filfoster said:Where is the tux in all this, which by the way, seems spot on? It's not tails and somewhat more than a dinner jacket isnt' it?
Miss 1929 said:"Tux" is short for Tuxedo, which is slang for dinner jacket. NOT tails, but suit length, either SB, DB, black or white, all these are dinner jackets.

Mr Eames said:Hello All,
I would certainly like to own a midnight blue Dinner Jacket, as innovated by the Duke of Windsor, I believe.

Own both a white tie and a black tie outfit.
I'm guessing it's rather uncommon in a 21 year old like myself.
Do you get to wear white tie much?
A. Sagner & Sons, which was based in Baltimore, marketed itself as a "value" brand with low prices. Below is an advertisement from the September 30, 1940 issue of Life, advertising suits for $25.
There's an abandoned clothing factory in downtown Baltimore, Lebow I think. When they closed down it looks like they just abandoned the place complete with the clothes.
PS - Don't own a tux yet. Last time I wore one I was 16 and it was my mother's wedding to my stepfather. I'll be putting one together later this year though as I have a felling it's going to be needed for a couple events I'm going to attend.
