Choosing The Cut of The Jacket
Tuxedo rental or suit rental it doesn't matter. Choosing the cut of the jacket is something to consider when making your selection. Just like when the bride must consider the body shapes of her bridesmaids when picking out the dresses that she wants the girls to wear, a groom should consider the body shapes of the men in his party before choosing the cut of the jackets. Basically there are 3 different cuts in todays jacket styles:
The Traditional Cut -
The traditional cut is most commonly found in the standard tuxedo or suit rental. It is tailored to provide a more fuller look. The shoulders of this jacket are more extended and the waist is more generous. Typically these styles are made of the tropical weight worsted wool that has been the staple of the rental industry. Father's are usually more comfortable in this styling and it is flattering for any body type.
The Modern Cut
The modern styling is more fashion forward offering a more flattering silhouette. This style features a narrower lapel and waist. Typically worn with matching flat front pants to compliment the slimmer appearance. Tailored to provide a softer drape and made of either the tropical weight wool or a super 100's light weight wool the modern tuxedo is a great choice the average body type.The Slim Cut
The slim cut styling is today's style and fashion in men's clothing. Featuring a very slim lapel styling, shorter jacket length, and a narrower fit thru the mid-section. This style is complemented by a flat front pant that is slimmer thru the seat and thighs. Tailored exclusively from super 100's light weight wool, this outfit is definitely the top of the line rental. This styling is great for the average to athletic physique.
Choosing the style jacket should be easy now that you can picture how each one would fit the men in your wedding party. Always try and have your groomsmen wear something that they will feel comfortable in.
