The men’s grey Essex tuxedo by Savvi has been available at Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo for almost 10 years. So we’ve seen a lot of grooms, groomsmen, fathers and prom-goers wear this tuxedo called Essex.
If you have a big bridal party or just a few of your guys looking for a tuxedo from Savvi formalwear for your big day, this may be the right color.
When this tuxedo was first designed and made available by Savvi, it was a little unusual for it’s time. Traditionally, tuxedos had full satin lapels, satin buttons and sometimes satin lining on the pockets. Savvi decided to take a different approach and only have a very thin line of satin piped into the edging of the notch lapel. The satin isn’t even on the surface of the lapel itself. About an eighth of an inch of grey satin protrudes from the side of the lapel. It’s both unique and interesting.
In addition, the buttons don’t have your traditional satin covering. The designer covered the buttons with the same grey fabric of the tuxedo.
This two bottom, side vented jacket also has double besom pockets. Often worn with the matching grey vest and grey pants we think this shade of grey is sophisticated and handsome. The color is not too dark or too light and can be worn pretty much any time of year.
Shoe Choice With the Grey Essex Tuxedo
Our last count, over 70% of our customers wear this tuxedo with brown shoes. They provide a modern and contrasting look to the grey. The other 30% have worn this tuxedo with matte black shoes.
Why Choose The Grey Essex?
First and foremost, we find that wedding parties looking to wear a grey tuxedo that is not too dark or too light, often gravitate to this one. It is also more of a budget friendly tuxedo rental, mainly because the fabric is not as high-end as some of our other grey tuxedos and suits. Our customer like the affordable price of this grey suit.
Another thing that attracts customers to this tuxedo is the unique and minimal satin on the lapels and the fabric covered buttons. Each feature is interesting and classy.
Suggestions On Choosing Your Tuxedo
When it comes to choosing suits or tuxedos for your wedding or formal event, we always suggest coming into the store to be able to see the styles in person. Photographs don’t always reflect the true color or texture of things. In addition you get to feel the fabric and see if you like the comfort level of the wool blend.
Working with over 61 different suit and tuxedo styles everyday, we can honestly say there is a big difference between the feel of various fabrics. These differences can affect comfort and even look of the garments.
Coming into our store will also assure you the very best service when you speak directly to our kind and knowledgable staff. Who knows, by seeing our selection in person, you may even consider a navy tuxedo or our Allure Men shale Brunswick.
Either way, by coming into our beautiful bridal and tuxedo store, you will have the opportunity to feel the amazing comfort of our light tuxedos.
