Wedding Crashers 2011 – Brooklyn, NY
Gabe Alonso I had the pleasure of being a part of the second annual installment of Wedding Crashers. As you might assume, it’s an event centered around wedding planning, but if I may so myself – The grooms stole the show.

I know you may be thinking, “Hey Gabe, why the heck should I care about a wedding event? I’m not getting married!” But in reality, I just want to point out a couple things about the second annual Wedding Crashers. First, the suiting and accessories options. The gentlemen behind the new, Brooklyn-based Ovadia & Sons were nice enough to let us borrow some absolutely incredible suits and shirts. Now, I can tell you right now these suits are crazy expensive (the one I wore was $1k+). However, it is by far the most comfortable, well-fitting suit I’ve ever worn. I understand now why people say they feel like a million bucks in designer clothes. I felt like Superman. It was amazing! But since I know these suits are out of most of our price ranges, I just wanted to showcase them here for some inspiration if you’re a daily suit wearer (or if you happen to be a groom-to-be). All our accessories came from Graham Withers or Fine and Dandy Shop (ties and pocket squares).
The other reason is to highlight the man in the middle of the above picture. His name is James Jean and he’s the incredible men’s stylist that put together all our looks for the event. He just launched his own style consultancy, Classe by JFK Jean, so if you or someone you know is looking for a person with skills give him a call. He also runs the blog, The Modernist Revival, and has my personal stamp of approval. He’ll have you looking great before you can say, “John Galliano likes to rant anti-semitic remarks in Parisian bars.”
Oh, and the bit about the grooms stealing the show? We kept the after party poppin’, dapper as hell in our sweet ass suits. I think it was mostly because none of us wanted to take them off. We felt like ballers.
