The dior jackets with 2/3 poly hold their structure better than those in other fabrics. Plus they're lined, so it's not as though you'll feel it.

That I can imagine, and I do know it. But it's probably not the whole truth. "keeping the structure" is not everything. For example, if that was the case then the all cotton army jackets would be made of poly too, wouldn't it? Besides, the 3 wolves jacket and the black version of the SS05 Double buttoned sailor blazer was made of wool instead of poly/cotton.

I just mean it feels a little cheap to be wearing a DINNER jacket, which it essentially is, made out of poly/cotton.

Btw: I bought it in size 48

I just hope that the white ones aren't made out of poly to make up for the fact that the white version aren't canvased. ( to make it stiffer, to look like a more contructed canvased jacket)

Isn´t that a bit ******** to instantly label technical fibres/blends as dull quality? Comme des Garcons, Yamamoto or especially Issey Miyake would have to be labeled as producing dull quality if you´d think like this... I´ve got a blazer with similar composition from Follow Me and it´s by far better quality as if it was just a 100% cotton gabardine. Due to the poly, the cloth doesn´t wrinkle too much from wear and it is also more likely to fade less in colour than pure cottons. You can also tell from the drape that this blend (which Dior had used almost EVERY season, from Follow Me´s Sahariennes, blazers and high-waisted pants to F/W 2004´s and S/S 2005´s black canvas jeans) has a fine texture while staying in shape nicely. The classic "Grain de Poudre", Dior Homme´s signature smoking fabric is totally a different story and one of the most expensive and refined of Dior´s fabrics, it´s more sophisticated than the poly/cotton.

What you can´t tell from the pictures of S/S 2005 was that most of the pieces were very heavily distressed for the show, the shirt collars and t-shirts roughed up and sometimes even stained with holes, the blazers worn in and wrinkled. it makes sense to use a slightly more relaxed fabric for a tux that is meant to be used for the daytime, worn in a totally different context, with jeans and a polo shirt.

All of the jackets, even the unlined jackets are fully canvassed and correctly shoulder-padded.

Nice to see a bunch of people got some of the YOOX action!

Maybe someone here can help me out on this (I'd reward them!). I am currently looking for the following jacket (as well as ANY tuxedo suits) in a size 38P or 40P (or whatever compares to a Dior by Galliano 34 or 36 since I haven't tried these on in such a small size).

Though I will be needing a tuxedo shortly, I want the burgundy/black jacket very badly! Does anyone know where to find it in a 38P or 40P (or at least what the retail on it was)?

Thanks

Maybe it is ********, but then again I never intended to imply that technical fibres were automatically dull quality. (ull clothes tend to be made of poly, but that is an another story) Even if I know that there are different qualities of poly as it is with cotton or wool...
It does make sense that they're using that this blend for a daytime jacket. Maybe the reason is solely that simple. Besides, a white wool jacket would feel kinda weird too...and it's going to get dirty. Anyways I'm really looking forward to the jacket now (yey it's fully canvased! Just the fact of it beeing constructed that way proves that the poly/cotton blend isn't a cost-saving-factor thingie)

WAW!

Is that a good or a bad thing
