I have discovered that Burlington Coats has similar priced items of formal attire. They also carry white vests if you are getting white-tie formal.
I bought a bow tie there last summer for three bucks! it looks just like the one for which I paid much more at a formal shop.
If you have a Charlie and need to get a little dressire that black tie, you could buy a white vest and white tie and look like a Scottish fred Astaire.

Another good source for tux shirts is the good old J.C. Penny catalog at www.jcp.com, they are $29.95 or $34.95 depending on which one you select.

Tux Shirts
It has been my understanding that tuxedo style (wing-collar) shirts used in highland dress should have a plain front , no pleats; http://www.tartansauthority.com/Web/...eartheKilt.asp
I needed one a while ago, and did not have time to order from any of our usual vendors. It was not easy to find one locally either, but I ended up at an Al's Formal Wear store where they not only had plenty of plain front wing collar shirts, but had some retired rental ones in my size for 14bucks I got a nice shirt and a new bow tie for under $20 .

Technically, the wing-collar shirts are for white-tie; black tie shirts should be plain front with a "stand-and-fall" collar, although the formal rental business here in the US has pretty much made this a moot point.
