I am pretty sure I know the picture that you refer to. I will see if I can find it. We need to be careful here. The invitation was for "morning dress OR(my italics) lounge suits", so the gentleman wearing the tweed argyll was perfectly attired in lounge suit equivalent. Pictures should carry health warnings as it is so easy to draw the wrong conclusions from them, without details of context.
Found it!Is this the one JB?
