Silver Clasp Midnight Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This suit plays with contrast within a single black: a matte black cloth against glossy black satin along the peak lapel edge, so the lapel line stands out without any other colour. The peak lapels rise high and sit close to the neck, and the chest pocket is trimmed in the same satin. The only bright note is a silver button at the waist, small but drawing the eye to the centre of the jacket. Two flap hip pockets, a white stand-collar shirt and a medium black bow tie complete it.

Mon Amie makes this suit for you to wear to galas, award ceremonies and evening weddings. Wear it with polished black leather shoes and long black socks; for added depth, a white silk pocket square folded square is just right.

The difficulty of a black-on-black tuxedo lies in precision: the two lapels must balance to the millimetre and the satin edging must run perfectly straight, since even a slight deviation is noticed at once. We take the measurements on your own build, draft a pattern for you alone, and baste the lapels by hand before stitching them permanently. You try it, we adjust, until the suit sits just as you imagined.
