Zombatar Posted November 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2017 We are on Silver Wind the end of next week for seven days out of Bridgetown. Our formal night is the second night of the cruise. On a recent trip to Singapore I had a Tux tailored for me and was planning to wear on our cruises from now on. I know where I am on cruise lines we have already used but a bit uncertain about what reaction I will get on Silversea. The tux is conventionally tailored but the cloth is blue silk with a gold Chinese style pattern woven into it. Naturally I will wear it with black tie and black formal trousers. The lapels of the tux are black as are the buttons. I would attach a picture but as yet I have not managed to work out how to do this. The question is am I likely to be told I cannot enter the MDR as this is not a conventional black or white tux (this is what my good lady is afraid of!!) or will it be acceptable. I really would appreciate your views and advice. Peter and Jenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted November 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Your tux sounds great. On a formal night, you should be fine with anything approximating to jacket and tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted November 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Your tux will be fine. Sounds better than that strange garb that some Scots wear on formal nights. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted November 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Sounds like an incredible tuxedo! You will be welcomed with open arms and don’t be surprised if a gents ask where you procured your threads.

Rare Tothesunset Posted November 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Dinner jacket rules in UK circles last century: Between 20 degrees North and 20 south - white jacket. Outside the tropics - black jacket. On SS you will look great and laugh in the face of us old fuddy-duddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
