Rounded Satin Shawl Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

The most striking detail of this suit is the satin shawl lapel, softly rounded at both ends and wrapping the chest like a closed arc. The upper body looks fuller and more commanding, which suits a man with broad shoulders. It has one button and two flap hip pockets, with the edge of a black waistcoat showing beneath for a discreet second layer. A white stand-collar shirt and a medium black tie finish the look.

Mon Amie often makes this suit for grooms at daytime weddings as well as evening parties, and for you when you need formalwear you can wear many times: leave off the bow tie, add a tie, and it is ready for events or important meetings. Polished black leather shoes and long black socks are enough.

A rounded shawl lapel calls for particular skill. The tailor has to steam-press the cloth many times so that the satin follows the curve without creasing or rippling. We take more than twenty measurements on you, draft a pattern for you alone, and set the opening of the collar and the closeness across the chest to your real shape. You try the fitting, we adjust every line, until the jacket sits just as you want.
