Navy Satin-Stripe Trouser Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

Only from an angle do you see the full formal character of this suit. The jacket is a deep navy with black satin peak lapels running down to the single button, a close fit at the sides and a slight flare at the hem to hold its shape as you move. The hip pocket openings are trimmed in the same satin, continuing the line of sheen from the lapel. The finest detail is in the trousers: a satin stripe down the outside of the leg, true to classic formal wear, extending the leg line down to the patent leather shoe.

This stripe down the trouser leg is the sign by which a discerning eye knows you are wearing true formal wear and not an ordinary dark suit. Mon Amie suggests wearing it to a wedding, a formal gala or a black-tie evening, with a white shirt, a black bow tie and polished lace-up leather dress shoes.

For the trouser stripe to run straight and even, the seams must match your leg precisely. Mon Amie measures your seat, thigh, knee drop and leg length individually, and takes full upper-body measurements for the jacket. The baste is tried on you and adjusted several times until every detail sits in its proper place.
