Hi all,
Headed to a 'black tie optional' wedding on the Turkish coast of Bodrum this summer. Understanding that this is a Turkish/South Asian/American wedding, people will dress up. I do have a custom black wool/mohair tux with peak lapels (the button stance is a little low to my liking), but I thought I've been mulling over wearing an off the rack off-white dinner jacket because it's in August and we'll be so close to the water.
I've ordered the SuitSupply jacket linked to see if it I like it, but the fact that it is 'cotton velvet' has given me pause - velvet in the summer on a white jacket???
What do you all think?
Can I pull it off comfortably? Will the fabric suck? Would it be faux pas to wear a single carnation boutonniere in the buttonhole at someone else's wedding?
I also have patent leather lace ups, but thought I should probably wear slip-ons. Suggestions?
