The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
True enough, but there's no hard rule that you can't use your black tie gear for non black tie affairs. If you own it, might as well put it to use and have some fun.- Mute

The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
There's no hard rule against covered placket, though I personally prefer seeing the studs. Best practice for the tie and cumberbund is to match the fabric of your lapels. Sizing is more a matter of preference though too small or large could look less than idea. You'll have to experiment a bit...- Mute

Practicality of a cotton suit?
Completely agree. I personally prefer a cotton/linen mix over 100% cotton. A tropical weight wool is also a great hot clime choice.- Mute

No. On a new suit, it should never come with the sleeves finished so that your tailor can properly finish it off to your measurements. iSuit is a reliable and legitimate seller. I would never buy a suit with working sleeve holes already in place unless I know the sleeve measurements are...- Mute

Having had shirts made by Proper Cloth and a custom shirtmaker (Freddy Vandercasteele), the main difference you'll notice will be in the stitching and the fit of certain parts of the shirt, mainly collar, cuffs and the shoulder. You can get a very good fit with Proper after making the necessary...- Mute

Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread
Shoulders could be narrowed. Before any other adjustments wash the shirt first. There may be some shrinkage. After that, then make your adjustments. You're fairly close already.- Mute

Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread
Do you feel any pulling or tightness through the sleeves or only the back and shoulders? If it's the latter maybe consider adding back pleats.- Mute

Looking to purchase a tuxedo
That being the case, Paul Stuart and Ralph Lauren have some very nice and classic dinner suits. I would stick with peak or shawl lapel as those are more in line with tradtional black tie. Make sure you get a good shirt (marcella bib or pleated is your choice) with french cuffs. You'll also...- Mute
