Explanation:
http://francois.darbonneau.free.fr/habiller/habiller1.html
La jaquette est cette veste gris pâle (pour les mariages) à la coupe arrondie et se terminant bas en arrière avec 2 pans
La jaquette était encore portée dans les visites protocolaires (outre Ascott !) à l'Élysée, il y a 15-20 ans. Seuls les Pdt de l'Assemblée Nle & Sénat le portaient encore pour l'ouverture de la session.
La "queue de pie" désigne plutôt "l'habit", comme celui que portent les chefs d'orchestre (encore maintenant) ou les concertistes... bien les seuls de nos jours

PS pour la ptite histoire, je me souviens encore d'un neveu en jaquette dans les vallées du Yorkshire et des demoiselles d'Honneur (très) décolletées.... un 28 décembre... :O)
boudi qu'on gelait sur pied...
