I have just mastered tailor, but am still in the research stage as far as production is concerned. I have what to most of you will seem like a really stupid question, I'm sure. Many of the shirts appear to be women's blouses. Can a man wear these shirts?I assume that if a man attempts to wear one of these, it would conform to his body.
I ask this mainly because a male guildmate has asked me to produce a suit for him that looks like a tuxedo. Try as I might, I don't see any appropriate schematics for this. I was thinking about making the suit jacket, but don't want to offer him a shirt with bosoms! Since he has also asked me to make him a couple of rings, I suspect he may have special plans for this "tuxedo" and sure wouldn't want to spoil his chances of success by sending him out in the world looking like a cross-dresser.
Any advice on what I should make for him?

All the "models" are female, so they will all have "bosoms" - don't worry, the male wearing it will not. Obviously the bustiers/bikinis are not wearable by males. The dress blouse and the flared cuff shirts are also female-only, as is the flared jacket. The rest are mostly good. Anyone have suggestions for the tux? My preference is the suit shirt (shows up with a tie when worn by a guy) pilot's jacket, comfortable slacks, and dress shoes.

This site has a nice catalog with most restrictions listed by the item.

There are also many of the robes, and even some dresses, that are wearable by males and look very different than on a female model. Justchange the "dress" name, make them in dark colors,and the guys will buy and wear them.
An example.......I sell all black Doctors Dresses that are renamed as Teras Kasi Suits. On the guys, they look a lot like Neos outfit in The Matrix. I can't keep em in stock.
You might try to get one of your PA friends to model for ya in exchange for some clothes. That would be a good way to see the results first hand.
Good luck with it.....

Basic tux that I make is a suit shirt, comfotable slacks, black dress shoes and I have three jackets that I offer. I use either a black pilot's jacket for a waist length, a black cold weather jacket for over the hip length, and a black specs ops jacket...well because some people just like it. 
It really just depends on the person you're making it for. Anyway, hope that helps.

I like to use the strpied slacks or pants. Make them a shade less then the darkest black and make the stripe darker. Most tux pants have a black stripe on them
