I never doubted it would work. CONFIRMED

I tried a suit (don't own a tux) under my suit once. Came out a little wrinkled, but a little hand-smoothing and no one could tell. Did they add some extra complexity to it?

Did they add some extra complexity to it?

Yes... Jamie had to do a "45 minute" swim at 60fsw dragging kelp
and he also had to be judged by an Officer of the Fashion Police when he got on deck.

I don't think anyone admitted that Sean Connery 007 did this in a wetsuit.

So can we expect 4th Element and Santi to announce new Formal undergarment lines for 2011 then?

Actually I think they touted it as 'can you scuba dive while wearing a tux and no one could tell the difference when you arrived at the party'. If you werent familiar with the equipment you wouldnt know how they did it as I'm sure most people equate scuba diving to using a wetsuit. And since Jamie is a very experienced diver, and all around suave fellow anyway, didnt surprise me at all when he passed muster.

So, what was the final verdict? I hope he made it out in style.

 

[dburg30]

Oh yea, the fashion police gave him a big thumbs up.

By the way, did you see said fashion person almost take a wrong step going from one boat to the other?

 

[bhalah]

Didn't Arnold Schwarzenegger do the tux under the drysuit thing in True Lies as well?
