They sell a Hart Schaffner Marx tux that won't break the bank for a garment that won't get much use, and the wool might be lightweight enough for him. Thank you we shall if my husband is inclined. He is off camping and fly fishing right now. We did look briefly at Saks, but they were far too stylish and yes the manakins were wearing sneakers with their tuxes....

When on the Moon for 54 days there was no dress code on the first segment. Then the Hotel director changed and from there the dress code was enforced. And some passengers do indeed try to flout the rules. Have seen a fellow told by the Maitre'D in Atlantide that he needs a tie to enter and offered one. but he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tie. The latest in wrinkled chic. Don't tell me he didn't know the dress code and always carries a tie in one pocket. A great example of someone who knew the dress code and was trying to flout it. There's only one reason he'd have a tie in his pocket, and that's because he knew that if he got called on it he didn't want to have to walk all the way back to his cabin for a tie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went into bankruptcy a few years ago (no one buying business wear any longer?), but their online store still carries most everything. My first suits were Brooks Brothers. Classic charcoal grey and a classic dark blue. What every young man should have starting out. At least back in the early 90's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
