See how the experts do it.
I’m Ted Poulos with Sarno & Son Tuxedo and today I’m going to show you how to
choose a tuxedo for your wedding. The look that we’re going to be showing you right
now is the ultra formal look for an evening wedding, a wedding that takes place after
4:00 o’clock P.M. Brian, my model is wearing the full dress black tails. Whenever the
imitation is accented by the words full dress black tails or white tie, this is the look that
should be achieved.
It’s a black tail jacket and has sic buttons on the placket, the placket stays open in the
front. It doesn’t button. It should stay about an inch to two inches open in the front as you
see it does. The shirt that Brian is wearing is a white PK shirt. PK because of the
pronounced pattern in the front placket of the shirt. The vest is a white PK vest. The bow
tie that Brian is wearing is a white PK bow tie and you could see the PK shirt is a wing
colored shirt.
The jewelry, white simulated pearl or white pearl if you have it, studs for the front of the
shirt and cufflinks for the sleeve of the shirt. The jacket in the back is a single pleat open-
vent jacket in the back. It hangs down a little bit to the calf line of the customer. The
pocket square is a white silk pocket square in the front. Again ultra formal attires worn
after 4:00 o’clock P.M. is for an ultra formal wedding.
And to put it in perspective, all tuxedos are formal. Whenever you elevate it to the ultra
formal stance, the wedding party usually has at least 300 attendants, the wedding is
taking place again after 4:00 o’clock P.M. The invitation usually denotes that the
attendance, the guest of the wedding should also wear a tuxedo. So you have a very ultra
formal ambience and atmosphere of the wedding.
Now I have my next model Dominic. Today the fashion has elevated to another degree.
This is also an ultra formal look for wedding after 4:00 o’clock P.M. This is the fashion
look of the traditional black tails that you just saw Brian in. Dominic is wearing the white
tail jacket, the exact same features as a full dress black tails. Open in the front six-button
on the plackets. Dominic is wearing the white satin vest, the white wing color shirt with a
quarter inch pleat as opposed to the PK shirt. White pearl studs, white cufflinks and the
back of the jacket has the same features.
It’s a double-pleat, single-vent jacket in the back comes down to the calf and it’s the
fashion look for an ultra formal wedding after 4:00 o’clock P.M. That is the look of the
ultra formal evening attire and next we’re going to show you the traditional formal attire.
