@4:47 - This also applies to laundering your pants and jacket! Whether it’s a suit or a tuxedo, you should ALWAYS have them dry cleaned together. If you wear your suit coat without the trousers, or vice versa, and only bring in one piece to be cleaned, over time the color will start to fade. Do this enough times and your expensive suit will be reduced to simply a sport coat and a pair of slacks that don’t match.

You can substitute suspenders for a shoulder holster just make sure the tuxedo is tailored to it or it will print. Don't go with anything parkerized or powder coated but rather a high polish blue or a semi-brushed stainless. You want to avoid anything nickel plated which is more suited for white tie. It should also have grips made from a dark wood like Walnut or Cocobolo. Shades like Birch or Maple are just too flashy.

Amazingly in-depth video. I'll be sure to remember all of this in the future. I have one question for anyone that wouldn't mind answering it. How would I go about an event that could be considered "Creative Black Tie"? I understand it's odd to ask, but I'll be attending a formal dinner with my fiancée soon. While it's hinted as Black Tie, I know the expectations are a bit relaxed to let everyone wear more colors. I want to remain true to the rules of the jacket and pants, but I'm unsure if I should wear a vest and bow tie that coordinate with her dress, or just stay black and let my Boutonniere and Pocket Square match her. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

People should not underestimate the importance of a cummerbund if you aren’t using a waistcoat. When standing, your jacket should always be buttoned, and the cummerbund gives you a continuous black silhouette with no little white triangle between the trouser and the jacket button. All you have is the striking V of the shirt front. That is why the cummerbund is so critical, and should not be overlooked, as it so often is.

Both center vent and two vents come from riding (2:25). The center vent is for a long coat (see fox hunting coats) and two vents for a shorter coat (more of a sport coat, called hacking jacket). If you are posting during a trot your jacket will get caught on the back of the saddle unless it has vents. This will irritate your horse and you will be off balance.

Completely agree with SRS on all but two points... Whereas he thinks formality has loosened up enough allow highly polished balmorals or coverall lace-ups, it is my view that patent leather shoes are a signature hallmark of the black tie ensemble. At the same time, I have the reverse opinion on jacket vents since it is almost impossible to find an off-the-rack tuxedo in 2018 (even with the other correct features I.e, slit pockets, peak or shawl lapels etc) made without them other than GA or RL Purple Label. Even if you are having it made, vents provide the function of comfort when sitting down.

9:00... the red-sea rig IS acceptable in summer months for outdoor events when it's too hot for the coat and waistcoat, but ONLY if stated on the invitation. a similar and oft-interchanged term is the gulf rig. this means black tie and black cummerbund without the jacket. because of the interchange and confusion that can follow, ask for clarification when you respond. 9:25... shoes that tie are for daytime, shoes that do not tie are for evening. 10:20... a host in his home is allowed the smoking jacket and slippers after dinner, but the guests are not. similarly, and i know this is GENTLEMAN'S gazette, a hostess in her home does NOT wear jewelry aside from her wedding set, as to avoid criticism for gilding the lily after showing off her impressive home and dishes and culinary achievements.
