this is a joke right? The next guy I meet who used a tux 5 times or more over 10 years will be the first. In fact, most of them used a tux once, to get married. Not everyone travels in the same circles you do. Suits, yes, everybody should own a suit. A tux is a rental item for a specific purpose for the vast majority of people.

makes as much sense as stating that "all real men should own a hazmat suit"

I second the how does one get invited to these parties? Whats your connection/angle?

Guess I'm the unique one. I've been using my tux for formal parties and orchestral performances at least three to four times a year since 2006. More parties then anything else. I even own cuff-links, those black little button clips, and a pocket watch (alright my grandfather gave that to me ).

Never mind then

The place I am working at out here in Los Angeles asked if I was interested in attending and said I would need a tux to go. Sure enough that problem was already satisfied.

Well then, I guess my rant thread was rather pointless like all of my other rant threads!

Thats funny- I don't own a tux or a suit, but I do own a hazmat suit! No wonder I don't get invited to any parties (unless the building is on fire!)
