That's not too bad at all! Can you give me a link? What was the turnaround time? I need it by April 10 at the latest. Thanks a lot!

I think you should have it in plenty of time. I expect to have mine next week. They are putting a rush on it because I need it for some of my Burns Night appearances. I don't want to wear my Montrose to all of them.

Their jackets are listed HERE

I chose the conversion route. The website referred to here, www.myowntuxedo.com has limited sizes. I went to ebay stores and got a great tailcoat and three button vest from the Tuxxman (also check out Monkeysuits and Tuxedos by Mike Dante for a wide selection). I bought pewter diamond thistle buttons from www.noonesbusiness.com, they also sell cuff links and studs (others talk about www.threefeatherspewter.com). A local tailor helped assemble the coat from pics and instructions from this site. The finished product cost about $200 and here it is:

Well, folks- thanks for the advice. I'm not going to have the money for a PC jacket AND a tank before the wedding I'm attending, so I think I'm just going to go with the kilt and a nice black vest.

Beware of tuxedos made for use as rentals. They are really bad quality tuxedos. I had to wear one for my daughters wedding (she picked out) and I felt I was in something that Wa****t rejected. I felt embarrassed to wear it. Cheap can't be fixed easily or inexpensively.
