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 taken indoor with natural sunlight through lightly tinted glass screen. No indoor light at all.

Smith's Woolens has an excellent Formalwear book that has just about everything you might need in terms of DJ fabrics.

This looks more beige than that for a white dinner jacket. More the shade one would expect a linen day coat to be.
