My ex-BIL flew from SFO to the UK to spend Xmas with me a few years ago. We were attending a black tie event for New Year's Eve and he is someone who always travelled by basically throwing random items into a backpack just before he needed to go to the airport. He couldn't figure out a way to pack his tuxedo, shoes etc. properly so decided the best option was to wear it. the whole lot....on an overnight SFO-LHR in Y
He looked pretty ragtag yet spiffy at the same time!
