Smoking jackets, anyone?

Hello gents, yesterday was cold and I wanted to smoke a cigar.
So to keep the room from getting smokey, I opened a window, and put a fan in it, to blow out the smoke.
Since it was cool out, I put on my smoking jacket, and enjoyed my cigar.
So I wondered if any one on the forum uses a smoking jacket. And if so, were did you get it, I know there are a few places
in London that still make smoking and dinner jackets.
So what say the forum, smoking jackets yes or no, and if possible show a pic of it or you wearing it.
 
If I can figure out how to take, save, and post pictures.
It's nothing fancy, the classic ‘ New Yorker ‘ style.
Satin burgundy with black shawl collar and cuffs. Robe style with sash close.
Medium weight, perfect for early spring.
It's nice to see the old fashioned sense of style is not dead, picture or not, keep looking like a gentleman when smoking your cigars in your smoking room. :) P.

Thank you. A lot of people have forgotten that these ‘luxury' items also serve a practical purpose as well.
By smoking in a designated room, I don't get the house smoky, and bother any ladies ( which is definitely bad form )
And the jacket absorbs most of the smoke, so I don't smell that smoky, when I'm done.
This jacket is more a robe than a jacket, so no one is going to see it but the lady of the house, (or maybe the footman).
If someone is over, and we are going to smoke, I have a ‘jacket' style jacket, waist length, frogging, Brandenburg closure.
Now as far as dinner jackets, dressing robes........
 
Check out the J. Peterman catalog for that kinda thing tastefully done. No idea if the current version's offering a smoking jacket but I would bet something(s) would grab your interest. Heh, it's mailed to me and I always have to at least look.

I've been using their 1903 shaving cream for about 10 years and recently reordered. Great classy scent and better than average performance.

I didn't know that was a real business, I just remembered it from Seinfeld, not that there's anything wrong with that.
A few years ago, my girlfriend at the time, found a few places in London, very expensive, but extremely nice.
I found a place in Germany, and a place in Chicago.
So I'll check out Peterman, thanks for the tip. Giddy Up!
