I think for the price the tux looks good. I agree that the sleeves do need shortened for AngelicBond, but most of the people I see wearing suits have the same issue. Other than that nitpicking I think it looks good.
I decided to purchase after reading reviews of purchasers from THIS site. I can't justify paying more than I'd be paying for the jbsuits tux. I can't find one to rent. Can get kinda close. But, I'm willing to roll the dice. You only live once....I mean twice.
I knew Matt had some points about JB suits. I hope it works out for you I really do, may be obvious but if you have one make the payment with a credit card, so you're protected. good luck and I best wishes for your nuptials.
I received it a few days ago and have some pre tailor pics to share thanks to forum member DUBL_OH. These pics are of the shirt and jacket only. The shirt, shoes, etc I don't have yet so I used some I already had.
Less than two weeks until the wedding. It's starting to come together. Just waiting on the shirt to arrive in the mail. Hoping to have pics of the completed tux soon.
Here's a more complete preview. The jacket is at the tailor. Suspenders are a little wonky due to a button failure. The bow tie doesn't look right. I'm still learning. It needs to be tighter so it's more bow shaped than square. I'm open to suggestions. A week away.
Just keep tightening the knot by pulling at both ends, straightening it and tightening it again. You will get the hang of it, don't worry. I always use the very cheesy "parrot, fish, elephant" method. For me that works, I can now tie a bow tie without a mirros.
The pictures posted above are from after the ceremony. I had the gun in my suitcase to take to the hotel (never leave home without it) I didn't wear it during because it would have shown too much. I need to post a run down of the tux of all the items I used.
