Help Needed!

I need some help- what is it that Jeeves wears in the morning? Like, collar wise, tie wise and jacket wise, mainly.

Also if you were wanting to make a figurine order, please contact me privately, you'll need to make a deposit to indicate you're serious with your order. :)

Er, I think he wears a uniform exactly like the one Stephen Fry wears in the TV show, from morning till night. It is only the upper classes who feel the need to change three times a day.
I think the coattails is not worn in the kitchen or when doing serious cleaning. And he substitutes it for other jackets/coats according to the weather when outdoors...
Not certain on any of this, sorry.

Stephen Fry actually has two or three different looks for Jeeves. Two different collars and jackets at the very least. I wasn't sure if the flatter collar was worn in the morning and the sticking up one in the evening...

The show was very good at keeping his costume consistent, wearing (as a valet would) tails indoors, and a short jacket with full collar and hat outdoors or while accompanying Bertie somewhere. Anywhere where they were living or temporarily residing (as, say, guests at someone's home) he would also be in tails.

Ok, even in the morning? (I was thinking there might be a difference because I know parlour maids had a difference, as did housekeepers and footmen)

I used to have a book on the specifics, but I donated it to the library (with a lot of others) when I moved. From what I recall, though, an attendant's costume was based on what he was doing and where he was, rather than what the time of day was. The outfit usually sported by Stephen Fry (when he was in tails, in Bertie's flat) was this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress (though with a bowler/derby hat, rather than the top hat) and as for the books themselves I am unfortunately not currently near my collection to look up any reference from the source material.

So it depends if you are showing book Jeeves (whose clothes, if I recall, were not frequently mentioned) or Stephen Fry Jeeves, indoor or outdoor.

I can hunt down the name of the book, though, if you're interested.
