Patience and saved searches are your friends when searching for something specific like a tuxedo. For example, search “Vintage tuxedo (your jacket size).” See what’s out there now, and be sure to save the search, which will then update you every 24h on the app with new arrivals that fall under that search. Secondly, take the measurements of a tailored jacket that you have that you like and compare them to the measurements on an eBay listing, ensuring a fit you like. A tuxedo should be a more classic fit than business suits or sport coats. Look for classic proportions (sizable lapel, slightly longer jacket length, high rise pants) and classic details (satin lapel, jetted pockets, pants with a satin side stripe). Patience is key, don’t be discouraged if you don’t find something on your first search. Check back regularly and the right one will show itself to you eventually!
