Anybody have a good tailor in Phnom Penh who can make some wedding threads for me?

I doubt they have tux rentals here like in USA.

Off the rack is ok too ...

A lot of people do actually rent the wedding attires. At least in Siem Reap that was the case, and I suspect it is the same in PP. Now whether you will find any quality threads is another question.

Isn’t your wedding on 24th?

Maybe you should have started looking prior to 5 days before the ceremony.
You can rent clothing, but it’s mostly crap - if they even have your size they likely wont have a set of matching jacket and trousers.

Go to Zando and try to get a couple of pairs of trousers and a few shirts. You’re unlikely to get a suit that fits you at this stage.

So about 10 days ago you said you'd completed no paperwork nor undertaken and of the tests or interviews required to have a recognised marriage in Cambodia yet you believe it is in a few days? I think PSD-Kiwi outlined the overly convoluted procedure which would take several weeks longer than the time frame you sem to be operating on even if the future wife and family were covering all the bases as you thought.
Ate you sure you're not just a show pony at a family members birthday party or maybe your own official engagement party?

Everyone needs to understand that you cannot take this individual seriously about anything. He has a vivid imagination and likes to spew it here. Whether he is getting married or not may just be one of his many fabled tales he is telling here.

Thanks for all the advice and even the criticisms too ... I do think this is a show wedding ... not official ... but we can sort out the paperwork later ... got lucky, went out on a bike ride and visited 3 places in my neighborhood ... third one was the charm ... they measured me up and are on the job ... even can meet the Saturday afternoon deadline. Whew ...

I believe NKOTB might also be able to offer some insights into wedding attire, what not to not wear, how not to not wear it, etc.
What about your dress blues?

(For what it’s worth, this is hazing)

Dress blues are in storage in Murrieta. Maybe for the USA wedding. For the morning portion, wife rented the traditional clothes. I don't mind the hazing ... I am sure it's all in good fun.
