Moss Grey Three-Piece Peak Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This suit plays with an unusual layering of tone: the jacket leans moss grey and turns a warm olive brown where it catches the light, in a smooth cloth with a soft lustre. The large peak lapels faced in black satin frame a clear contrast against the neutral ground. The jacket has a single covered button, a welt chest pocket and jetted hip pockets trimmed in black. Underneath are a black waistcoat buttoned all the way down, a white marcella-front shirt with onyx studs, a large black bow tie and a small jewelled pin on the left lapel.

Three layers, a black waistcoat, a moss grey jacket and a white shirt, give you a layered evening suit, suited to a cool-season gala, an indoor wedding or a wedding photoshoot. For the more relaxed part of the party, you can take off the jacket and still look polished thanks to the waistcoat. Black trousers, polished black shoes and a white silk pocket square are all that remain; nothing more is needed.

A three-piece suit requires three sets of measurements that agree with each other: the waistcoat must fit closely without pulling or creasing, the jacket must cover the waistcoat correctly, and the trousers must continue the line of the body. Mon Amie measures each layer separately for you, drafts the pattern, then makes a rough assembly so that you can try on the whole suit at once. After the fitting, the tailor adjusts the waistcoat waist, the lapel and the jacket sleeve length until the three layers sit exactly where they should.
