Silver Trim Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This suit keeps the spirit of classic black formal wear and changes just one detail: a fine silver-grey line along the edge of the peak lapels, circling the chest pocket and both hip pockets. The black cloth has a slight sheen that shifts with the light, so the jacket looks deep and substantial. High peak lapels broaden the shoulders, the single button sits right at the waist and the skirt opens cleanly. Underneath goes a white stand-collar shirt and a medium black bow tie, a familiar trio that never goes out of date.

Mon Amie often makes this suit for grooms at evening receptions, and for you at galas and award ceremonies, places with plenty of light where you need a suit that is bright enough without overpowering. The most correct pairing is polished black leather shoes, long black socks and a white pocket square folded square.

What makes a formal suit fit well lies in the parts you cannot see: setting the shoulders to your real slope, shaping the armhole so that your arm moves up comfortably, and setting the length of the jacket in proportion to your legs. The silver trim is basted by hand by the tailor before it is stitched in place, so that the line runs straight and the two lapels balance perfectly. You come to the showroom to be measured and fitted, and we adjust until you are happy.
