I have four tuxedos and three dinner jackets. They go from notched, peaked to shawl collars. I always wear them with a wing collar and waistcoat. I would love to tell you all, that having so many dinner suits, I get to wear them very often. Alas this is not the case. But when the occasion warrants it, I'm ready. I also think in the long run, one saves money buying a tuxedo rather than renting one. I was always puzzled why the bride will spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a wedding gown while the groom rents his ensemble. Go for it. If nothing else, they are still classy and classic, and look great in one's closet.
