UD | The Thing Your Tux Needs Is...

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 12/09/13   Back in Black Tie Next-Leveling Your Holiday Tux There’s more to wearing a tux than... just wearing a tux. Keep that in mind this holiday season. And while reviewing this collection of black-tie-appropriate enhancements. Including, you know, a black tie.     FOR THE DANCE PARTY Some Comfortable Velvet Slippers   So you want a tux shoe you can move in. Maybe do the running man in. For that: you go to Ovadia & Sons. Who go to England. Where they import these handmade velvet slippers with a quilted padded liner and silk ribbon trim. Those Brits know what they’re doing.   411: Black Velvet Royal Albert Slippers, step to it here     FOR THE COCKTAIL PARTY These’ll Start a Conversation...   There are lots of good, honest, hardworking cufflinks out there. But not too many of them were forged with precision by a machine that’s typically used to make aerospace parts. These are. And we’re happy to report that they go great with a crisp, white tuxedo shirt. Or a hand holding a martini.   411: Jasper Brass Cufflinks, go off-the-cuff here     FOR JON VOIGHT’S PARTY A Scarf That’s Just Loud Enough   When you need to make an entrance in a room full of people wearing pretty much the same thing, you turn to the experts: Italy. And Italy answers with a silk scarf with hand-knotted tassel fringing. And then you reply with “grazie.”   411: Kelim Printed Silk Scarf, swaddle your neck in silk here     FOR THE FORMAL PARTY Of Course, You’ll Need a Black Tie   Black-tie option 1A: a black tie. Black-tie option 1B: this subtle, made-in-America silk-and-wool bow tie from Billy Reid with a sharp touch of pinstripe. Hey, if it works for the Yankees...   411: Classic Black Bow Tie, tie one on here     FOR THE ROYAL PARTY This Pin Belonged to a King   King Edward VII. You may not remember him. Which means you probably don’t recall that he had an enamel lapel pin commissioned in the early 1900s that was encrusted with rose diamonds. It’s up for auction now. And hopefully on your tuxedo jacket by Christmas.   411: Enamel-and-Diamond Lapel Pin, get the royal treatment here Sure, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a cool smartphone with a 13-megapixel camera and a 5.7-inch HD screen. But, like Batman, it works best with a sidekick: the Galaxy Gear keeps the text and email notifications coming right to your wrist. Teamwork is a beautiful thing.   UrbanDaddy is pure editorial.
