I've seen various entertainers wearing it, along with a Suit Shirt. Its what they wear to give them a tuxedo kind of look, I know its a Jacket, and hasan open front, so you can see the shirt they are wearing underneath it (the Suit Shirt). I haven't a clue what kind of jacket is, or if its just an all black cold-weather jacket or something. Can any tailors help me out with this, i really want to have one made but I dont know what to ask for.

For my Tux jackets I use an all black cold weather jacket. I like the longer look it gives you as opposed to the Pilots jacket.

Yeah...but the collar makes the jacket look a little less formal, somehow. The Pilot Jacket is probably what you're looking for. Its the most "plain" jacket out there, if the shoulder patches are black as well as the body.
What you wanna do with the Cold Weather Jacket is have it black with grey shoulders, and a maroon/mustard/teal shirt on underneath...its as close to a Star Trek costume as you can get. 
Either that, or a Leather-trim Shirt...thats a slightly more retro uniform though. Oh, or the Padded Jacket, with grey shoulders...
Ok. Shutting up. *returns to his absense of life*

I use the black cold weather jacket for the tux thing too. It just seems to look better to me than the pilot jacket and my customers seem to prefer it also. Personally though I would love a dinner jacket thing or even a tux. Maybe two tux jackets, one with tails. 8)

The suit thing is my general image and I usually go with a Cloak for the jacket. The Cloak has a horrid color selection so you might have to be a bit creative that way though.
I always try out the Piolet's Jacket, Cold Weather Jacket, Reinforced Jacket, etc.. but they never quite look right. The Cold Weather Jacket would be super but it just lays in such an unnatural fashion I can't stand it. )=

I have used Pilots Jackets and Gunmens dusters for my "tuxedo" styles. People have liked both. The suit shirt in white with a black tie, black comfortable pants, dress shoes and a gunmens duster looks pretty spiffy For a businesss suit look, I'd have to say the cold weather would be best if done in all black or grey, heck maybe even brown/tan
For a businesss suit look, I'd have to say the cold weather would be best if done in all black or grey, heck maybe even brown/tan Several jackets are open in front. Cold Weather, Casual, Pilots, Reinforced and Rugged to name a few. Rugged is by far one of my favorite jackets, just wish the trim color didn't "blend" with the base color so much, it alters it a tad and makes it not match lol.
