Double-Breasted Waistcoat Black Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

This black three-piece tuxedo stands apart for its double-breasted waistcoat with a long, deep V neckline, a style rarely seen that layers the front and lengthens the figure. The peak lapels are faced in glossy black satin, in contrast with the matte black wool body. With a white shirt, a hand-tied white bow tie, a straight-folded white pocket square and a bright metal lily pin on the lapel.

This is the choice for your most important evenings: a gala, an evening wedding, an awards ceremony, or any night when you are the one standing on stage. A white bow tie worn with a double-breasted waistcoat brings the outfit close to the language of full evening dress, far grander than an ordinary tuxedo.

A double-breasted waistcoat demands real skill, because it must sit close over the stomach and still lie flat beneath the jacket. A Mon Amie tailor measures your waist and the depth of your torso individually, drafts the pattern, then refines it through each fitting. The black wool and the satin are both chosen from our Italian and English cloth library, and the studs and bow tie are advised on right in the showroom.
