First off congrats.

Personally, I don’t care for the 2nd suit. The pattern of the fabric is a bit much. The first is much nicer.

If you ask me, and perhaps you’re not but I’ll say it anyway, forget the waistcoat and braces. Too many bells and whistles. A white shirt, silver wedding tie and a white linen or cotton pocket square and you’re good. You’ll have no regrets looking back 20 years later and wondering why you tried to force an outfit like that.

 

Thank you. I was thinking the braces because they would still make me stand out when my jacket is off as it will be late July and it’s an outdoor wedding.

 

Even if you want the brace, you probably should go with white ones with the white shirt. However, if the trousers have belt loops, it is wise not to go with braces with belt loops, or just remove the loops all-together.

The pattern on the second suit is good at fun activity, but it is not very good for your own wedding.

One last thing, since you are in the 40R with 5'11" built, and this jacket comes at 29" for 40R, you should pay attention to whether this jacket will look short on you. It will probably be ok but it is something to check first.

And congratulation.

Thanks mate. As I'm Canadian and my fiancée is is from the UK, I opted to make the braces the fun part of my attire by paying tribute to her English side of the family with the special edition London Skyline braces which would show when we are on the dance floor.

 

My biggest concern is the length. I suspect 29 inches is about 1 1/2 inches too short. That's alright - thirty years from now you can look at the pictures and say something like - "can you believe how short that jacket was?" Kind of like looking at the mid 70s and wondering how wide can a lapel actually be?

 

I'll keep that in mind. Seems the Canali 1934 14000 series is 29.75. Is the 14000 still slim fit? Your thoughts on the braces?

 

I like braces - I never wear them except with my tuxedo but I like them! Indeed, I have a few pairs of trousers with side tabs and I need to get around to getting buttons for braces sewn in. The tabs are decent for holding the trousers but not as good as a belt. And for dancing braces are wonderful - they will keep your trousers up.

Don't know anything about the 14000. And it's hard to go wrong with Canali. I only have maybe one piece at present but they make a very nice garment at a decent price point.

Congratulations.
I agree with SG_67

 

Yup, what SG_67 said. However, I like braces too. Hardly ever wear them, but I do like them.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I think the Albert Thurstin London Skyline braves will make my English father in law smile.

 

...and that alone is probably worth the price.
