Suits with skulls?

Jenn&MikeWedding · October 2013

Hello knotties! I'm writing this on my couple's behalf (I'm the wedding planner.)

The groom is a drummer in a band, and he is hoping to do something special and a little different with his attire, though still keep things classy and tasteful. The affair will be a little more casual. He's been to 2 weddings of fellow band mates, and both grooms wore the same suit that had patches on them and he doesn't want to be number three! I have shown him that he could do a tie with a skull print, but I guess he's not really into wearing ties. He's more interested in seeing the detailing physically on the suit...in my mind, the perfect thing would be a skull embossed on the back of the suit jacket.

I've been searching for something akin to this online, but as of yet have had no success. Does anyone here possibly have any suggestions as to where I should go to find something like this? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Andrea

May be easier to get a custom suit jacket made with the fabric he likes, or perhaps just on the collar of the suit.

Either way, it'll look a bit Halloween-ish, but to each their own.

Just the jacket here: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Alexander-McQueen-Mini-Skull-Print-Blazer-Black-White-skull/prod151040046___/?icid=&searchType=MAIN&rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D4294914706%2526_requestid%253D65398%2526Ntt%253Dskull&eItemId=prod151040046&cmCat=search

I think he could just buy a normal tux or suit and get a skull patch sewn on or designed and sewn in.

@knotporscha - perhaps you can help this person

OP - I strongly suggest you take your clients' full names out of your screen name. It look me about 3 seconds to figure out who these people are and find them online. Send a private message to KnotPorscha and she can change your screen name.

Why not just have him buy a cheap black or dark grey suit jacket, and use fabric paint to stencil in some skulls?

Jacket (could also probably find one at Goodwill):

Can you use a normal black jacket and have the skull fabric as the lining of the jacket? This way it would be a bit more subtle

@southernbelle0915 thank you for the heads up. I'm going to change it this morning.

Thanks, KP!

I would go with a skull lining on the inside of the suit. It keeps it classy, but with some edge and personality!
