Many thanks for your comments.
12 other guys and I opted for that choice of contrasting buttonholes threads.
I did comtemplate to keep buttonhole threads to be the same, but...
Overall, I like this jacket, and it is reserved for dinner parties. Lucky me.

My 1st jacket with turn back cuffs.

My bespoke peak lapel DB dinner jacket in progress I would like to share with fellow members my DB dinner jacket's progress. This is my first DB dinner jacket with vents. It is a light 9/10 oz. black barathea. grosgrain silk facing (the direction of grosgrain is quite the opposite of other djs) gros...

The picture below shows a slim wallet with coin pocket with great style. I have been using it for 10+ years; however, I could not find a new replacement anywhere. It is made by GoldPfeil. If by chance some of you spotted a new one, please inform me. Thanks. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6CkCaKG...

Thank you so much for those comments. I really appreciate them, especially hectorm's. In the past 3 years, my shirt/collar style is the one you see in the pictures. Although those shirts are comfortable, I do find my overall collar style looks different from other well made shirts. I did specificall...

Pictures below show my white collar shirt.
This shirt is made in HK. What do you think?

Would you please give me some ideas for dinner jacket fabric choice in cream/ivory/white. Thanks you very much. Below is a light beige colour fabric with barathea weave. Is it appropriate for dinner jacket? It definitely looks a few shades darker than the usually light beige/cream fabric. Picture ta...

This looks like a 4x2 DB.

I have read articles which recommend that one could wear [solid black trousers without satin/grosgrain silk side stripes] with velvet smoking jacket/dinner jacket. What do you think? What about single/double breasted shawl collar cream color dinner jacket? If one were to wear a midnight blue color t...

Hi Michael, The Duke's green DB jacket pairs with navy trousers. What would be a good choice for the trousers (color and material) to pair with the Duke version of camel/vicuna color DB smoking jacket? Should it have double vents? And, are the Duke's smoking jacket sleeves cuffed? Which style of cuf...

This is my latest project. Super 180s Woollen Flannel in Blue 3-2 button, notched, double vents, buttons: brass buttons. So, this is a blazer! What do you think of this jacket's armhole execution? http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/4456/blueflannelgrand5915424.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/...

They are finally ready for me. http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/9461/photo09977831009662.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/845/photo10809441088613.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1654/photo11120111118314.jpg My new shoes and Brisa charcoal grey suit. http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/907/...

So, I requested my tailor to replace a new set of buttons. Also, I took Costi's suggestion. Now those four buttons are positioned like four corners of a square. And I have decided that this is my db blue blazer. I did not wear my jacket quite properly. That explains why my jacket's left side is a ta...

My other tailor made some good progress. Check them out! 1St fitting: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/4290/photo87112868727948.jpg 3RD fitting: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5407/grdbrisa1.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3076/grdbrisa2.jpg http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/9185/grdbr...

Costi, Thanks for your input. The coat is half lined. I think this coat's button position was a little bit high. Also the pocket opening position is somewhat higher than my other coats. I will post the completed suit pictures soon. I mentioned that this is my 3rd Brisa fabric suit. I have total of 4...
