Chestnut Brown Peak Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The warm chestnut brown is what holds the eye first. The fabric is smooth with a good drape, catching the light in golden-brown bands along the sleeves and shoulders. Wide black satin peak lapels lay over the brown ground like an elegant outline around the chest. The cuffs carry a row of closely set working-style buttons, and the jacket hangs open to show a white shirt and black bow tie. The trousers are a dark tone that anchors the whole look.

This brown suits warm evenings: an indoor wedding, an intimate cocktail party, a wedding photoshoot or an evening event where you want to look warm rather than cool. Mon Amie suggests a plain white shirt, a black bow tie, polished shoes and a watch on a dark brown leather strap to echo the colour.

To achieve the right brown as shown in the picture, Mon Amie invites you to view the fabric in person under the showroom lights, because brown is the colour that changes most with the light source. The tailor takes measurements on your own figure, makes a baste fitting, then adjusts the lapel opening, the jacket length and the waist until the suit fits you perfectly.
