Suited Up

It was slightly harder at first to figure out what G and his groomsmen were going to be wearing, since tuxedos and suits can all be so similar at first glance.  All we know was that we did not want the boys to be in rentals -- they tend to look cheap and a bit ill-fitted, in my opinion.  I cringe every time I pass by Tuxedo Royale or Freeman Formals.

We also sifted through suits at Burberry (his fave, btw), Prada, Neiman Marcus & Barney's (in all of SoCal and Vegas pretty much lol)...but nothing really jumped out for what their price tags were.

And then finally...I found pictures of two amazing suits online:  1) the groomsen's suit, which I couldn't find any designer details on.  And 2) G's tux -- a sexy Prada tuxedo featured in a GQ mag awhile back.  Needless to say, it wasn't available anymore.

So our only solution was to go bespoke :)  for those of you who don't know what "bespoke" means -- very simply, it is a custom-made suit designed and fitted to your exact specifications and measurements.  Different from a made-to-measure (M2M suits are custom-tailored to your measurements, but the design and patterns are generic).

Yes, you'll obviously be paying more than you would be paying for a rental piece, but it's worth it in the long run.  You'll have amazing suits you can keep and wear again, and that will fit you like a glove.   Not to mention a suit that's unique :)  The boys were able to pick out everything from basics like fabrics and buttons, to more refined details like the inside lining and stitching.  Ooh la la.

We finally picked up the suits yesterday, and I can't tell you how excited I am to see them all dapper-ed up!  One really cute touch they had added on was custom embroidery on the inside pocket:

Yes...he chose the moniker G-Money to be forever emblazoned on his wedding tuxedo lol geeze.... 

Khang & Doan chose a more sensible option -- just their first and last names
