"Formal wear is all about style and elegance. The key is to also incorporate fit and comfort "  - Jeff Collins, Professional Haberdasher

At MyHaberdasher.com we provide both ready-made and custom formal wear.  If you have more than one opportunity to wear a tuxedo in the next few years then purchasing rather than renting can make good sense.  Not to mention, it just never feels right wearing someone else’s tux and a paper thin polyester shirt.

While the company party or an upscale dinner on a cruise can still be occasions to don a tuxedo and heading out to the Oscars would be nice, nowadays the most likely formal event you are going to attend is a fundraiser auction.  Many of these are accompanied by a theme from another part of the world or a time gone by.  Such an event still dictates dawning the tuxedo but allows you the opportunity to have more flare in your shirt, tie or pocket silk.  It is perfectly fine to put on the standard black & white outfit but why not have some fun and wear you tux with a bold tie or a colorful vest.

Let us know if you would like help putting together your next formal outfit or just have questions.
