One of our dancers is of Chinese heritage and wore his silk chinese jacket to our recent ball. It is about the length of a tux jacket. I respect him for honoring his heritage, and the jacket was beautiful, but in truth, the length made the whole thing look wrong. It covered his sporan and hung too low on the pleats to allow for easy movement. Go to your local tux rental outlet, or an internet site such as www.yourowntuxedo.com and buy a tail coat for about $35. Have a local seamstress convert it, and Bob's your uncle. You'll look just dandy for under $100.
