The Architecture

The architecture
of a proper tuxedo.

A tuxedo is not merely a black suit with shiny lapels. It is a completely different garment governed by its own rules of proportion, fabric, and finish.

Whether you prefer the sharp angle of a peak lapel or the continuous flow of a shawl collar, the facing can be grosgrain or satin. Traditional tuxedo trousers carry a side braid and pair with side adjusters or suspenders.

The Lapel

Satin or grosgrain facing on shawl or peak lapels. Never notch.

The Cloth

Deep midnight navy or jet black barathea wool that absorbs light beautifully in evening settings.

Midnight Navy

A modern
standard.

Black tie does not mandate black cloth. A midnight navy tuxedo, often appearing blacker than black under artificial light, is a historic tradition that commands immense presence.
