That is a lovely jacket. But am trying to stop myself buying anything that is dry clean only.

Tux jackets look good with jeans. But this one looks a bit "cheap". Tux jackets need to look expensive imho

that one is most excellent but never to be worn to a smart event

the first one has a funny shape I think you would need long legs and a short body

you see i don't like that it is waisted. get a proper boyfriendy tux imo.

if you're going to go all zippy waspish waist, really go for it...this falls between two stools for me.

and if you understood any of that you're a better woman that i am!

im with sophable. its not at all fitted and i would go so far as to say therefore a bag of shite

hmm
i have no waist anyway.
all the boyrfirend ones atm are v loose arent they

Oh I think it does look quite fitted which is the prob really a trad tux isn't and the masculine shape can look v stylish on a woman.

Nah not keen

Agree it looks a bit cheap and shapeless

I would want my tux to look like something out of caberet
