of those thing menswear nerds would notice, which is why I thought it was neat. It's not like I got it stitched in an alternate color or something.

Date: April 25th, 2018 3:49 PM Author: cerise abode again, you would only notice if I chose to wear it wrong, and unless you are a retard you would know it was a deliberate choice because an off the rack tux would never come like that, and you would be jelly b/c you seemingly don't have a bespoke or MTM tux (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959156&forum_id=2#35918838) |

Date: April 25th, 2018 3:41 PM Author: cerise abode I couldn't find any precedent on this. Given that the original purpose supposedly was so that military surgeons could roll up their sleeves, it didn't seem fitting on a dinner jacket. But I went for it anyway as I thought it showed more attention to detail. I certainly wouldn't have paid extra for it. And it is not noticeable unless you undo the buttons, so I figured no downside.

for example you typically will use a cummerbund with a shawl lapel. and a shawl lapel is the better choice for a white dinner jacket. |
