Ready for the Queen Mary…Almost!

Jacket and pants, Men’s clothing store, Istanbul: $100
Patent leather shoes, Amazon.co.uk: $35
Pleated formal shirt, Amazon.co.uk: $25
Black satin cummerbund and bow tie set, Amazon.co.uk: $12

We’ve done a little shopping the last few weeks, starting with picking up the black dinner suit in Istanbul for less than $100. To complete the tuxedo, thankfully Amazon delivers in the UK. Chuck can dress for the theme of the evening, starting with the “Black and Tie” formal set above. He also has a satin red cummerbund and tie set, a silver paisley set, and a red paisley set. Not to mention his Christmas bow tie and the slick cufflinks he’s picked up: steampunk cufflinks from Amazon and “vintage” English cufflinks at a flea market.

All along the way, he’s also picked up a few hats. In a way, the hat styles chronicle our 6 month adventure. Which do you guys think he should wear on those Queen Mary formal nights?
