Navy Micro-Weave Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

From a distance this looks like a plain deep blue suit, but up close you see a fine, evenly spaced micro-weave that gives a subtle depth under the lights. The glossy black satin peak lapels contrast with the matte cloth and sharpen the line of the neckline. It is single-breasted with one black button, tidy besom hip pockets, a white pocket square folded straight and a small lily lapel pin as a finishing touch. The jacket is shaped at the waist with moderately structured shoulders, worn with matching dark trousers.

This is the suit Mon Amie often suggests when you must appear at a corporate gala, an awards ceremony or a formal dinner without wanting to look as rigid as in an all-black tuxedo. A white shirt with a stand collar, a navy bow tie in the same tone as the jacket, a white pocket square, polished black shoes and thin dark socks are the safest formula for you.

When making this suit, Mon Amie re-measures you completely instead of using a ready-made size, recording your shoulder slope and your waist measurement while seated. You see the micro-weave base fabrics in person and choose the depth of navy to suit your complexion, then, through the fittings, the tailor adjusts the waist fit, the sleeve length and the lapel opening to balance your figure.
