We have a problem with a candidate. He needs a 70 long jacket. It would be easier to quest for the grail.
Any ideas? Thanks! |

They sell off "retired" rental attire at bargain prices. They've been able to kit out some pretty large Brothers. Check my Lodge's posting in The Trestle Board, our Lodge Secretary knows the details regarding purchases from DuBois, his contact info is listed. Brother Grumpy |

Grumpy, that's the first place he looked. He got a nice tux for lodge. But all they had that size had satin facing on the lapels. Anybody know a seamstress or tailor? Maybe the lapels could be modified without too much grief. The satin might just be sewn over the base material and thus, be removable. Not sure what you'd find under the satin though. DuBois should have staff that can perform modifications. Every tux I ever rented had to be altered. Has the extra-large Brother looked on eBay? Goodwill? Salvation Army or other resale stores? |
