Shanghai Dinner Jacket
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this so... Here it is, the Temple of Doom Dinner Jacket:

I'm hoping to be adding the matching vest and pants in the near future as well.
Kind regards,
Indy

Okay, I just did a little google searching and came up with this:
http://www.hillesodesigns.com/images/alternatuxwht1.jpg
It's a new one, though, and not official vintage.

This one's from the 60's, but not the 30's...
It makes sense that they could have put satin collars on white dinner jackets in the 30's. Why not? But in my years of collecting vintage clothing, I haven't come across one from that era yet. They could be out there, but not that common. The pics I linked to, however, show a real contrast in the material. I would think Indy's jacket would be dead obvious if it were satin. I don't think it was, but Magnoli's jacket still looks great.
EDIT: Tag fixed. Thanks, VP.

Just curious - why are you guys making a distinction between tuxedo and dinner jacket? A tux is a formal attire which includes a dinner jacket, pants and waistcoat (or the barbaric cummerbund). Traditionally, a DJ has satin lapels that correspond with the satin ribbons on the trouser legs.
Nice jacket, Mr. Magnoli!

And a white Persian cat? And a shaved head?? And a scheme to rule the world by taking control of a nuclear weapon, which you'll stash in the Caribbean, after you "eliminate" a certain British secret agent?? Sorry, I got carried away!Rusty Jones wrote:Its close enough for my taste, if I were to guess as to screen accuracy I'd go with non-satin, but I think the satin would look very cool with a satin white bowtie I have (and white pants and an eye patch... if only one of my eyes didn't work... :c)
I just watched the Club Obi Wan scene last night after reading this post and they are satin lapels for the TOD jacket. I'm sure the high shine in the photograph is a result of the camera flash.
I would lean toward purchasing this jacket from Indy M. for several reasons; the main two are the peaked lapels and the wool blend. I’ve been to a dozen formal rental places looking for a peaked lapel in ivory and wool. ( Never thought to ask for functional cuff buttons.) Everyone just shakes his head.
Tough to find even on @bay.
Toss in screen accuracy, he's a COW member, and
starting a business. Having one of these custom made elsewhere was around $650

And... here is the complete Shanghai Tuxedo:
You can see that this one was made with the lapels the same material as the jacket:
The three-piece tux is only $499 (shipping included). More info on this tux and its components can be found at my site:

Kind regards,

That ... suit ... looks ... awesome! Now I want one of those. Tony, you are sooo cruel! Do you know how much an Archaeologist earns? And I mean us "office-and-excavation-Arcghaeologists", not those tomb raiding ones.
Dang, I've got to sell ... something, anything.
Great idea to open your "Clothiers" business. Thanks.

Well, if you would "find" some valuable artifacts for some museums you could do some extra cash.IndyJens wrote:That ... suit ... looks ... awesome! Now I want one of those. Tony, you are sooo cruel!

Or do you think Indy´s tuxedo was just rented?
Great work, Magnoli. As usual!

I've got a friend who just finished making herself an amazing replica of Willie's Club Obi Wan dress. I can't wait to get some shots of us together!

####, If only I hadn't just spent all that money on other Indy gear. Eh, I'll get it anyway, I can always make it back later. (I've been saving all my money from x-mas's and birthdays past until I got old enough to buy more expensive stuff instead of spending it ) Hmm, If I hurry, I can have it in time for Finger Lakes
