Pics MTM Action Back Jacket: please give your opinion
Before I even saw the belt in the back, I thought the coat's waist was too high. The middle button on a 3-button coat should be at the jacket's waist, and the coat's waist should be very close to your own natural waist. I'd say that middle button is a good 2-3 inches above your natural waist... -

Tuxedo Rental
Well, I wouldn't discount the BB clerk's advice too quickly. The standard accessory with a single-breasted tuxedo is either a black waistcoat or a black cummerbund. A white waistcoat is acceptable for wear with a tuxedo, and indeed it's quite a nice look when paired with a tuxedo and... -

I'm much the same size as BellyTank. 6'0", 190 lbs., with a BMI that is on the upper edge of the "normal" range. My chest is 42", and while most of my trousers are 35-36" in the waist, a really high-waisted pair that sat on the largest part of my stomach would have to be 38-40". -
