Featured Tuxedo: Chandler Shawl Lapel

The Chandler from Ike Behar black shawl lapel tuxedo is the perfect attire if you are looking for a classy and timely look.  The trim fit one button jacket always fits like a custom jacket.  The full satin lapels, buttons and besom pockets are always a nice, formal added touch to the tuxedo.

Chandler is sophisticated, modern, and very handsome.

The super luxurious 120s fabric is comfortable, soft and breathable.  Many of our customers are surprised how comfortable the fabric is when they touch it.  This is an important point because weddings and formal events tend to be part of a long day.  No matter what time of year the event occurs, you will always want to make sure you are wearing something comfortable.  This fabric and tuxedo will definitely ensure comfort.

Tuxedo Accessories

The beauty of this tuxedo style is the various matching accessories that are made by the designer.  You can choose a match V-shaped vest or a more old-fashioned scoop vest.  While most choose the more modern V-shaped vest, there are times our customers want to stand out and show a look from a throw-back era and choose the scoop vest.  The scoop vest exposes more buttons on the front of the shirt and is rounded at the bottom of the front of the vest.

Tuxedo Fit Options

Ike Behar also offers matching slim fit pants or skinny fit pants with this tuxedo.  If you are looking to go with an ultra-modern look, then we often recommend the skinny fit version of the pants.  If you want a more traditional look, choose slim fit pants. 

Both pants have a quarter inch of satin running down the side of the pants; truly a classy and formal look.  The skinny fit pants are much more tapered around the ankle and often fit closer to the contour of the legs and thighs.  Customers often wear a shorter version of the skinny-fit pants to show off some angle or socks.

All of the various options, vest and pants, are made of the same exact fabric as the jacket and will blend perfectly.

What would Barbie wear if she were getting married?

Recently, Dawn Mitchell of partyspace.com and president-elect of Philadelphia National Association of Catering and Events reached out to us and came up with a very clever idea on a blog:  What would Barbie wear if she were getting married?  This, of course, came about due to the Barbie movie about to be released.  We are very proud of our blog content at Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo, but honestly, this was a genius blog idea!  Our hats off to you, Dawn!

We immediately put together the wedding dress options Barbie would wear and of course, we couldn’t forget about Ken!  So why are we mentioning all of this?  Because this shawl lapel Ike Behar tuxedo with skinny fit pants are exactly what we recommended for Ken’s wedding attire.  We also suggest a wardrobe change for the groom Ken Carson!  Come now, it’s Ken and Barbie!  Do you think they’d wear the same thing all day on their wedding day?!  Take a read of this fun blog at PartySpace.com.

We are big fans of the Chandler from Ike Behar tuxedo.  If it’s good enough for Kenneth Sean Carson, it’s good enough for Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo!
