Relaxing between shows

May 3, 2010

I own four tuxedos. Most people who meet me at a performance will see me dressed up in one.

Here’s a photo of me, in between shows at the Waldorf, wearing my plush bathrobe. I was practicing a card trick.

I’ve never released casual photos like this one before. It feels somewhat obscene.

For those who are interested in formalwear, two of my tuxedos are actually morning coat ensembles from Gieves & Hawkes, the British tailor located at No. 1, Saville Row, London. (In modern American English, morning coats are known as cutaway coats.) I bought both of my morning coats during trips to London. I’m eager to return, for another shopping spree.

This is the ensemble that I often wear:

The third tux is a standard black dinner jacket combination, and the fourth is a Scottish black watch dinner jacket.

I don’t wear this plaid dinner jacket very much anymore, since it’s a little gaudy. And that’s coming from a guy who prances around in a tailcoat.
