My fiance and I have been arguing over the clothes for our wedding party for sometime now. I would prefer to wear matching suits and ties. Is it appropriate for the groom and his groomsman to wear suits instead of tuxedos?
Suits would be much better than tuxedos for a daytime wedding, when a dinner jacket would be incorrect (the proper formal clothes would be morning coats or strollers like the ones in the illustration). Dinner jackets would be a bit better than suits in the evening (as long as they are not pastel colored anyway) but it's your wedding. You'd look fine in navy suits.

I've seen patch and flap pockets mentioned occasionally on the boards, but not all that often, and a couple of posters have opined privately that they don't like them. Do you?
They are a styling choice like any other, though I would not put flaps on summer jackets.
I have them on tweed suits. Brooks Brothers used to put them on its gabardines, and I had one of those.The disadvantage of patch pockets is that they are smaller and they bulge more. The advantage is that they do not require as much lining, and that's a good thing for a summer jacket.

I like patch pockets on a summer jacket - with the breast pocket as a patch as well. I just bought a blue seersucker jacket at Paul Stuart with 3 patch pockets. I was going to wear it today - but it is cold and rainy in NYC. Will have to wait another week.
