Ivory Cummerbund Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This suit is a warm ivory, not a harsh bright white but a creamy white, which suits Asian skin tones and outdoor sunlight. The tonal shawl lapel curves in one line down to a low button. Beneath goes a white shirt with a vertically pleated front and a hand-tied white bow tie. The standout is a wide silk cummerbund wrapped around the waist in place of a belt, with horizontal pleats, slimming the waist and making the transition from jacket to trousers very smooth.

Mon Amie makes this suit for grooms holding outdoor weddings, in a garden or by the sea, or for you at summer parties and white parties. It goes equally well with ivory or polished black leather shoes; if you want a little more life, pin a small flower to the lapel as in the photograph.

An ivory tone calls for extremely clean stitching, because every stitch shows. The silk cummerbund must also be set to your true waist so that the pleats lie flat and do not shift when you sit down. The Mon Amie tailor measures your own build, drafts a pattern for you alone and sews each detail by hand. You try the fitting, we adjust, until the suit fits perfectly.
