if you bought fewer than about 10 ties I will have to call your judgement into question
in fact, I will do that anyway. Why did you buy ties?

and what car?

You can't get many decent ties for less that £20 now.

I bought a tie on saturday actually
and now that I think about it, you are right. Also, as with most things like that, most of the ones available are fucking horrible.

Fucking hell
£30 a tie to wear once?

Well, no, I chose them to be fairly suitable for wearing "generally"
and why is that any more stupid than £60 each to hire a penguin suit that not only will you only wear once, you don't even get to keep?

This is true I suppose
Got a mate who runs a wedding shop so mates rates for our suits

sounds sensible
I bought an ex hire suit for the cost of hiring one, and am going to be able to get it tailored to fit nicely. I've instructed my best man to wear a black suit. Everyone else can wear what they want

I'm just getting one of my decent suits tailored.
No desire to look like a grey penguin. I did that last time. Told the boys to all wear suits of roughly the same colour and that'll work for me.

I have the urge to dress like a victorian gent for mine
not sure why.

Just as long as you crack one off over the scullery maid
that's fine by me.

I've recently become more sartorially aware
and, as with most things, I immediately jump from learning how to do something properly to being incredibly snobbish abut those that don't.

As a result, should I marry, myself and my best man will be in grey morning suits with four-in-hand ties and the rest shall be in normal suits. There shall be no tails or Ascots present and I shall sneer at those who suggest it.

morning suits often have tails. Unless you mean frock coats.

I was actually thinking of a stroller at the time I posted, for some reason.
But I did mean a morning suit.
