RETAIL MADE TO MEASURE You choose the: • Fabric • Fit • Texture • Design
Purchasing your suit allows you to customize your look from head to toe. From fabric quality, to texture and design, the options are endless. Depending on the location and season of your event, you can pick a material that works best for you. For example, a lightweight wool would be well suited for a summer wedding, due to its natural fibers that are resistant to water and extremely breathable. After picking the color, style, and texture of your garment, it’s time for the next step: tailoring. Tailoring, by simple definition, is the addition and removal of fabric that helps to achieve a perfect fit for individual body types, ultimately leaving you with a customized look.

Q&A
TOP QUESTIONS ASKED When should the bride and groom come in?
Timing is key to a great outfit. Allow yourself the time to complete your flawless look. Derk Formals recommends coming 3 to 6 months prior to your event; however the Edmonton south side location offers a one day express service if needed. Booking your appointment can be as easy as booking online at www.derksformals.com or stopping in at your local Derks Authorized Agent
What is the difference between a suit and tuxedo? Tuxedo Satin on the lapels Satin covered buttons Satin detailing on pockets
Suit No satin on the lapels Exposed buttons No satin trim on pockets
How should my garment fit?
The fit and feel is based on the body type. There are numerous brands with different fits.
Grant Olson Photography
Classic: A more comfortable, loser fit in the shoulders and body. Wider pant leg.
What color shoes do I wear with which color suit?
Modern: Updated version of the classic cut fits closer to the body and has compressed shoulders, and a slightly slimmer leg.
With navy, shoes can be black, dark brown or ox blood.
With gray trousers, shoes can be black (conservative), dark brown (sophisticated), or ox blood.
Slim: Slim fit jackets are cut closer to the body and fitted more to the silhouette. The garment fits tighter in the arms, waist, and chest, along with the thigh and pant leg.
With tan and olive, shoes can be all shades of brown or ox blood.
How do I differentiate the grooms’ attire from the groomsmen attire?
What buttons do I do up?
Today there are so many options for the grooms’ attire, but there are no rules or guidelines you must follow. The groom will have no problem finding just the right look to suit his personality. Going with completely different garment is becoming more and more popular, rather than the standard uniform look. The groom can also add a unique touch with a different tie and pocket square to set him apart.

Rentals accommodate a large range of sizes and body types. With the warehouse on sight at the south side location, it is as easy as taking a few steps to get a new size.

The Kings Rule: One man’s style faux pas, ironically, became a suit buttoning standard. Edward VII, an overweight king, couldn’t fully button his suit jacket and waistcoat, and as a result always left the bottom button undone. His subjects (either out of respect or fear) followed suit. The trend of leaving the bottom button undone caught on. 1 Button Jacket – Always done up 2 Button Jacket – Top button always done up, bottom button opened. 3 Button Jacket – Top button optional, middle button done up, and bottom button opened. When sitting down, you will open up the jacket fully.
