    Best leather for a three-season "dress" boot

    Prince Charles single-breasted jacket

    Ok, well here's Fred Astaire wearing a notch lapel tux at an awards ceremony in '81. Although I'm sure you'll say that award ceremonies aren't acceptable either, or that '81 is too modern, or that Fred Astaire doesn't know what he's doing, etc.
