If you tend to be on the husky side, wearing baggy clothes emphasizes those few extra pounds instead of concealing them. A good -- but not too tight -- fit is important. You want your clothes to drape without pulling or puddling.

The tradition of using silk or satin on tuxedo lapels emerged in the 1860s. It offered a fresh alternative to the velvet collars, cuffs and facings popular on formal wear during the English Regency period.

When it comes to tuxedos, there are three different types of vents. In the center-vent single, the seam has a lower opening, and there is a single vent slit in the back. With the side-vent type, there are two different openings in the lower seam, and the two in the back are double-vented. In the non-vented kind, there are no openings.

Keep in mind you will be wearing suspenders (braces) with your tuxedo. The classic look is white to match the dress shirt, but black is acceptable. If your tux is a color other than black, a complementary color may work.

A tuxedo is the appropriate choice for what kind of gathering? If you guessed a semi-formal occasion, you're right. Although it's a traditional and specialized type of garment, a tuxedo can still be comfortable and fun to wear.

The tuxedo was a revolutionary style that modernized formal wear by inspiring men to replace traditional tailcoats with the more casual shortened dinner jackets back in 1886. It is still the most stylish formal wear for men to this day.

If your bride has her heart set on you wearing a certain tuxedo style you aren't sure about, bring her with you to try on a few. No matter how much she likes a style, she won't want you to wear a tuxedo that looks wrong with your body type.

Did you know that the original dinner jackets were made without vents? Later, side vents emerged, which provided easier access to trouser pants. Common today is the single or center vent, although tux aficionados consider it in poor taste, as when a man reaches into his trouser pockets, it exposes the seat of his pants.

A tuxedo should fit your body perfectly, which means that you won’t need any help keeping your pants up (via suspenders or a belt). Most tux pants are tabbed, which allows you to pull them a bit tighter once they’re on your body.

A good tailor will be able to create a certain aesthetic around your clothing. He or she will use an expert eye to determine the right cut, design, and fit of the item in question that will best flatter your figure and make you look fabulous.

When it comes to tuxedos, a "besom pocket" refers to a fabric or satin strip that’s been sewn on top of the pocket. With a double besom, two strips are present: one over the pocket opening and one on top of the pocket.

It may seem strange, but beeswax used to be a common substance used by tailors in the production of suits. It was sometimes added to thread to give it additional weight and strength.
