Wine Red Peak Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This tuxedo is dyed a deep wine red, leaning slightly brown in the shadows and glowing a warm red when you stand near a window. The wide, glossy black satin peak lapels cut straight up to the shoulder in strong contrast with the matte cloth, making the shoulder line look more solid. The jacket has a single button, hip pockets trimmed in fine black satin, a brown-purple patterned pocket square in several folds and a gold lily lapel pin as the accent. The cuffs carry a row of small buttons, and the plain black trousers below let the colour of the jacket stand out.

Mon Amie often chooses this suit for a groom who wants to be different at an evening wedding, for an engagement ceremony or for an intimate wine-tasting party. Wear a plain white shirt, a black bow tie and polished black shoes; if you want something softer, you can switch to dark brown suede shoes and keep a pocket square in a red-brown tone to match.

Wine red has dozens of shades, and being slightly off makes the suit look older or too bright, so Mon Amie always lets you compare fabrics directly in natural light. Once the fabric is settled, the tailor takes your full measurements, drafts an individual pattern, makes a rough assembly and invites you to try it on, adjusting the waist, the lapel and the jacket hem for a perfect fit.
