Should I buy a poly/cotton tuxedo shirt or a 100% cotton tuxedo shirt?

The difference is very clear. A 100% cotton shirt looks and feels great, if anything get the fabric that feels the best. We strongly would recommend the 100% cotton shirt. Although for the price the poly/ cotton will do its purpose.

What is the difference between "adjustable" and "non-adjustable" tuxedo pants?

What is the difference between worsted wool, Super 100s wool, Super 110s wool, and Super 120s wool?

The worsted wool tuxedo is the most popular fabric that is sold. Most tuxedos that you see in tuxedo formal wear shops are made of worsted wool. Worsted wool has 60-75 threads per square inch. The Super 100s, Super 110s and Super 120s contain that many threads per square inch, and therefore they are much softer fabrics. A Super 120 wool tuxedo is simply the best quality tuxedo you can buy.

Do I really need to buy the patent leather shoes?

Do you have any advice on taking correct measurements?

You should have your measurements taken at a formalwear store. Tuxedo's sometimes fit a little different than traditional suits. Measurements are almost always a curtousy service.

How do I know if I am a Short, Regular, Long, or Extra Long?

5 feet 4inches to 5 feet 7inches = Short
5 feet 7 1/2 inches to 5 feet 11 inches = Regular
5 feet 11 1/2 inches to 6 feet 2 1/2 inches = Long
6 feet 3 inches and up = Extra Long
Please note that this is only a guide. For example, quite often a gentleman will be 6 feet tall, and feel more comfortable with a Regular. Always wear what you are most comfortable in.
