\"\"Dressing the Groom is Just as Important to the Wedding as Dressing the Bride!<\/h3>\n

For over 80 years we have dressed thousands of Grooms for their Special Day! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We’d like to share Answers to <\/strong><\/em>Frequently Asked Questions about the Grooms Attire.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the types of Tuxedo Lapels?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Notch <\/strong>A triangular indentation is cut where the lapel joins the collar.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"The Shawl <\/strong>A smooth, round edge lapel shape.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Peak <\/strong>A broad V-shaped lapel that points up and out below the color line.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How many buttons should be buttoned?
\n<\/strong><\/em>If you’re wearing a one button style, you should button the one button. If you are wearing a two button style, leave the bottom button undone.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

How should the shoulders fit?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThis is one of the most important tailoring rules. The ideal width of a suit jacket extends the natural shoulder line to balance with the hips.<\/em><\/p>\n

What should the sleeve length be?<\/em><\/strong>
\nThe hem of your sleeves should fall at the wrist bone, allowing one-fourth inch to one half-inch of the shirt cuff to be visible.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does a proper jacket fit look like?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe vent in the back of the jacket should not be open. If it does, the jacket is too tight.<\/em><\/p>\n

How should your trousers fit?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe edge of your trousers should hit the top of your heal and brush the tops of your shoes. A small break in your trousers will allow for a timeless, yet modern look. Trousers are meant to sit at the waist. There should been enough room at the hip and thigh so you are comfortable when sitting or standing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do the wing tips of the shirt extend above or behind a bow tie?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe tips or flaps on a wing collar shirt should sit BEHIND your bow tie; not on top of it.<\/em><\/p>\n
