"After we have chosen the tux, we then would choose the vest to go with it. Either they want the plain or the accompanying vest to that tux. They choose one that would be best coordinating their vest with the girl that would accompany them. I have all different colors, different textures and they're all in the book. You can choose from the vest of one color to striped ties or a plain tie or the tie of, the same as the vest in a bow tie, or you can choose a paisley for a hand tie with this style. There are all kinds of styles and all kinds of paisleys here. This is a haring bone style, it has a little black in it. This is what they, it's sort of a diamond shape. It's called the Enchantment and it has many colors. This one is called the Spectrum, again it comes with many colors, different types of ties. Now if you tell me you want a bow tie, you will need a wing collar shirt. If they tell me they want a long tie, such as a foreign hand tie, which come in by the way a prebade adjustable because I think the art of putting a Windsor not on a tie has been lost along the youth. And I also have satin foreign hand ties, many different colors they can choose here. When you come to that along with striped ties, you might choose a different shirt. Which you might have said I want a black shirt instead of a white shirt. I then would put the black number down. Some people wish to have a brown shirt with a one of the beige or the linen look tie a tuxes, then you would have a brown shirt. And lastly, you would be choosing your shoes. Shoes are extra. Everything else comes with the price of the tux. But I have regular basic shoes here and they come in the three basic colors that you would need, black, white and classic ivory. I have more expensive shoes. Some fit a little better or wider foot. There are some wides available. Some are shinier than others. Some are slip ons. It just depends what they choose to wear. At a wedding party, sometimes the groom wants the white and all the groomsmen to have the same color shoe in a black, such as this or a beige such as that. It depends all on the tux you are choosing. Coming with a tux does also come the button covers for a shirt. They are four little things and in a tux shirt there is a little button whole above the actual button on the shirt. This little knob would then fit through that and the shirt could be buttoned on that little colored black knob. As I think you have seen on some of them here. There are also cuff links. With every tux rented comes a pair of cuff links. There are four button covers and a pair of cuff links."
