Navy Tuxedo with Black Waistcoat

About this tuxedo

The deep navy of this jacket has a gentle sheen as the light moves across it, striking enough yet always restrained. Wide black satin peak lapels rise high, with a gold-plated lily pin on the left. Beneath sits a black single-breasted waistcoat that follows the waist and closes the gap between the two fronts. A white shirt, black bow tie, tonal-patterned pocket square and dark straight-leg trousers complete the three-piece.

This suit is best for weddings, formal dinners and any event where you need to look impeccable. The waistcoat is a real advantage: when you take off your jacket during the party, you still look composed rather than rumpled.

Three pieces mean three sets of measurements and three rounds of adjustment. The Mon Amie tailor drafts the waistcoat pattern separately so that it fits closely over the stomach without pulling or creasing, and sets the length so that it just covers the waistband of the trousers. The jacket, waistcoat and trousers are cut from the same batch of cloth to ensure consistent colour and drape.
