White Dinner Jacket?

[Mark Keeney]

Gosh Mark, don't you find that "choker" collar awfully uncomfortable in warm/hot weather?

It doesn't seem to bother me any more than a shirt collar and tie.

I love the white but don't care for the gold piping on the sleeves.

Mine actually has silver instead of gold.

Here's one old thread with a pic

Wally posted a pic a few months back with a black kilt and white jacket.

Bottom line I think the Humphrey Bogart tux look could translate well into a kilt if done with care.

Having seen this picture, I withdraw my suggestion of going with a Mess Jacket, and advise sticking with black. There are plenty of light-weight fabrics available with an open weave for the hot climes. Go with one of those if you are going to get it made for you.

Agreed; white jackets should, INMHO, be reserved for "East of Suez". ith:

Sure Todd, but where I live "East of Suez" extends from Easter nearly to Columbus Day!

Anyone who's a fan of Jeeves and Wooster will appreciate this little tete-a-tete over Bertie's mess jacket.

Excellent!

Apropos of the white dinner jacket/doublet discussion, here are a couple of photos of one.

If you're always holding a drink like this, or always dancing, I like the look. Quite festive.

Then by your logic a white dinner jacket would be just the thing for me
