It looks great in white and in my opinion would look all the better on Mafoofan if he were to smile in his picture. A glazed drunken grin imparts a certain joie de vivre when one is well clothed in a tuxedo.

I think it sounds devine! I love DB's and I feel as though a shawl lapel is exquisite so the two combined gets two thumbs waaaaay up from me!

No, because a Drapist is someone who thinks they've rediscovered something superior and believes the fact that no one else wants it or has wanted it for the past 75 years is only further proof of its exclusivity and appeal to the select, tasteful few.

I don't think clothies are restricted to clothing message boards, I know that I am in the presence of one when i detect one or more items that only someone fascinated with clothes would select.
