Tom Ford tuxedo pants

[Dw3610wm]

Hey guys I kopped myself some black Tom Ford tuxedo pants, and now need a jacket to match, obviously I can't buy another jacket unless its the same black which is almost impossible to find- Is my only option to get a completely different formal jacket to match? Like a nice maroon or petro velvet jacket? How Much will Mr. Ford ask for, to just buy the Tuxedo jacket?

Let me know...

Pick up a cream dinner jacket

Go for the Bond "Dr. No" look with a white shawl collar.

Ithink cream is a great choice of jacket please tell me moar suggestions. Also white shirt and black bow tie with the cream?

Personally I'd suggest a dark velvet dinner jacket.

Silly decision if you wanted a full evening dress.

You could wear a white coat or else a velvet one However both will be out of place at most functions unless you are
a) eccentric (Velvet) or
b) live somewhere warm

Cut your losses and buy a full suit instead.

Bond never wore a white shawl collar dinner jacket, but that's the best thing you can wear with a lone pair of black tie trousers.

Maybe he's conflating the dinner jackets from Dr. No and Goldfinger, but either way I agree that a cream jacket is his best bet.

Mr. Ford will ask a lot for anything. But I like his stuff!

And make sure it fits you basically perfectly, or you'll look silly.

These. I'd personally go with the velvet dinner jacket most seasons (make sure it's well tailored, so you don't look like a dope), and a white jacket in the summer (similar case here).

If I had a black tie ensemble, I'd be repping a dark blue velvet dinner jacket at every event. As SFers, it's our right to stand out
