Review My Attire (Black Tie)

[artificer]

If you would like a buttonhole in the lapel, a short trip to the local tailor and a few dollars will do the trick. Buttonholes are quick enough you might even have it done while you wait.

And I should say that you look great! I agree with those that have suggested flashier hose (especially with the recommendation for purple), but also think the ensemble is fantastic as is.

If I had a touch more time, I'd do the buttonhole myself. I'm booked solid until the event Sat. night. I DO need to make a trip to my tailor, however. I'm getting the 5 button waistcoat taken in a bit and having it cropped square across the bottom, turning it into a 4 button and giving it a more "Duke of Rothsay" look. I'll probably have the buttonhole done when I get the waistcoat done.

I like the dark hose, and that sporran is the dog's.

I had a magnetic buttonhole made for my wedding since I wasn't going to ruin a brand new Regulation Doublet.
A few strong magnets could do the trick for ya.
