Bay Pointe Golf Club sits on Middle Straits Lake with a wedding pergola and rooms behind it that take anything from 50 guests to 500. Big or small, the photograph at the pergola asks one thing of the men with you, and it isn’t the price of the suits. It’s whether nine men look like one party.
Why they usually don’t
Nine men buy nine navies in nine stores and every navy is a different navy. One is a blue, one is nearly black, one has a sheen. In daylight, at the water, that reads as nine guests who happened to stand together. The fix isn’t expensive. It’s one rack.
One rack, one order
A party that comes in together goes on one order, and one order matches down to the dye lot; ask about group pricing for parties of five or more. Rent or buy, the men who live out of town send their measurements and are fitted when they get here. Nobody on our floor is on commission, so nobody’s steering your cousin toward a purchase he doesn’t need.
The wind
There’s usually wind at a pergola. A jacket that fits through the shoulder stays put; a jacket bought a size up flaps like a flag in every frame. Each man is fitted to his own shoulders, and nine hems get pinned the same afternoon.
