A Dearborn wedding at the Fairlane Club has a wedding party that, more often than in most towns, works in the same building: Ford World Headquarters is up the road, so the groomsmen are colleagues before they’re friends. Men who see each other every day assume they’ll match. They don’t. Eight men who own eight navies own eight different navies, and in the ballroom photograph every one of them is a different blue.
One rack, one blue
The party comes in together on a weekday evening and dresses from one rack in one cloth. Each man is fitted on his own, which is how eight colleagues of eight different builds end up wearing one navy instead of eight. One order covers all eight; ask about group pricing for parties of five or more.
You buy, they can rent
Your suit goes to every wedding in that office for years, so buy it: half-canvassed, $300 to $500. The men beside you can rent in the same color.
The fathers
Bring them the same evening. Both fit the rack, 34 short to 70 long, portly included, and Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, pins everyone before the party leaves.
Also for Dearborn: The Two Fathers in the Plaza Ballroom. More on wedding suits, or plan your visit to our Oak Park showroom.
