Hat with a tuxedo?

Also, light grey and grey basiclly according to my book is for day time affairs only. JP, are you refering to Monte Cristo, or which count? This guy on the cover has good style: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0439580366/qid=1131566675/sr=8-4/ref=pd_bbs_4/102-8854745-1891356?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Count Dracula is who I was referring to. That cape just does nothing for me. It is theatrical at best.
Yes, gray is a less formal color. They also had white tuxedos in the teens for day time affairs in spring and summer . The fellow in the background of this catalog print is wearing what I am trying to explain:

These are referred to in the catalog as, front to background, Formal, Tuxedo, Cutaway Frock and Summer. I'll take one of each please.

Regards to all,
