Classic Black Peak Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

A jet black ground runs smoothly from the shoulder to the hem, with no pattern and no extra detail. The black satin-faced peak lapels add a layer of deeper sheen than the body, enough for anyone to recognise this as a tuxedo and not an everyday suit. The jacket has a single button, a moderately close fit and a lightly shaped waist on both sides for a neat silhouette. A welt chest pocket holds a white silk square, the hip pockets are jetted with satin trim and the cuffs carry closely set buttons. The matching black trousers have a straight leg that falls just to the top of the patent leather shoe.

The black peak-lapel suit is both the safest and the most elegant choice for a formal evening: an award ceremony, a company gala, or an evening wedding. Wear it with a white pleated-front dress shirt, a hand-tied black bow tie, a white silk pocket square folded to a point and polished lace-up leather shoes. If you want an extra touch, a pair of silver cufflinks or a small lapel pin is just enough; this suit needs nothing more.

For Mon Amie, a beautiful black suit lies in the cloth and the construction, not in details. Our tailor takes each of your measurements for shoulders, chest, waist, sleeve length and the shape of your back, then advises on a wool cloth with the right drape and shade of black for party lighting. The jacket is basted together and the lapels, waist and hem are adjusted over several fittings, until it feels light on the shoulders and comfortable when you raise your arms.
