Blah, blah, blah election. Enough about that nonsense. Let's talk about the real issues. Like Daniel Craig's tuxedo jacket at the Skyfall Premiere.

The jacket is a sharpened diamond jacquard shawl-collar evening jacket. As you can see, it has some glossiness to the jacket itself, but matte lapels. Notably, the lapels are sort of rounded, rather than being notched. Is it an appropriate modification to the tuxedo or is it postmodern nonsense?

I'm inclined to say it is almost acceptable. He's only really modifying one piece of the suit and is keeping it traditional with the shirt, tie, and pants, but I can't help but feel that the glossy jacket combined with the matte and soft lapels makes it look like a smoking jacket. I probably would have done one or the other, that is switch the gloss from the lapels to the jacket or remove the notches from the lapels?

What do you think of this serious, serious issue?

I'd tap that evening jacket if given the chance.
 
Not the proper sort of jacket for an English gentleman at that sort of social event.
 
What's the difference between a smoking jacket and regular jacket anyways?

Men's fashion is just... lame. :) Just be glad we show up with clothes on.
 
It looks too tight. But apart from that, a monkey in silk is still a monkey.

Shiny coat? Bow tie? Black buttons? Nah, I'd stop at home, thanks.
 
Different for the sake of being different.

Men's fashion is amazing. Americans generally just don't get to experience very much of it.
 
Rent-a-suit. That's what that is.

And they've been drinking, I'll be bound.

Tart in red looks dazed too. Probably wants to go home early.
 
leo's right, it's certainly different but it doesn't actually look good.
just a simple, well fitted high quality jacket would have sufficed.
 
Bowties are cool.

The jacket is uncool.

I'm undecided on the buttons.
 
What happened to his face?
 
No matter what he's wearing, he always looks at least a little murderous.
