Well, here is what happened. I found a tuxedo jacket at a Good Will for ten dollars. It is made of a very nice wool and has silky feeling lapels. However, the lapels are notched rather than peaked or shawl.

I had no idea that knotched lapels on a tuxedo are so hated by the people out there on the style forums. I kind of like them on a single breasted tux. Anyway, I will have to decide what to do with this jacket. If not convert it, then I will need to get the other parts of the tuxedo ensemble; some of which could also be used with a kilt like a waistcoat etc...

I did need to check in with what is traditional, and I'm moving back toward the MOR corduroy evening Argyle as what I would prefer. The information about the lapels and cuff materiels does help a great deal.

* I do happen to have about a square yard of black silk. It is not a corded weave, but it is also not a satin weave. If I ever find a black corduroy jacket... I know what to do. *

Thanks.
