Tuxedo Advice

With university rearing its ugly head once more, I’m considering my options for my formals. They’re black tie and last year I simply borrowed my Dad’s tux. Wanting my own this year. Trying to decide what style/cut. I’m 6’1, slender. Generally I prefer double breasted as I feel it accentuates my figure more but unsure if it’s better just to go traditional. Likely buying from ebay/depop etc. Thoughts?

Too skinny?

These are Levi’s XX tapered cords. The fit feels a little…dated? I think they’re more slim then skinny, but just looking for overall feedback on how they look. I’m probably overthinking it. Excuse my toilet....

What's going on with the lapel on this jacket?

I think there's a button on the back of the notch lapel on the other side, corresponding to this button flap. Is there a name for this flap style lapel? I can't find another example of it. What does it evoke to you? It seems super casual, but does it seem gimmicky or overly weird or dated to a specific era or anything?

ID on Vintage Shirt Maker

Hi, I found this very cool, very soft, probably very old t-shirt but cannot distinguish the maker from the tag. Google Glass is inconclusive, and while I can make out the red script saying "Best Quality", I cannot read ot recognize the logo other than its similarity to Chevrolet. Any ideas, so I can try to source more?

How we feelin about this one fellas? (Flight jacket yay or nays)

I picked up this G-1 avirex jacket on a whim, mostly cause it was pretty cheap, but now I'm trying it on I'm really not sure if I'm feeling it. Not sure if it's too big, just not my style, or if it just veers a bit close to top gun cosplay. Thoughts appreciated!

Does this look like an orphaned suit jacket?

I'm having buyers remorse, it fit me quite well but I think the notched lapels and the pockets are giving off an orphaned suit jacket feel. What do you think? Will it pair with chinos at all or is it too formal?

Does this polo-shirt fit?

Hi I would like some advice, I found this polo on sale and it’s a model I really like (only in this size or smaller) with a more shirt style collar. I have put on a bit of weight and I’m not so sure of my size anymore. Will this just make me look fat? Is it better to skip?...

regular hem or chainstitch?

Ordered these sears carpenters I've been eyeing on eBay. What's the advantage of a chain stitch hem and should I do it instead of having my regular tailor hem them?

I have a lot of khaki chino pants and I have also a khaki trenchcoat. Is it possible to wear these together without it being too much khaki?

wedding wear recommendations

Hey guys - looking for your help. I’ve never been one that’s very fashion savvy and since COVID I’ve worked from home and not really updated anything. I’m going to a wedding at the end of the month with my fiancée and I’ll be meeting a bunch of her friends on that side of the country for the first time. It’s her friends wedding, and she’s in it. I want to make a good impression not only on them, but on my fiance as well. I haven’t really been “dressed up” for her because I don’t know what I’m doing. The wedding is black and white themed, semi-formal/casual is allowed and preferred at the wedding. I don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb, but I don’t want to just do a white shirt and black slacks either....

How would yall style this?

Male, 5ft 8in, skinny if that helps at all!
