I think as for a black tie event most of the outfit can be used, Personally, I would switch out the jabot for a tuxedo shirt and black bow tie. If you have not seen it yet it might help you to take a look at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread that I participated in some years ago.

Thank you so much, very helpful. I looked it over, and have one question, I noticed on the white tie that you still are wearing the belt, is this optional, as several have stated the belt and buckle should not be worn with a vest? I see the difference with the wing tip shirt, very smart, but the belt and buckle, what is the feeling on that, appears to me to be optional///
