Let me tell you these were disappointing at best... see for yourselves. Please note Mr. AZ's pants in the picture are in fact deep brown. The first resembles that of a Ringman in a Circus.

inVESTed
Well we tried to become inVESTed, I really love the look of a 3 piece suit but ladies, in the U.S. at least they are hard to come by. Unless you don't mind black, but any other color was a miss. Case in point Mr. AZ's suit is deep chocolate brown, so when we decided that a custom vest (with a custom pricetag of $300) was out of the question we wandered over to Amazon.com and found two contenders.

And the second deserves it's own side show. Well we tried to do the vest thing, we really did... but sadly the outcome was subpar at best. But let's appreciate what we DO have...
One fine looking suit and tie and a very handsome groom! As for the vests, well we shall return those. No harm no foul. Oh and for the nay sayers (or those who have been nay-sayed at ala Ms Potato Chips) Mr. AZ's suit is dark brown, his shirt is white and his tie is a creamy ivory to match my dress. And it doesn't look dirty at all! Did you hit any bumps in finding your grooms apparel? Or did you find that you liked it just the way it was, without all the extra fuss?

I didn't know anything about what he was wearing until the day of. He got his suit made and bought everything without my even seeing it--one thing off my plate!
@SogniSorrisi That's awesome! Mr. AZ wanted my help with all the details because he was afraid he would miss something!
Adam's going to have an ivory vest that matches his shirt. I like that look :)
they don't look thaaaat bad...maybe it's that the patterns don't really match his tie? i think going sans vest is good though, he looks great!
We ended up "tossing" the patterned vest sak and i made, since the pattern was just throwing everything off. we got a plain white vest for $20 instead, and it seems to work (after making it much smaller first of course!)
I like the vestless look..I can see how something just doesn't look right with them all together...we didn't run into any snags, but he hasn't tried the full tux on yet so who knows!
We also went with the vestless look. We wanted to actually not go with tuxes at all and go with suits, but my guy didn't want to make his groomsmen purchase suits for the wedding. We finally found a tux that was more "suit like" and no vest. I think the options out there for men's rentals are limited. Mr. Mojito bought ties for the guys from Express Men's and they loved them!!
Good to know. We're just starting to think about the tuxes, and I was wondering about the vest issue. The wedding is in Nov, but in FL that could still be warm.
@Ms.Mojito - were the ties in lieu of groomsman gifts? I don't know that we can afford both.
