^^Nice. Hard to beat a DB for classic style.
BTW, shaken or stirred?
I hate to go all Sator on you but you are wrong on all three counts.

Historical proof shows that notches were just as common at the genesis of the garment as peak or shawl.

Nobody suggested breaking any rules - just not sticking to the SF clique rules.
For your information I prefer a shawl but the Duke of Edinburgh prefers a notch. Each to our own.

The notch-lapel echoes the historical fact that the tuxedo began as a casual garment.
1 - My impression is that it derives from the tailcoat, which is always peak-lapeled. I'm sure this was bent early on, but as the morning coat is generally peak-lapeled as well, it's my impression that peak lapels are for formal attire. Somebody explain to me how SF invented these rules.
2 - He looks great because he is an extremely handsome man (no ****). He would look better in peak lapels. (edit: or a shawl, as the other picture shows)
3 - Again, these rules are not random and they are not SF clique. They're not even really rules as they are broken too often to be called rules. "Standard" maybe? Idk...in any case, again, I emphasize, I am not suggesting sticking with them because they are anybody's rules or suggestions. It's just what looks best, and, as a side benefit, does the most honor to the history of the garment.

"So, while I would never get a notch-lapel tuxedo (in the unlikely event I ever needed a tuxedo), I cannot say that there is an inherent "wrongness" to it or that a man otherwise well turned out and wearing a notch-lapel is ipso facto substandard in his dress."

Good if we could put this hoary old chestnut to bed. It's not wrong. It's just most of us think other options are better. I feel the same in reverse about the recent fashion for peaked lapels on SB day suits. Lots of historical precedents, and not wrong, but not an option I'd personally entertain.
It's a more casual version of a formal garment. It was never a "casual" garment. And again, my argument is not that it's "wrong". It's just never the best you'll look in a tuxedo.
