Buying A Tuxedo Like James Bond
James Bond is looked at as the ultimate tuxedo wearing man by many folks. You’ll see him in many of his films participating in black tie events in an elegant looking fitted tuxedo. He will do the stuff most people only dream about and he will do it without ever getting his tuxedo dirty. For example, you’ll see him fighting off two well muscled men in the film Casino Royale. Before the day is through he is back in the casino actively playing cards and acting like nothing occurred. Bond still appears perfect in his high quality tuxedo.
The thing many people don’t recognize however, is that Bond is donning high priced tuxes. He is not merely grabbing a tuxedo off the rack at his neighborhood tuxedo rental shop. His tuxes are designer tuxedos that are built particularly for him.
Some tuxedo manufacturers that Bond has used in his films are Burberry, Brioni, and Tom Ford. You’ll find price tags that are four to five figures just for their off the rack models. Only the finest fabrics are utilized in the creation of these tuxes. You won’t find any of Bond’s tuxedos made from 100% polyester.
The fact that all of Bond’s tuxedos are custom made makes these tuxes look even better on him. This is what really sets apart two people wearing the same tuxedo. Personally, I think that a person in a custom tailored tuxedo can look better than an individual in a more expensive off the rack tux.
If you only have a minimal amount of funds, you may want to consider getting a middle of the road tuxedo brand tailored to fit you. Some tuxedo brands to consider are: Ralph Lauren, Joseph A Bank, and Hart Schaffner Marx. These brands are not made out of cheap fabrics and will stand the test of time. Just be sure that the tailor knows what he or she is doing and that you get the tuxedo updated each time your body composition changes. If you have gained thirty pounds of unwanted fat, then its most likely time to let the midsection out in your tuxedo pants.
