Grooms attire

Hi

I'm wondering the same as you - hopefully the newlyweds will be able to offer insight/suggestions.

OH wore a linen mix suit, but with a bit more shape than the "floppy" type of linen suit. He wore it with a casual short sleeved shirt and leather flip flops (trouser legs turned up a little as well)

First time ive flashed so hopefully this will work.

Thanks for your reply, ive found this picture on google and we like the middle one so hoping we can find something in a lightweight material similar

I am loving this suit.

i think the only regret I will have about marrying abroad is not seeing my H2B in top hat and tails.

Small price to pay when compared to all the positives of jetting off to sunny climates lol - not many things on the half empty list ;-)

My O.H. got a lightweight suit,rather than linen from a website called Brook Taverner. It had 3 or 4 colours available , and was on offer...I think it was around £120.

Hi Carter.

A lot of people assume that there's nothing between a proper English business suit and a very casual linen suit but actually the choice is huge.

You want something that's cool in hot climates but doesn't crease all over the place like linen, am I right? What you need is a pure wool in an ultra-lightweight fabric.

If you go to a bespoke tailor he can show you tropical weight fabrics that are specifically designed for tropical weather. Some of them are as light as six and a half ounces (per square yard). To give you an idea the average medium weight business suit is around twelve ounces.

If you're worried about the durability of these light weight wool fabrics you could always go for a wool & mohair mix. The mohair adds durability and it also has a natural resilience so it creases less than a pure wool suit.

Hope that helps.

P.s. whichever option you take, don't hang around because having suits tailored can take 2-3 months depending on which tailor you use.
