You should have bid on it - there's enough material to let the waist out.

Love that shot! :eusa_clapForgotten Man said:And here's a photo of me in my tails dated 1948 however, they look earlier then that:
I have a Black Tux with crystal cufflinks and studds. I wear it to various events throught the year. Pic is of my wife and I.Lancealot said:I have been considering picking up a tuxedo for veriuos formal events. I tend to get invited to 2 or 3 through the year that I'd like to get a little more dressed up then a black suit. That got me to wondering who owns a tux and how often do you get to wear it?
I must say, I have the opposite problem. I wear mine so frequently I have had to buy another bow tie as mine wore out and began to fray
_RAGNAR_ said:The belt and loops would only add thickness and bumps where they are not needed. The other is precisely because the pants are supposed to be worn high. Starting with white tie the pants are very high as the waistcoat is not that low, and the front of the waistcoat should be covered by the jacket. To lower all of that would make you look shorter which is not the job of black or white tie. In Black or White tie a man should look his tallest, his thinnest of waist, and his broadest of shoulder. Lowering or thickening the waist in any way does not help accomplish this.

This image really makes you realize what a shock the changes in the 1920's must have been.
