Well, I was not aware that the DJ was commonly worn at all in the pre-WWI era. That was a time when tails ruled.
Didn't David, as in Prince of Wales, King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, sport a tailcoat with a black vest? I have the impression he did.
^Actually, it was a midnight blue tailcoat and matching vest. It is illustrated on page 88 of Storey's History of Men's Fashion[./I] It was made for him by Scholte in 1938.
I have no doubt that your research is all solid, but I really can't agree that white tie with a DJ is still correct. It's been nearly 100 years. There is a solid social expectation that DJ = black tie and tailcoat = white tie. And there is no other ground for what is correct or not other than social expectation.

I cannot help but find that Manton is correct. I mean, you can't wear a white tie with, ahh, black tie.
Well I have done my part, I have worn white tie several times but I bet I never will have occasion to again. I think it's a dead form at this point.
