    What's wrong with my MTM suit jacket?

    OK, enough doom and gloom. Clearly you do not want to wear a traditional black tuxedo, you want to wear this one that you had custom made to match your wedding party.

    I really don’t like ordering clothes without trying them on. So Bills is out for me, since I don’t have a way to try them on. I have bought chinos at three places in the last couple years, after trying on to check style and fit. All of them 100% cotton. All have 34” inseam (or unhemmed to...

    Wedding party in New Orleans - weather and season?

    Going to New Orleans soon, a week or so. Been a long time. What season is appropriate? Here in New England I would wear a dark suit or a tweed jacket. But pretty sure tweed at least not appropriate. Anyone down there? What IS appropriate?
