After not choosing the awesome (but pricey) Barney’s suit…Wolfman and I were walking around the fancy mall after buying our wedding bands (more on that later!) and wandered into Hugo Boss “just to see”…well, of course they had an amazing tux:

It looked so good and the saleslady told us the best selling point EVER: this is the same tux that Daniel Craig rocks in Skyfall.
Have you all seen this? SEE IT. It’s amazing (Movie poster via 007.com).
Ow ow. I thought for SURE he would pick this one. I mean…James Bond wore it. But, he surprised me by opting for this from All Saints:

After I saw it on him…I knew why. It fit PERFECTLY. I doubt he needs any tailoring at all—plus he saved quite a bit of money on it.
The rest of the ensemble was relatively easy. Wolfman ordered shirts for he and his groomsmen from Hugh and Crye:

They’re a local boutique that Wolfman has been pretty loyal to for a year or so now. He also got a shirt for each of his groomsmen. Not only is that a nice gift, it also assures that they’ll be uniformly snazzy looking for the big day. If your guy is particular about the fit of his shirts, I recommend taking a look there.
He’ll top off the whole look with a classic satin bow tie from J. Crew:

Funny story: Wolfman bought a bow tie for Mrs. Sparkler’s wedding and when we were getting ready…we realized neither of us knew how to tie one. Whoops. Guess we better learn.
So there you have it! The (incredibly) abridged version of how Wolfman picked his wedding wear. Any other grooms have this hard of a time picking something to wear? How much input did your guys have into the wedding day attire?
Love it! I firmly believe every man should own a tuxedo. Rented tuxes just never quite fit properly, and tailoring makes all the difference. Wolfman is going to look fab!
He’s going to look great, although I still can’t believe he passed on the James Bond tux!
The James Bond tux would be amazing. But if the tux fits him perfectly, I bet he’ll look even better than Bond in the one he did pick
All the tuxes you looked at are great, but beware: the tux worn in Skyfall is not from Hugo Boss, it’s actually by Tom Ford! Sneaky Boss saleswoman…
Mrs. Gray Wolf, Washington DC Age and Occupation: 26, Business Development Executive Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Research Scientist Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: February 2013 Venue: Whittemore House About Me: I'm an ultra-organized, pun-loving, list-making, cheese-enthusiast bride-to-be. Although my day job is in cubicle land, I'm happiest in the modern art wing of a museum, having recently earned my Masters in Museum Studies. Shortly after a chance meeting five years ago, I moved in with Wolfman and haven't looked back since. We love music, movies, TV, and all things pop culture; we have an unspoken competition to be the first to share the latest YouTube sensation or indie song. Together, we've filled quite a few pages in our passports, but also love quiet nights in with a Game of Thrones marathon and our French Bulldog, Tonks (Harry Potter, anyone?). I'm planning a small, cozy winter wedding---think mercury glass and candle light---in the heart of DC. Our venue is a historic home with a lot of political charm, but needs a bit of work to be wedding-ready.
