Cobalt Blue Shawl Collar Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The cobalt in this tuxedo is bright and clear, a world away from the familiar deep navy. The cloth is smooth and, as light falls on the shoulder and front, a deeper layer of blue shows through, giving the suit dimension. The shawl lapel is faced in black satin, curving softly from the collar down the chest and framing the white shirt between. The jacket has a single button and a slimmed waist, so the back line shows clearly from the side. Two jetted pockets trimmed in black sit discreetly, with four small buttons on each cuff. The matching trousers taper gently with a clean crease.

This is the suit Mon Amie would like you to wear to galas, year-end parties and anniversary celebrations, when you want to be a little different while staying within the rules. Pair it with a white stand-collar shirt, a medium-width black bow tie and a white pocket square folded square, and that is enough. Polished black leather shoes and black socks keep everything in the right formal register.

Every suit at Mon Amie is cut individually to the wearer's measurements. You come to the showroom, and our master tailor measures your shoulders, chest, waist and arm span, notes your shoulder slope and posture, then goes through the choice of cloth with you, a wide or narrow shawl lapel, and how close the body should fit. After the first fitting, the jacket continues to be adjusted until it feels as though it had always been yours.
