The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
I have a bespoke one from Steed based on one he (Edwin) designed for Voxsartoria which was itself based on a vintage double breasted Anderson & Shepherd white tie waistcoat done for Fred Astaire. Hence Edwin calls it the Astaire, I believe. I’ve photographed and posted it in this thread before...- Mark from Plano

The only addition I would have to your list would be the Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece (their upper end line). I have a couple of them and they’ve served me well. In a couple of cases I’ve taken them to my shirt maker to copy certain aspects of the style for my custom dinner shirts. My guess is...- Mark from Plano

They are practically mandatory on highly starched Marcella shirts used for white tie to avoid crackling of the starched fronts. I had them put on my detachable collar formal shirt. I haven’t seen them on softer fronted shirts, but it still makes some sense there as well.- Mark from Plano

Not entirely. Just a thought. Red are recommended as an alternative in ‘Dressing the Man’ I believe. But it might be a bridge too far in this case. Plus, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has exercised veto power over the insignia slippers. I’ll likely go with plain black.- Mark from Plano

I don’t think it makes much difference really. Your choice. If it’s a true midnight you won’t notice much difference. My last tux I had both a midnight (the color of the tux) and a black pair made. I tend to wear the black pair with alternate dinner jackets mainly to reduce wear on the main...- Mark from Plano
