It's a tuxedo :-)

Hi berlin18,
Just for info' , in the UK, Smoking jacket is a very old term now, probably from the 1950's or even earlier, tuxedo is little used if at all. They are referred to as dinner suits (in the UK), and it would not surprise me if they are still called smoking jackets here! Let me know what they call it here, please!

Sorry to disagree James, but it's a 'Tux' or 'Tuxedo' in everyday English... True, a 'Smoking Jacket' does refer to the same thing (so does 'DJ' - but this may lead to confusion!), but it would never be abbreviated to simply a 'Smoking'... that must be some French thing going on - a bit like 'Parking'; smthg we never say in English to refer to 'car park'... Cheers! :-) J.

Nah, nah, nah! I meant dinner jacket or DJ when I said dinner suit.....now that bastion of English-ness, Marks and Spencer, sells dinner suits as evening wear!
I often wore a DJ to events in the UK, as recently as New Years eve, but we never called them a tuxedo! Not a word used for many a year.....anyway, happy to differ!
"Manteau a diner" didn't work in Paris last year, but Smoking Jacket did! Maybe they thought I wanted to eat a coat!!?:D

Further research has led me to decide that tuxedo or DJ are acceptable terms....the latter preferred by younger folks back in the UK.....pax! was not meant to be a snide comment, just a quick straw poll! :D
By the way, I hope to meet you one day, soon.
Cheers,
James

Sad as I am, I went to Wiki, just now and searched on all three:
Smoking jacket - used to be velvet, even green in colour...yuk! Quite different from an evening jacket.
Tuxedo - favoured term in USA!
Dinner suit/jacket - favoured term in UK
