Tux to be you.




Love me, love my tuxedo
By James Johnson

A while back I received an offer from Ruth Davis’s Affordable Tuxedos.
Davis presented me with the chance to wear her tuxedos for any snazzy journalism related event, which had me ecstatic, until I realized - I don’t go to that many snazzy journalism related events.
Remembering how unwise it is to look a gift horse in the mouth, I took Davis up on her offer and have developed some brand new ways to enjoy the suit James Bond made butch, the tuxedo.

Go fishing - in a tuxedo!
Fishing involves a lot of sitting around, staring at nature, and trying to avoid awkward conversations with your son, so why not do so in style?
Upon seeing your sharp new tux, the fish will feel as if they’ve been invited to an award ceremony. You can even replace your worm bait with mini-Oscar statues and play a drum roll before you toss in the line.
“And the winner is!”

Go to a job interview - in a tuxedo!
You’re supposed to dress to impress at a job interview, right? Well why not take that a step further and make your interviewer feel as if he or she has to impress you?
If you complete the look with a monocle and top hat it’ll be just the push you need to give your new employer the uneasy feeling that you’re just eccentric enough to one day be running the company.

Get fitted for a tuxedo - in a tuxedo!

Uh oh … Did that just blow your mind?

Go bowling - in a tuxedo!
Bowling is one of the few sports to not really garner its own uniform (trucker caps don’t count), so why not make the tuxedo the official uniform of bowling?
Honestly, the end result could go either way. This will either tremendously help the reputation of bowling as a gentleman’s sport, or really diminish the reputation of the tuxedo.
“Sweetie, I can’t believe you wore your bowling uniform to our wedding.”
