I'm getting married next year, and am looking at doing a MTM navy (not blue) peak or shawl lapel tuxedo. The last major detail I need to decide before ordering it is what color of satin to put on the lapels. I've seen that a lot of navy tuxedos have black satin or grosgrain lapels- it seems to...

Hello gents, I've been shopping online recently for a black bowtie with some texture to it (i.e. not solid satin) and came across some great faille bow ties by robert talbott. However it is sold in two models, a one piece (with size adjustment) and two piece. Here is a picture of the 'two...

I know that in continental Europe a blazer and a pair of flannel trousers are seen as elegant clothing for a formal dinner which doesn't require Black Tie or anything higher. The same would probably be true in the United States. However, when is it acceptable to wear a gold button marine single...

Hello all -- I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster. In about six months' time, the U.S. Government will assign me somewhere abroad as a representative of this fine nation. I'm not sure where yet, but regardless it will almost certainly involve attending black-tie events, or even...
