JBarwick has a good idea to post up a pick here beforehand, but also a lot depends on what the dress code is and what everyone else will be wearing. You already know the bridal party will be in dark colours, but if everyone else is in navy and charcoal, and you have a cream jacket, you will stand out too much.

Originally posted by ryn View PostI looked up Air Force dress blues to be certain. They are navy, or at least a dark blue. Which is pretty conservative, it is possible that they may be wearing mess dress, which is the military version of a tux, but if it is service dress, then it is the equivalent of wearing a navy suit. Now if you wear the outfit you suggested, you won't be to formal, but you will draw a lot of attention to yourself.

I just picked up this Drake's tie from No Man Walks Alone. I've never owned or even seen in person a Drake's tie before, but I now understand the hype. The material on this thing just feels luxurious - and the color is pretty incredible (despite being a little Joker-esque).
Also, I have to say that No Man Walks Alone was a great online shopping experience with super fast shipping and very high quality packaging. I haven't bought anything from them before because their stuff tends to be higher end items than I'm typically in the market for, but I'm glad I did this time.

Originally posted by believe0101 View PostHmm, my alternate outfit was grey chinos / grey tie / white pocket square, keeping the brown shoes and linen blazer (90+ degrees in Arizona in mid-May means that's the only hope I have in terms of a jacket). By "standing out too much" are you referring to the pocket square & tie with the cream blazer, or the blazer only? Here's an idea of how cream-colored it is, which is to say, very.

Picked up an LBM 1911 unstructured cotton, patch pocket blazer in a washed indigo shade from Nordstrom Rack yesterday. Looks like this, but blue.
Price was right (on clearance!), no money out of pocket (birthday gift card!), and it fits beautifully off the rack (high button stance and cropped tail!). Looking forward to wearing it on some cooler days.
