Black Three-Piece Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This three-piece tuxedo adds a black waistcoat beneath, and that waistcoat makes all the difference. It is cut with a pointed V-neck and fits close to the stomach, covering the midsection so that it keeps its formal look even with the jacket off. The jacket has two buttons and peak lapels faced in glossy black satin against the matte black cloth. A white shirt, a satin bow tie and a white pocket square folded square: a palette of just black and white, with nothing added.

This is the suit for a groom at an evening wedding, for the host of a party, and for someone speaking before a hundred guests. The three pieces keep you polished throughout the evening, even when you have to take off your jacket to greet each table.

Mon Amie cuts the waistcoat from the same cloth as the jacket and trousers, and makes the back lining from a plain material so you stay comfortable all evening. The length of the waistcoat is set to your own trouser waistband, since a gap of shirt between waistcoat and trousers spoils the line, and that is something only made-to-measure can handle precisely.
