Edward said:CharlestonBows: Those Jay Pratts look lovely, especially the double-breasted model (in black it is, from memory, very remisicent of one that Raul Julia wore in one (both?) of the Addams Family films from the early 90s. Good prices too.... I may well take advantage of the strong pound vs dollar there....

That is what they call a tuxedo (not white tie and tails, but a normal, dinner-jacket style tux).BellyTank said:Guess what?
In most of Northern Europe, a Tuxedo is called "Smoking", yes, the English word.
So on an invitation, it might mention "Smoking" as the dress code.
This could easily cause confusion between Smoking jackets and Tux's.

Very confusing!
I always think of "smoking jackets" as being the short version of a dressing gown (that is the proper terminology for a fancy robe BTW), and those velvet blazers? All they say to me is 1970s disco. I have yet to see a blazer in velvet or velveteen from the pre-WWII era, maybe they made them in the 50s and beyond? Since I hate the 50s with a passion, I have no idea.
Also , it looks to me as though Cary is not wearing a smoking jacket in the end-of-movie shot. Probably the character didn't know earlier in the film, that he would be seen daytime and outside smoking - and Cary Grant was far too correct a dresser to ever be seen in the wrong thing at the wrong time. So he is wearing a sport coat.
I still like the longer version better - here's mi amor in his dressing gown, on the Queen mary... yes, i bought it for him, and the pajamas! Now I need to find him the right slippers...

I've got one from my own joint in blue velvet, and I have one in black velvet from Jay Pratts. Not terribly expensive, and not bad make, either.

If there are people on this forum who have successfully used Jay Pratts to obtain a smoking jacket, I congratulate you. You did better than me.
