Here at Anthony formal wear we are finding that a lot of our wedding parties are choosing to have dinner suit weddings. Therefore a number of our Grooms want something that little bit more special than the classic black dinner suit to make themselves stand out. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the classic black tuxedo or dinner suit. Its smart, its elegant, its timeless and it looks like your entering a room full of James Bonds! So how do you make yourself different? How can you outshine a room of James Bond types? Well we've found an ever increasing way of doing this is to have a custom or made-to-measure velvet wedding suit.
The perfect custom velvet wedding suit
What does it mean to have a a custom made suit? You can create your suit by choosing your cloth, style, design, lining, trimmings and fit for your unique outfit.
How does it work? You will be asked to try on a 'sample' suit and then there are 8 points which can be altered within the suit pattern at time of the production. From the chest and waist of the jacket to the width of the trouser.
A custom made suit is a more scaled back version of our made-to-measure suit collection. Having a custom made suit can offer you a lot of choice when designing the perfect suit for your special occasion. Choose from a selection of over 120 cloths, select your lining, melton, buttonhole colour and buttons.
Prices for a custom made suit start from £445.00 for a 2 piece and £535.00 for a 3 piece. Custom made wedding suits normally take approximately 8-12 weeks to come into us. This may vary at certain times of the year. Once your suit arrives we will contact you to arrange to have your first fitting. If there are any further alterations or adjustments needed they can be done for you within 48 hours.

Having a made-to-measure suit for your wedding can help you achieve that wow factor. You know the weird comment that your Bride made about knowing her dress was 'the one' well having a made-to-measure suit can give you the same feeling.

Classic black velvet
The black velvet dinner suit can been worn by anyone of any age. It is a timeless 'go to' for evening wear. Even Prince William wore his at least twice in 2020 alone.

Blue velvet wedding suit
For those of you that fancy something that isn't black but are still 'lovin' the velvet' how about a rich dark navy suit as seen at The Oscars, Emmys and The Golden Globes.
& now for something completely different...
I think when it comes to different no one summed it up better this year than Daniel Craig at the Premiere of No Time To Die, his last outing as Bond. Who would have expected this? The ultimate character to which we all associate the classic black dinner suit to wear a vibrant pink velvet suit! But as always Bond looked amazing.
You don't have to go to the extreme of Daniel Craig in his pink velvet. We can offer more subtle ways such as a dark green, burgundy, royal blue or even a camouflage velvet.
