Navy Peak Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

A deep navy tuxedo, dark enough to stay formal yet clearly different from the usual black. The black satin peak lapels sit on the navy ground in a gentle contrast that lights up whenever a spotlight hits. The jacket has a single button at the waist, fits closely through the chest and tapers at the sides, with small buttons set tightly together on the cuffs. A white silk pocket square sits in the chest pocket, and the matching trousers have a slim straight leg that falls to the top of the shoe.

Navy is a colour that suits the Vietnamese groom very well, and also indoor evening receptions, where warm yellow lighting brings out the blue with warmth and richness. Mon Amie suggests a white shirt, a black bow tie, a white silk pocket square and polished black leather dress shoes. If you want something softer, you can replace the bow tie with a silk tie of medium width in matching navy.

Mon Amie makes this suit individually for each client. The tailor takes your shoulder, chest, waist, arm span and back shape measurements, and looks at the navy fabric with you under the lights to be sure the colour is exactly what you want. After the baste fitting, the jacket is adjusted at the waist, shoulder line and trouser hem until it fits perfectly.
