Hey everyone. First post.

My nuptial mass is happening at 10am and the reception is going to be at an old mansion from 1pm-6pm. I purchased a vintage stroller because I couldn’t wear a classic tux. I tend to like traditional/classic menswear. It fits great and I’m very happy with it. It is SB with a DB dove grey waistcoat.

I’m toying with the idea of having my groomsmen in strollers also. These are some ideas. Please keep in mind I have already located trousers. I must still locate silver and grey striped ties. I’m having an extraordinarily difficult time finding a fairly priced SB black jacket with peak lapels. My alternatives are as follows:

1. Find double breasted peak lapel black suit jackets.
2. Ask my groomsmen to buy SB jackets from Clermont direct even though they are notch lapel much to my chagrin (Clermont is probably where I’m going to get the pants from) http://www.clermontdirect.com/freemasons-black-herringbone-wool-jacket-p-145.html
3. See what black suit jackets they may already own and simply ask them to buy the pants from Clermont Direct

note that in all SB scenarios, the groomsmen would be buying sand colored DB waistcoats also from Clermont direct.

the last alternative is to have them get charcoal grey three piece suits with a black and silver striped tie just like the stroller would take.
I also would like some suggestions on the tie front if anyone has anything in mind that would fit the bill.

Thanks for reading.
