Mr. Fondue’s Fashion Show, Part 1: Button Number

October 13th, 2008 @ 10:27 am by Ms Fondue

Mr. Fondue insisted that he needed to go tuxedo shopping without me. He said that I rush him when he shops, and he wanted to take his time to find the perfect tux. I agreed, but only on the condition that he would take the camera with him.

So one afternoon, he headed out to a local tux shop called Street Tuxedo. They have three locations in the area, so he chose the closest one. The goal for the first trip was to get a basic idea of what he wanted.

He tried on a couple jackets to try to figure out if he liked two-button or three-button coats better, as witnessed by these MySpace-esque photos.

Leaning toward the three-button, he then took a couple pictures of coat styles that he likes: a notched lapel with no ribbons or stripes. He liked the material of the grey tux.

Street Tuxedo gives a free groom’s tux when you rent five or more other tuxes. With eight best men, we definitely have that covered. We thought we might pick a cheaper option for them and a more luxurious option for Mr. Fondue, but all in the three-button style.What style jacket did you choose for your tuxedos?

Street’s is one of the better tuxedo stores in Nashville, and the famliy that runs the stores are just so sweet. And since they are famliy owned they can work with people a lot better than the major tux stores who have why too many rules.

@Kate: It’s Chaps Ralph Lauren in the Barrington style, I believe.

@kristy: We’ve been impressed with them so far!

we also used Street Tuxedo and were VERY pleased with the tuxes we chose, as well as the level of service before, during and after the wedding. They are fabulous!
