I'm dying to go to Queen of the Night.
It's food and sex, plus you get to wear a tux. What's better than that?

I couldn't find the colour version of the picture below, but in it you would see that Noel Coward's dinner suit is of brown velvet, trousers included.

I have seen this suit in person. IIRC, it is a polyester based brown worsted, not velvet.
I saw this post on Ethan Newton's blog recently:

I really like the shape of the shawl lapels, and it's also nice to a DB jacket with shawl lapels. The turnback cuffs are an interesting touch, and hark back to an earlier time.
The Duke of Windsor had many jackets with turnback cuffs, including several odd dinner suits (e.g. lord of isle green tartan dinner suit). Prince Charles also spot some form time to time
I don't believe I've ever seen turnback cuffs on a jacket before.
Very cool.
