Ok, I have this dilema...
I'm putting together vintage white for an event next year. I found a jacket from the 40's that fit me almost perfectly, but it turns out it's midnight blue, which limits my options on trousers. Most of the trousers I have run accross do not have enough rise to fit correctly for white tie. Currently, there are a pair of midnight blue trousers on eBay that have enough rise, but they are about 3" too big in the waist. Should I take a chance and have them altered or give up and see if Magnoli can match my jacket?
I may have been better off building from scratch, but the search is half the fun.
