A dinner jacket typically has a "self" lapel (meaning same fabric as the jacket). A silk lapel would make it lovely, but a tux jacket- not dinner jacket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044956066269410247.post-41296243110264746232011-12-13T15:51:22.974+11:002011-12-13T15:51:22.974+11:00I agree with David, a satin lapel on a white dinne...I agree with David, a satin lapel on a white dinner jacket, is somewhat of a fashion faux pas. Traditionally it would be a wool peak lapel, or shawl collar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044956066269410247.post-9752349915853494822011-12-01T18:47:48.271+11:002011-12-01T18:47:48.271+11:00I love my blog - that people like david marlboroug...I love my blog - that people like david marlborough who would know such specific and interesting information might find it and leave comments. Thank you David. However, I have to disagree with you about white dinner jackets and silk. I have a white dinner jacket with a silk lapel and it looks amazing and sometimes I think it is okay to break away from tradition. Please stay in contact with the blog. I greatly appreciate your insights.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947800134556228705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044956066269410247.post-73003100223174152882011-11-22T00:23:17.390+11:002011-11-22T00:23:17.390+11:00The dress shirt is from Frank Foster of London and...The dress shirt is from Frank Foster of London and is made from a voile cotton. Foster made shirts for Roger Moore since the final “Saint” series in 1968. The jacket was made by Douglas Hayward the tailor who made Moore's suits etc from For Your Eyes Only onwards. <br /><br />A white (or ivory in this case) dinner jacket need not have a silk covering on the lapel. It can do but it must not.<br /><br />Finally, I'm not sure about the "always looking dapper" thing. Roger Moore (ditto Connery and Brosnan) definitely did but others like Dalton and the awful current incumbent, I'm not so sure about.david marlboroughnoreply@blogger.com
