Plum Slim-Fit Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The tuxedo wears a deep plum, shifting slightly purple as the light moves, striking enough for a banquet hall without being showy. The cloth is smooth and reflects light gently on the sleeves and back. The wide black satin peak lapels sweep decisively toward the shoulder, the hip pockets are trimmed in fine black satin, and a single button keeps the jacket neat with a high waist line. A dark patterned pocket square rises in a small corner and a silver lapel pin adds polish. It is worn with plain black trousers in a tapered leg and black patent leather shoes.

Mon Amie finds this suit best suited to the role of the groom at an evening wedding, or when you are the guest of honour at a birthday or anniversary party. Keep to a plain white shirt, a black bow tie, polished black shoes and dark socks so that the colour of the jacket speaks alone; avoid adding a floral tie or brown shoes, as they will make the look busy.

Plum is demanding of both fabric and figure, so Mon Amie always invites you to try several pieces of fabric by the window before deciding. Your measurements are taken afresh, including any difference between your two shoulders, after which the suit is basted and fitted once or twice to adjust the waist, the hem and the lapel opening, ensuring you can move comfortably throughout the party.
