You could shoot him an e-mail to discuss features/details, materials, pricing, etc.

Interesting, but the pic is kinda ugly.

At the cost ($200 just for the jacket), I imagine it would be better than a cheap rental, JAB, or any other non traditional form of white tie.

Don't know if it's better than what I have.


I just found this:

That's not formal wear and has a notch lapel. Thanks anyway!

@MusicGuy... where do your fellow musicians get their white-tie attire from?...ask them. I assume you need white-tie because you're in an orchestra?

That's a boxy black suit with satin lapels. It isn't a tux.
