I'm wanting to buy a nice western suit and I don't know where to start. Something really nice and maybe a little on the flashy side. Any suggestions in the D/FW area?

I'm going to a movie premiere in LA and I thought why the hell not. Its either that, a kilt, or just a plain light grey suit.
What movie? That sounds cool.
Boots with a normal suit would work

Is your wife going to be wearing a costume to her movie's premiere too? If not, I'd say you're better off with the grey suit and doing your best to be arm candy rather than the show. Either be a show together or be classy together, don't clash.

She has said I'm fine to wear whatever. FWIW, I already own two formal kilts as I am half Scottish. Plus there is no way I could possibly show off more than all of the drag queens in attendance.

Go to the Mexican side of D/FW, wherever that may be.
What's the book?
I'm actually curious to read it. You know it's true because I didn't ask you to post pics of her fun bags.

If you're wanting to show off your Texas heritage, I'd suggest going with the Davy Crockett, Defender of the Alamo garb:
This is no more absurd than wearing a kilt, so go all out.

I'd call around some suit shops and ask. Post a pic of what you want
This what you are talking about?

That just looks like a suit with a bolo tie. Maybe get a slim suit made, get a new bolo tie, have a shirt made with button holes and get some cowboy themed cuff links. Wear your boots and maybe get a nice hat from a higher end hatter, too.
I bought a couple of nice suits in Valentine and Saint Denis. You could try there

Just so Gangster Octopus' post makes sense:

Getcha nice pair of cayman's from Little's Boots in San Mexico. Lead time is 13 months.
Check some nicer resale vintage shops. They were more of a common style through the height of the mid 80s show Dallas. There should be some 30 yr old ones out there in decent shape.
As a female, I think you'd look much cooler in a kilt than in a western suit. And you'd be in great company: Sean Connery, Gerard Butler, Ewan McGregor, and even Tom Selleck. Who the hell wears a western suit? Maybe Billy Bob Thornton?

I don't know where you live or what stores are there, but have you looked at Shepler's website?nai06 said:Matsui said:

Just googling "western wear suit" produced results.
Any Cavender's or Boot Barn out to have some blazers you could try on.

Got to have haunting, haunting eyes to pull it off correctly.
