Armani Tuxedo Or Austin Reed Tuxedo?

By Clement Sancharo

The Armani and Austin Reed tuxedos are both popular and well known throughout the formal wear community. This article will provide a quick analysis of both tuxedos to give you a better idea of what to expect from each.

The Armani collection was created by Georgio Armani, the former employee of Nino Cerruti. This man has taken the combination of high quality and fantastic marketing and made a real name for himself and his lineup.

The Armani tuxedo has a stylish modernized look with enough subtle tones of traditional styles to keep it from being too trendy. This tuxedo is well known among both fashion acolytes and regular folk as well.

Fabrics found in this tuxedo consist of highly spun wools well over super 150's. Wrinkle resistant models can be found with a healthy combination of spandex, which provides for a nice smooth feel. Expect a price tag over two thousand for a new model.

Austin Reed is one of the classic companies that have lived through two world wars and survived over a century. This company is well known for its location on Regent street as well as 69 other outlets.

Traditional, classic, and conservative are all words to describe the style of an Austin Reed tuxedo. The British influence is easily seen in these elegant and beautiful tuxedos.

Materials are of equal quality to that of Armani in wool cuts, but not as innovative in the area of wrinkle resistant fabrics. These tuxedos are great for gentleman looking for a more traditional style luxury tuxedo. Expect to pay around $500.00 for a new Austin Reed tuxedo.

The separateness between the Austin Reed tuxedo and the Armani tuxedo comes with cost and design. Decide which style and price fits you and your budget best and make your decision on each tuxedo accordingly. - 15683
