Slim Shawl Lapel Tuxedo

About this tuxedo

A slim black tuxedo, restrained to the point of having almost no extra detail. The shawl lapel is faced in satin, medium in width, with a smooth curve running down from the collar to a slightly low button that lengthens the chest. The two hip pockets are flush jetted pockets with no flap, so the side of the jacket stays completely flat, a detail that makes the suit look much cleaner than an ordinary one. Four close-set buttons at each cuff, showing a little white cuff. Beneath goes a white shirt with a pleated front and black studs, a hand-tied black bow tie and straight black trousers tapering to the ankle.

This slim fit suits you if you have a lean build and want a clearly defined silhouette: an evening party, a cocktail reception, an awards ceremony, or a modern wedding photo shoot. The fewer accessories, the better: a black bow tie and polished leather shoes, nothing more.

A slim fit is also the hardest cut to tailor, because every error shows. Mon Amie measures directly on your body, cuts a pattern made for you alone, then adjusts it through the fittings until the jacket fits close and you can still raise your arms, sit down and embrace your family comfortably.
