somebody said black is reserved for formal wear only, but i believe dior homme makes black suits which are not necessarily formal ones.

Nobody is disputing the existence of informal black suits, only the propriety of wearing them. I don't see why it should be such an all-or-nothing issue. Wearing a black suit to a formal event looks tacky, but wearing one at a trendy bar or club shouldn't raise eyebrows. (Full disclosure: I own both a black suit and dinner attire).
As for the original question, did anyone suggest ebay yet? It would be nice to get a canvased jacket; I'm assuming that Jos A Banks number is fused...

No chunky calfskin shoes for formal wear. l personally wear black patent pumps with a peaked lapel tux with one button. This is much more traditional. lf you are going to wear conventional shoes, make sure the sole is leather and very thin.
