    Tux Shirt Problem

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Who here enjoys donning the old tux, or perhaps the occasional white tie and tails? I know I do, and I'm not ashamed to show it off! At any rate, as much as I enjoy my tux, I'm having a slight problem with my wing collar shirt, which I think is the only way to wear a tux...

    Where did your user name come from??

    I am a United States Merchant Mariner and I guess I could be considered "vintage" because I like old clothes, old ships, old cars, and I pine for the days when people like me were needed to keep food on Britain's tables.

    MY LORD IT'S HOT (Summer attire questions)

    Summer whites! A perennial favorite! Grab a nice cotton three piece suit in off white, cream, or searsucker, some nice white or pastel-colored shirts, some dashing pastel-colored ties (also good to have on hand for easter) and you're good to go! At the same time grab a straw fedora for all the...

    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    Can We Please Talk About "Foyle's War"? Has anyone ever seen this show? D.C.S. Foyle has some DAMN fine suits, damn fine. The only thing I object to is how little he seems to take off his over-coat, especially while he's out on a case. You infrequently get a really good look at his whole...

    Formal Wear Primer

    Wow, talk about low hanging waistcoats! Some of them have a good few inches going there! They should really be embarrassed. It's a damn shame the American public doesn't know the difference, otherwise those clowns would have very rightfully been red-faced!

    Theater Evening Attire

    The show isn't until after Thanksgiving, I'm just getting my ducks in a row. It's not as far off as one might think!

    Formal Wear Primer

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get a "full backed" waistcoat these days? I've only ever seen them backless unless the article in question is in fact an antique itself. I'm sure if you go to the most expensive of tailors or suit makers you could get anything you wanted but does anyone...

    Theater Evening Attire

    ChanteuseCarey, I have to thank you for your post, very informative and entertaining. I do have to say however, what prompted me to start this thread is that I suggested to the young lady in question that perhaps black-tie dress-code for this particular evening would not be uncalled for...

    Theater Evening Attire

    Going to see Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker with a very pretty young lass. Going to make a night of it, dinner at a nice restaurant, maybe a nice hotel room in the city so we don't have to commute home late at night, the whole nine yards. Is such an event tux-worthy, or is that "over dressed"? I'm...

    Tuxedo Night in Enchanting San Juan

    My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I seek an obscure bit of advice. Seeking advice is always made more difficult when it's so specific but in my case I'm afraid it's unavoidable. The rub is this: I am currently making plans to spend the new year holiday with a rather attractive young female...
