TRUE (I swear): A fellow dance club member lost a lot of weight and gave me his tuxedo. I had it cut down by a known good tailor.
He said, "Man, this is a good tux".
He removed the HIGHLY STUPID raised horn lapels. I gladly paid for the construction of tasteful, notched lapels.
Shawl lapels (smooth, folded satin) would've limited the usability of the garment.
'Twas a fine suit indeed.
It went missing years ago. That's all. The only thing I can think of is that after some function, with the tux in its bag, I must've left it somewhere.
I'll settle for losing it myself as other scenarios require me to suspect or blame other people....and I'm just too cool to do that....most of the time.
