41. I'm kinda ghetto and don't know the difference. The closest thing I know is rented tuxes for proms and weddings.

Beyond that experience, I know nothing about men's formal wear. I do not expect to become versed over the remainder for my life!

Can't even tell how much or little white should hang out from the bottom. Trump has the most, followed by Clinton and W.

Obama, Kennedy, Nixon, Eisenhower, Truman and Ford didn't have any white showing. Is it based on build? How would I know?

I don't think Trump is built for one of these....I don't know if you could come up with one that looks good on his build. Heck, Obama almost looks too thin for the thing.
