Weddings Winter 2009 > Grooms

Charles Tyrwhitt

This classic Jermyn Street shirtmaker carries traditional Oxfords and formal evening shirts ($110 to $199) in almost every shade imaginable. Lively colored ties abound, from bright-gold skinny ones ($85) to pale-purple handmade wovens ($99).

D&G

D&G caters to the svelte and stylish. Their blazers ($650 to $950) are super-skinny, and the pants ($275 to $395) are even skinnier. Suits range from $825 to $1,100.

Dolce & Gabbana

The Italian designers’ more upscale line offers equally sleek men’s garb, from tailored suits to a traditional three-button tux ($1,200 to $2,100).

Duncan Quinn

Rock and roll meets Savile Row at this kicky boutique where it’s easy to find something with a little edge. Grooms can choose from the ready-to-wear selection (suits from $1,950) or get a bespoke suit and tie (from $3,250).

Eisenberg & Eisenberg

This store has tuxedos at some of the lowest prices around. A worsted wool Perry Ellis tuxedo is $329 ($130 to rent); prices top out at $800. Formal shoes, cuff links, and all styles of cummerbunds and vests are available. They offer same-day alterations.

Ermenegildo Zegna

Ermenegildo Zegna’s elegant collection includes a single-button, three-button, or double-breasted six-button option. For $1,900 to $3,700, grooms can expect a suit or tuxedo cut to their tastes.

Etro

English classics with a swank Italian twist are popular among the grooms who swear by Etro’s bold prints and suits. The wool plaid suit (around $1,500), striped shirts (from $275), and jazzy ties ($125) are perfect for the spotlight-loving groom.

Freeman's Sporting Club

Freeman’s Sporting Club shares a similar old timey aesthetic with the restaurant of the same name. A clothing and odds-and-ends boutique (you can find gear for the urban hunter-gatherer like, say, saddles), Freeman’s also boasts a back-room barber offering some mean straight-razor shaves ($40). And while the store may be filled with seemingly casual attire—think worsted wool tweed jackets and worn-in tees—the F.S.C Made to Measure feature allows men to work directly with a tailor to create a bespoke suit (prices start at $2,000; the process takes ten to twelve weeks).

Giorgio Armani

For impeccable classic designs, Armani’s suits (about $2,500) and ties ($115 to $135) are a best bet; his well-cut tuxedos range from $2,500 to $3,800.

Gucci

Gucci offers manifold options for polished, streamlined suits (from $1,300), and two ultra-styled mohair tuxedos ($2,300 to $2,800). The Signoria has a notch lapel with a satin trim; the Manhattan has a satin-faced peak lapel. Gucci also does made-to-order apparel.
