If I disobey an order, do I get a shpanking?
There is no spanking in military, but if you disobey my orders, I am sure I can come up with other punishments methods and ideas

High fashion formal wear does not equal wearing a tuxedo. Waiters wear tuxedos. Guests should wear proper formal attire.
There are suits specifically designed and cut for weddings, i.e., like mine. You wear them once and then throw them away if you're the groom. They could be Armani, Canali, Hugo Boss, etc. Wedding suits are cut longer and higher than the regular suit...most people just rent a tuxedo because they're cut the same way and for some reason that just became the norm. Somewhere along the way, tuxedos somehow became synonymous with formal wear of guests and hosts and not just the help. Mess Dress Uniforms are exempt, as they are a military formal wear tradition. They look like tuxedos but they're not.
Another thing that needs to be addressed is the abhorrent American style of wearing a really nice formal top/three-piece suit and then just letting the pants bunch up around the ankles like you're wearing blue jeans. It's a huge feaux pas and looks like you ran out of money at the tailor while they were hemming the pants' legs. The bottom cuff should barely touch the top of the bottom part of the shoe, and when you sit down it should raise enough in order to see your socks, WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY YOU DON'T WEAR WHITE SOCKS IN NICE PANTS. Every time I see some douchebag who looks like he can't dress himself properly, these two things are usually the first signs of someone out of their element: pants bunched up around the ankles and white socks. Ugh.

My British friend almost flipped his shit when he saw a man come in wearing a top hat, tuxedo with tails, buttonhole, and a black bowtie.
A BLACK BOWTIE.
A horrible faux pas, indeed.

FACT: 95% of men do not know how to properly buy and wear suits. It's s shame really, because nothing is hotter than a man in a good suit that fits him like a glove, but alas... 95% of you just don't know how to wear one.

EXACTLY.
You can't just put on a suit and say it fits because the pants fit you. The cuffs have to be of a certain length when you hold your arms out like Frankenstein or a zombie, not too short but not too long as well. Where they fall with your hands by your side is usually irrelevant as long as they're correct with your arms outstretched. You shouldn't be able to reach above your head comfortably in a jacket...it's not worn for practical use. They are not meant to be buttoned completely; it's not a military uniform. The pants should be worn across the navel and should always be worn with a belt lined up with your gig line, that is, the edge of the belt should be perfectly in line with your shirt and your fly, making one seamless line from your neck to your crotch. If you're wearing a necktie, it shouldn't go any further than the bottom of your belt. A black bow tie is typically frowned upon unless you're trying to look like The Penguin or a waiter, or unless you're in military mess dress...then it's just part of the uniform. The pants should fall just above the top of the bottom of your shoes while standing and your socks should go with either your tie or your shoes (if it's black). Brown shoes are a serious no-no unless you're wearing a grey or blue suit.
It sounds like a bunch of fashion victim bullshit but it couldn't be further from the truth. It's proper dress etiquette, much like how you eat at the table. Napkin in your lap, left hand in your lap, use your knife only to cut each bite you eat, then put down the knife, change hands with the fork, eat, then start the process all over again.
Of course, there are certain etiquettes for different cultures, but this is typical western anglo-saxon etiquette we're talking about.

I don't do suits. However, I've been rocking my Harris Tweed everywhere I go lately. I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard.
