"The Tuxedo coat is no longer used as a dinner coat except at a stag dinner, at a club or hotel, or at an informal at-home dinner when only the members of one's family attend, or at the house where one boards. It may be worn at the theater or for an evening call, when women are not to be met. In fact, it is considered a lounging jacket, only one degree removed from a smoking jacket, and should not be worn when women are present except at home. The waistcoat worn with a Tuxedo should be of light gray linen." As this is from a noted English authorCorrect Clothes ity, it may be regarded by a man who wishes to be thoroughly English in his dress; but in America the Tuxedo is very generally worn, especially in hotels, informal family dinners, and to the theater - in fact, upon all occasions when the regulation clawhammer is not strictly demanded.
