I think the confusion on that may be that the last hunt was looking for multiple closure buttons. A one button jacket in this case isn't referring to just one closure button, but one front button period, like this:

And your one button tux jacket looks just like a 4 button jacket.
Youre both right.

Here goes....
My name didn't come out clear in all the pics but some of them you can zoom in and read it. Next time I'll use marker.

Solid black silk ties
Not to pile on.....but rather just to pile on.

How do we know those aren't polyester, since it seems 99% of the black ties are.

I took 6 pictures of the black silk tie for evidence. It's difficult to capture: 1. Solid black front, 2. Price tag, 3. 100% silk tag, 4. Scavenger hunt id photo, 5. evidence of being at a thrift. in one photo.

How do I know from this picture that there's no design just on the front, I've seen many such ties?

Funny, I thought something similar about your blackwatch photo. I could duplicate that picture in my closet.
