"Tuxedo and Dinner Jacket clad Men" Topic

There doesnt seem to be that many men in dinner jackets either armed or unarmed.

The turban limits his usefulness a bit. Sometimes I think this company over personalities its personalities.

He has tails but because he looks like the Monopoly guy, I included him.

Again the guy ion the quilted smoking jacket is cool but very ecclectic:

Where are the 28mm 1930s-70s tuxedo/Dinner jacket clad goodies and baddies?

Check Artizan Designs "Thrilling Tales" range. Several options there. Of course you can paint almost any male in a suit jacket to look like formal wear. Nothing says they have to be wearing a bow tie.

I think you meant this from Artizan Thrilling Tales range?:

Did I miss one?

I suppose the pianist in this range but not clear he has a dinner jacket on: link

These are wearing dinner jackets but it would be a pain to separate the instruments from the men:

Old Glory pack has one but you'd have to buy all the other figs:

But the Old Glory one has three buttons done up. Just say no.

How big a party are you planning to hold, MiniPigs? And how formal? For a country house gathering, a business meeting or relaxing at the club after a hard day of saving (or taking over) the world, a suit jacket should be sufficient.

As for the musicians, does anyone else remember The Band in Walter Wager's "Time of Reckoning?" USAF Jazz Band--and also a team of assassins, travelling all over the world on good will tours, and killing people as they go. I loved the concept, but when they had to replace individual members, I imagine the auditions would be tricky. "We need a first-class drummer who's also good with high explosives."

Pulp Miniatures also has one in this 5-pack of figures: link and another in this 5-pack: link . Plus the 'Poirot' character here link could be painted in dinner wear.

I think the sculptor was unfamiliar with the general rules of the garment. Still, it could be useful as either a Bond villain because they usually either got the rules wrong or followed their own eccentricities or a more fashionable/hip hero.

Although this is true, I was more interested in a 50s-70s vibe with a hip but sometimes evil customer like Dr Goldfoot.

Great observations. Too stodgy and Fogey-ish for my purposes but still useful.

In this set, the man holding the book seems to be wearing a smoking jacket or dressing gown too.https://pulpfigures.com/products/view/199
