You're probably all used to my very weird questions by now... so this shouldn't shock you... but just in case, I'll explain it all.
Looking to figure out what to wear to my wedding, and as I'm a mongrel (read I consider my heritage to be part Indian, part Italian, part British, part Gambian) I was thinking of designing a "fusion" tuxedo.
So my ideal would be something that looks like a traditional tuxedo, but with some "indianish" embroidery on the shawl lapels.
Then, (and this is the question), can it be reversed, inside out, so that the inside is outside. The inside can then be fully embroidered and have an Indian embroidery theme throughout, but with the reverse of the lapels, which is plain.
Does any of that make sense? Does anyone reckon it's feasible, or should I just get two jackets for the tux? (I know nothing of tailoring I must add... so just jotting some ideas down before trying to find someone who can make this. On that note, if anyone knows of a trusted tailor, in the UK or abroad, the info would be gratefully received - my tailor has never done anything outside of a western suit, so I think he may balk at the idea!)
