I'm looking for something a little more modern. But I have no problem with a single button. I've seen some by Hugo Boss that I like. Any suggestions on brands or stores. I have several black tie events this winter and I'd like to invest in a nice one.

you might want to check out the Macy's that just opened in Crabtree. Or even places like Nordstroms, etc. A lot of times, the more modern tuxes and suits are on sale b/c they don't sell as well (in places like Raleigh). Men stick with the typical/classic styles, often.

I was a part of wedding party recently that did their tuxedos through After Hours (an affiliate of David's Bridal). They are vey poorly organized as a busniess, and caused headaches for almost all of us. The styles they had were nice, and I decided to buy the Tommy Hillfiger tux since I will likely need a tux again. But there was some kind of mix up and they weren't able to get my size jacket in time and the pants werent quite fitted right, so now I own a $400 tux with a jacket that is way too long. I could go on about other problems, but suffice it to say that After Hours is not the place to go.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. Jos A Banks is def a nice place, and you just missed a huge sale they had. I got a $600 suit on sale for $99. but if you have the money its def a place you'll want to check out

i have never and will never be involved in enough black tie events to justify the purchase of a tuxedo

or even a nice suit for that matter

sounds like u've had just bad luck. i've gone to them for 3-4 different events from proms to formals to weddings and never once had an issue with something not fitting or something goin wrong.

"HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE. 9/11 WAS A LIE. THERE WERE NO TOWEL HEADS. THERE WAS NO AIRPLANE. IN TRUTH I WAS VISITING THE BIG APPLE, SO AS TO COMPARE MY GARGANTUAN MEAT TRAIN TO IT AND LAUGH AT THE GASPING NEW YORKERS AS I POUNDED THEIR BELOVED NAMESAKE INTO BIG APPLE SAUCE. HAVING NOT GOTTEN RELEASE FROM MY CULINARY EXERCISE, I MEANDERED DOWN THE STREET WITH MY VITAL BLOOD ENGORGED SEWER PIPE OUT IN FRONT OF ME LIKE A BLIND MAN'S CANE, LOOKING FOR A HOLE IN THE BACKSIDE OF A WOMAN WHICH I WOULD STRETCH BEYOND HUMAN LIMITS. I SPOTTED AT THAT VERY MOMENT AN ATTRACTIVE FEMALE IN A MINISKIRT WAVING AT ME. I SLAPPED HER TO THE GROUND WITH MY ENORMOUS PHALLUS AND QUICKLY RAVISHED HER SKIRT LIKE A STARVED DOG ON A BABY MADE OF STEAK. THE SIGHT THAT AWAITED BOTH SHOCKED AND ENRAGED ME. AFTER SEEING THIS "WOMAN'S" RAISIN-SIZED WINKY WINKLER, I VOMITED DOWN HIS THROAT AND PENETRATED HIS ESOPHAGUS, RIPPED OUT HIS SPINE AND PEELED HIS CORPSE FROM MY MONEYMAKER. TO TEACH ALL OF NEW YORK A LESSON FOR LETTING THIS FLAMING FAG BAG LIVE, I LET LOOSE A SEMENAL FLOOD OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS UPON THE TOWERS OF TWO (AT WHOM'S SMALL SIZE I LAUGHED LIKE A CLOWN RAPING AN 8 YEAR OLD), WHICH CAUSED THEM TO COME CRASHING DOWN LIKE ME AFTER A WEEKEND METH BINGE. I MOCKED THE NEW YORKERS AND MADE NIGGER JOKES AS THEY RAN FROM MY EVER EXPANDING CLOUD OF SPERMAZOA, MASTURBATING TO THE LOOKS OF HORROR ON THEIR FACES. THE GOVERNMENT, IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE FACE AND BECAUSE THEY HATE ARABS MORE THAN JEWS, PAINTED A BOEING 767 ON MY GIGANTIC COCK AND CALLED IT A TERRORIST ATTACK. THE FEELING OF PAINTBRUSHES ON MY DICK MADE ME COME AGAIN, AND PRESIDENT BUSH SNORTED UP EVERY LAST DROP BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS COKE. I GUARANTEE IT."
