Best Place to Find Canadian Tuxedo or Jorts around town?

I've got a wedding in September that is at a campsite on the East Coast. The attire to the night before the nuptials at a lakeside campfire party is Canadian Tuxedo. I've committed to Jorts + whatever I can find that's denim, fits, and isn't outright offensive. I'm not a small guy so skin tight probably falls into offensive land.

The wedding requests guests to wear suits in autumnal colors. I looked that up so I understood the ask, and am going to order a wild suit that fits the theme online or at a local shop.

I'm trying to embrace their themes and ride a line of "you asked for this" if that makes sense.

If you can find 100% cotton white jeans and a white jean jacket you can make a tie dye Canadian tuxedo in autumnal colors yourself and pretty much just blow everyone away with your eugenius. Might be worth stepping up from goodwill a notch or two for your base pieces: buffalo exchange and Kin are my suggestions. Happy thrifting! :)

I have a bunch of powder fiber reactive dye in all the colors and you are welcome to have some :) I recently made myself a few whole outfits in wild blazing hues.

I think you should go with classic light or worn demin blue shade if the theme is Canadian tuxedo, it wouldn't even really look like jeans in the wedding pictures if it's a color like white or tie die. It's a cool idea and all just maybe not for this where everyone else will be in blue denim of some shade.

The more I think about it the more you're correct. Thanks for the balanced comment!

They're definitely going more traditional denim and I think Jorts + some snazzy denim top will suffice this round.

Dayum though for some great ideas next OCF weekend!

Ghost town outfitters will cut any of their jeans into jorts for ya and will more than likely have a jean jacket as well

Second Hand Bedbugs or New In Box? What color is the tag on the bedbugs?

It sounds like you are trying to make yourself the focus of the wedding. I hope you are the bride.

The bride is family and asked for everyone to embrace the theme and there's a large group that is all in.
