Iridescent Plum Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The cloth of this jacket changes colour with the angle: burgundy where it catches the light, deep violet in the shadows, a two-tone sheen that is rarely seen. Wide black satin peak lapels rise high toward the shoulder, with a silver lily pin set neatly to one side. It has one button, two black satin-jetted hip pockets, a white pocket square folded straight and a row of black buttons at the cuff. Underneath goes a white shirt with a textured weave, black buttons and a medium black bow tie.

This is the jacket for your wedding day, or for an evening when you are the guest of honour. Let the colour of the jacket speak and keep everything else very simple: white shirt, black bow tie, plain black trousers, polished leather shoes.

Mon Amie makes every suit to measure. With a two-tone iridescent cloth like this, the tailor must cut all the pieces in the same grain direction, otherwise the sleeves will show a different colour from the body when you stand under the lights. That is why each suit is cut for one person only, to that person's exact measurements.
