chocoholic,

You are correct on the spelling - I dropped the "b." Sorry.

I was always told the reason the pleats face up was to catch crumbs from dinner and that they were often referred to as "crumb catchers."

Dadguy,

I have always liked tuxedos - it makes formal dressing for men so easy. No dither about what to wear. When my S is trying to figure out what to wear, I just get the tuxedo out and give it a quick brushing.

Note - always have your tuxedo cleaned after attending a dinner which features heavy cigar smoking - the smell stays in the fabric forever. I usually hang it in the garage when I get home from dinner - presuming I am able to do so.
