Tuxes
So we went to see two other tux shops this weekend after I was flabergasted about how Men's Wearhouse wanted to charge $210 for the tuxes we liked. We went to Friars (which was more reasonable), as well as a local shop. I was so happy with the local shop. Not only are we getting the dark grey tuxes that we like for $129 for everything, they were the only place that took the time to explain things and actually have FI try on the tux with the different vest/tie options. We are also big supporters of going with local businesses, so it's a win-win.
I also had a funny moment and wondered if I was the only one that didn't know it before. By the third place, I just had to ask the rep, what the hell is the difference between tuxes and suits because on their displays, they certainly looked very similar! He said there are three subtle differences: 1) there is satin on the lapel, 2) there is the satin stripe down the pant, and 3) the jacket buttons are covered with fabric and not plain buttons. haha
