I've been to a wedding at the Tuxedo Park Club in Tuxedo Park, New York, where what folks in the UK call a dinner jacket is supposed to have derived its name. I was kilted in the wedding party, while the rest of the group wore tuxedos. The groom specified that an Argyll jacket, worn in this case with black tie accoutrements, was the most appropriate jacket...

A yes Jock, we did get a bit derailed there, eh? At the wedding I mentioned above, the groom wore the same tuxedo as the rest of the group but a different coloured waistcoat and tie.
