Usually, I subscribe more to the "study and start with the rules" camp, but I'm contemplating what what many of you might consider a mortal sin of semi-formal wear: breaking up a tuxedo and pairing with jeans. Here are the specifics:
Midnight blue shawl collar tuxedo jacket with no vents, jetted pockets and black satin lapel/buttons/pocket lining, bespoke.
White band/Henley collared shirt with French front (no placket). I think this is actually the piece that might pull it all together. Its lack of collar prohibits me from wearing a tie, and leaving the top two buttons undone will help dress down the jacket. This item is also bespoke.
Black jeans, slim fit.
Navy suede loafers from Zegna, to be worn with no-show socks.
I'm curious to hear feedback. The setting is my 35th birthday party at a somewhat nice bar in the evening. I should add that it's in San Francisco, where most men go to bars wearing Patagonia puffies or a hoodie. I don't want to be too over-the-top, but something about breaking a couple of rules appeals to me for this occasion.
