As for formality in general, I think it's...
But who are the clothing snobs?
We are at a point in history much like the time in the late 19th and early 20th century when the dinner suit/tuxedo usurped the tailcoat. In both cases the standard eveningwear had become entirely static, the exact requirements agreed-upon with virtually no...
Even more so in the teens and 20s, too. Not only would you see suits marketed as coming with multiple styles of trousers (long trousers, breaches, plus-fours, etc.) but coats could be worn with odd trousers perfectly legitimately.
I think the current fashion "faux pas" of pairing of a suit...
I would think the more important qualification would be that it is a boot or worn with spats. I'm not sure I've ever seen a vintage photo or illustration of morning dress being worn with shoes.

For the adventurers or reenactors, a Russian/Soviet WW2-style wrist compass with strap, made in Bulgaria. This type of compass was worn by Soviet officers during WW2. The lever on the side locks the compass needle in place or frees it to check your bearings. Luminescent tips to the compass...
Interesting reproduction M1839 U.S. Army enlisted field cap or "wheel hat." This type of cap was used from 1839 through the Mexican War and even by some in the Civil War. It has a leather visor and chinstrap, and a havelock that buttons at the sides and ties in front, and can be folded down...
A nice white summer cap in 100% linen. Maker is unknown, but it is a modern-made cap I bought some years ago. Cap has a full-cut crown for a 1920s-40s style. Gently used condition, some discoloration to the sweatband but no damage or staining to the outside visible areas. Size is a U.S. 7...
