Good day, I'm thinking of having this jacket made to measure: Would this work for black tie? It is available in 19 different colors of velvet. Ignore the length I can specify the measurements. Rondo
I would think it would be great for black-tie.
KILTED LABOWSKI "I imagine a place of brotherhood and peace, a world without war. Then I imagine attacking that place because they would never expect it.
If you are going to do this, have a three button waistcoat made at the same time.
Silly question, as we are on a kilt forum, but the cut of the jacket has thrown me so do you mean to go with Highland dress or "Saxon" (for want of a better word) dress? If the later then it would be very much the less formal end of blacktie such as dinner in the country at a friend's ancestral pile.
Lime, The jacket is made to measure. It can be had in a length suitable for a kilt. Rondo
Certainly unusual and should cause a stir at a "black tie" event. Red tie perhaps?

Ignore the length I can specify the measurements. Rondo Not to dissuade you from your purchase, but the image (presumably from "makeyourownjeans" or "studiosuits") is not of their product. It's an image of a Hugo dinner jacket that has had the shirt and trouser colour doctored (darkened) and a watermark added over the top. I'd personally be wary of any vendor not using pics of their own product. ith:

I have another jacket from this vendor which I presume is an original that worked out well. I'm just here putting things out trying to get as much information as possible before committing to the next purchase. Thanks. Rondo Edit: I have removed the vendor from my list of clothiers. Regardless of the quality of past purchases from them, I do not knowingly buy from people that steal intellectual property from other people. The search continues.
