So, I may have another edition of my white tie; this time more fitting than anytime before, but I still need to find a place where they sell a decent myrcella cotton fabric that would not cost me an arm and a leg.
So far the status of getting the right white tie:
Tailcoat: Norwegian-made, circa 1950s; 17E
Trousers: bespoke - tailored by a kind lady from a theatre; 80E including fabric (that I spend like a year finding)
Waistcoat: Czechoslovakia, circa 1960s; 19E; remade into completely different cut by me (lousy job, I need to resew the buttons)
Bowtie: bespoke / MTM (how do you even say it for bowties?); 17E
Shirt: made by me since myrcella-fronted detachable collar shirts are around 100E around here and that is far too much for me. With supplies and everything (fabric for the stiff front, fabric for cuffs, detachable collar and collar buttons as well as pseudostuds), around 14E. My white-tie cufflinks with those little chains broke, so I have the regular ones that work horribly with stiff cuffs. Will make a new serious one once I find a fabric more suitable for starching than those I already tried.
Suspenders: Czechoslovakia, circa 1970s; 17E
Shoes: Loake Elland Black, not really sure about the price (180E?), got them for 90E from a guy who ordered them from England and picked a wrong size.
White carnation: 1E
That puts that around 255E; with 165E being more reasonable price as the shoes are not exclusive and can be used much more frequently than the whole full evening attire.
