'Casual' Tux Jacket Look

[Brianpore]

I found tux jacket at the local thrift. Really nice J Press and felt bad leaving it, BUT have no clue how to wear it out as the pants were no where to be found. 1 Button, Peak Lapel (satin), unvented. Any pictures or suggestions of how to rock this

Thanks!

Any chance you could find separate tuxedo trousers that would harmonize with it (e.g., JAB separates) well enough to comprise a real-deal functional tux?

Yes there are great deals at thrift stores on suits, a man buys or has made a new suit wears it once or twice and it ends up at the thrift store. Which leads me to this question I have a Ratner suit jacket (dark gray pinstripe) very nice, I no longer have the matching pants can this jacked be worn with other pants?

No one should be wearing mismatched tuxedo pants/jacket to black tie events. People will be able to tell. There is a reason these items are in a thrift store and haven't sold at $10.

If you feel like using the jacket somewhere else ( someone suggested out to a club, im assuming as a joke) then I guess you should go for it, if you think you can pull it off.

I wasn't joking

I wasn't joking

I assumed you were joking because you mentioned having 16 buttons undone. I suppose it could work if you have the confidence to pull it off.

Yeah, that was a bit of an exaggeration... heh
