I think this Mr. Sator shouldn't be so scared of history and try to look for the origins of the word "forum". It isn't the person that build it whom dictates the discussion, nor is it the person that paid for it, it is the people whom have the final word in choosing the topic of discussion...
Apologies for the misplacement.
Can anyone give some more information on the front pleats?
Would it be similar to this jacket?
What happens to the pleat on the back, or does it go into the shoulder seam?
To me the pockets seem to be rounded, pleated and flapless. Any thoughts?
I also imagine...
I recently stumbled across this beautiful picture of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. I've rather fallen for his Jacket and more so for the way he wears it. I'd figure the Lounge would have some more info and pictures of this or a similar style jacket.

I went shopping yesterday and bought some fabric.
I hope this will do, total price was $100
Black grosgrain satin
Midnight Blue wool (not quite sure of the weave)
3th fabric is for a pair of plus-fours and waistcoat.
It should be ready by new years eve.
I tried my best with...
Wow, so many responses, thanks for all the help.
To the gentlemen claiming I should buy a vintage dinner jacket:
1. Whatever you say or do, off the rack suits will never ever fit as good as bespoke, impossible, the main reason I never wear it.

I didn't know the two were possible, it's so hard to see in pictures.
Anyway, the duke of windsor had his with black lapels, so I think I'll have it that way.
with kind regards

Feraud: thanks for those picture, I really like the lapels on that first picture, so much better then on the picture I've posted.
anon': I am far too young to be wearing opera pumps, I think I'll just look for a nice calfskin oxford, so I can wear it with other suits as well. What do you mean...
I am quite aware of the black tie guide and spend some time researching this. But it seams there aren't too many details on midnight blue dinner jackets.
I've posted this thread because there may be things I haven't thought about, little details that usually make the suit stand out in...
I'm thinking about having a dinner jacket made.
Midnight blue
shawl lapels
single breasted
1 button
This is my first dinner jacket and I want to really stand out, I hate formal parties where everyone is wearing cheap looking suits.
I'm hoping for some tips from the more experienced...
Interesting, and a very nice jacket you posted there. It's almost exactly how I want mine, the only thing I would change is the seam between the lapel and the collar. I think it should be equal in length to the peak, or smaller.
Another question for you guys: Does a double breasted suit need...
