unique grooms attire??

Ok, so we are totally hung up on the groom and groomsmen attire! This part wasn't supposed to be complicated but we want to do something a little different. No tuxedos! No black suits! We really want something vintage looking ---brown, three piece, maybe plaid?? Anyone have a good lead on where to find hip, retro three piece suits?

    Well I will tell you what we are doing but its not really vintage. I am the same way kinda no black suit or tuxedos! Therefore all guys are wearing kaki, white button up no tie, navy blue blazer and brown shoes. Its more preppy than vintage but I think its sexy and I'm really excited to see them all dressed up!!! FI will wear the same thing but his bout and jacket pocket hanki will make him stand out a little.

    I have no idea what your budget is, but if you have the budget J. Crew has very nice looking suits, but the whole 3-piece suit costs about $500. My FI is wearing their Ludlow suit in cotton:

    They have a tan linen one & a seersucker one also. But they aren't too cheap for a whole groom's party.

    We're doing khakis, white shirts, and turquoise ties from Cyberoptix.  Personally I'm not a fan of tuxes.

    Isn't there a vintage consignment shop down near Glenwood South?  You can try looking there.

    I want my guys to wear suit vests, ties, white button up, slacks, and dress shoes. They would roll up their sleeves. I've had a really hard time finding a place to get all these things and not spend a fortune though. But the look is really cute.
