Choosing a Grooms Waistcoat

When the time comes to choose your waistcoat you will have many things to consider, here are the things to bear in mind (along with the instructions from your future wife, )

•Ensure the waistcoat is not too tight - remember you will be eating and drinking all day and evening and you need room to breathe.
•Choose a high necked waistcoat if wearing a cravat. The cravat can then be tucked in neatly and kept in place.
•Colours that will compliment the wedding colour scheme should be incorporated when possible.
•Its usually etiquette that the groom's waistcoat/attire is slightly different to the best man and others in his party.
•The waistcoat should completely cover the top of your trousers and have none of the shirt showing.
•Remember the saying 'you get what you pay for' so don't go ultra cheap, otherwise you may end up looking and feeling bad on your big day.
◦If you decide to order your waistcoat by post some tips to follow are:
◦Always wear a shirt when taking measurements.
◦Measure across the middle of the chest, under the arms and all around the back to full circle.
◦For a comfortable fit around the stomach, measure across the navel and all round back to full circle.
◦Don't forget to add your height and collar siz
