They're really sparkly.

Yep. I love the way they catch the light and, as Sparky said, throw rainbows.

Which is why I also love demantoid garnets, which throw rainbows like diamonds AND are a nice emerald green.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Okay, I apparently don't know the difference between that and a tuxedo jacket.

Does it have to do with one of them (the jackets) having tails?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have heard the Amber mining industry is horrible.

Others may work 10-hour days in amber mines, eating salt and pozole to keep from dehydrating. Because of their small size, children between 9 and 14 years constitute the majority of the mines’ workforce, digging 2-3 ft high tunnels into the mountains. Early in life, most have developed deep coughs caused by years of working in the smoke and dust -- all for about $2 a day.

Typically/traditionally speaking:

Morning suits have cutaway coats in either gray (worn with gray pants) or black (worn with striped pants). The coats are paired with a waistcoat (vest).

Tuxedos are standard jackets or tails, typically in black or white. Paired with matching pants and either a waistcoat or cumberbund.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Morning dress also is WAY HOTTER than regular tuxedos, IMVHO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For the longest time, I thought they were Mourning Coats.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I thought the only place to see them was on Masterpiece Theater.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In a tuxedo jacket, you can have your barn door open and nobody might notice for a long time. In a morning coat, people will notice.

(Also, you have flappy tail things, which are almost as good as a cape!, on a morning coat, which you do not have on the standard tuxedo.)

I've seen people in morning dress in person only at weddings, and they never look comfortable in it. I think it must take even more panache to look comfortable in morning dress (to say nothing of evening dress) than it takes to look good in a tuxedo.
