Black Shawl Lapel One-Button Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This black tuxedo chooses a shawl lapel, a line that curves seamlessly from the collar down the chest with no sharp points, so the whole look is softer and finer. The band of black satin facing catches just enough light to separate from the matte black body. The jacket has a single button and a slim cut that follows the body lightly, with trim shoulders, a slightly shaped waist and four small buttons on each cuff. Underneath are a white shirt with a front placket of black studs and a balanced black bow tie. The matching black trousers have a slim straight leg and just touch the shoe.

The shawl lapel suits evenings that call for polish without too much ceremony: company events, concerts, dinners with friends, or a relative's wedding. Mon Amie suggests keeping the overall look clean in black and white, adding a white pocket square only if you wish, with polished black lace-up leather shoes and thin black socks.

For every client, Mon Amie starts with an in-person measuring session at the showroom. Our tailor records your shoulders, chest, waist, arm span and the way you stand, advises on a black cloth suited to the weather you usually dress for, and suggests a wide or narrow shawl lapel to match your shoulder width, then arranges a fitting. After each fitting, the jacket is taken apart and adjusted until every seam sits in the right place on your body.
