    Recently came across your videos and I love them. Interesting the depth of your knowledge and your passion shows through. I watch them before bed, there's a calming, artisan quality to the videos. You seem like a man who would be into cigars, cognac, watches with actual time complications and perfumes. I'd love to see a video of yours about one of these subjects. Maybe not cognac and cigars... UA-cam doesn't like those. But definitely watches!

    You failed to mention footwear. A man should wear black silk knee high socks. No colored socks. The shoes should be black oxfords in either pattern leather or a whole cut shoe with a high gloss shine. An alternative are opera pumps.
    There is also a question as to a watch. Some people do not think you should wear a watch with black tie. I think a watch is acceptable but it should be something very simple. No sports watches. As I said the watch should be simple with a black leather watch band and the metal should match the metal of your cufflinks.

    So I actually must disagree with the never to wear a notch lapel tuxedo, I own one in fact. But wait, it gets worse the matching tuxedo trousers have belt loops on them. The thing is its a tuxedo from 1918, and it looks quite good. So never say never... But you probably shouldn't wear notch lapels😅.

    I don't understand how you are the king of drape when none of the clothes really drape. they just hang and don't move with the body which is in essence the art of draping the muscles and limbs. I agree however mostly on the dinner jacket and the lapels. this is one case where the wider lapels are both stylish and classic. i would personally wear a slimmer lapel and a dinner suit that fitted my body better.
