Very nice work, Sproily!
And thanks to all for the feedback. I picked up a one button peak lapel tux, and I've read that before black tie was given its own accessories, one could wear a full dress shirt and white tie studs... I may have interpreted this incorrectly, though. I'm not sure if this is in fact a faux pas, especially since the tux dates to the 40's, after the turn down collar was popularized. The one button peak lapel, I take it, is the most formal of black tie, does this mean white tie studs and a full dress shirt can work?
The set also came with a waistcoat, I'll get a picture up tomorrow now that I have Photobucket; but it's a shawl lapel, SB, belted full back, and patterned vest. It's low cut, and definitely not modern, but I'm not sure that it came with, or can be worn with, the other two pieces... And there are three self-faced buttons. I'm guessing this is not correct to wear, especially if I do wear a full dress shirt?
Thanks again for the input.
