“THE TUXEDO JACKET”
…………………………I am so happy to be able to bring you the 2018 TUXEDO JACKET, A353558………….I made a strong statement that I though this Tuxedo was a NEW and IMPROVED version. Why? because I think the fabrics chosen for this jacket are better than the original…..This Tuxedo is made in the same fabric as the TRENCH coats and the newest BLACK, PORT and MUSHROOM BLAZERS……….so those of you who already own them know how beautifully they TAILOR. Also, the SATIN that I was able to find this go around has more substance which is important to create a beautiful lapel…………Fabrics that tailor beautifully are the MOST IMPORTANT thing in making a beautiful Tuxedo, or any jacket……..The tailoring is SUPERB!!!….. The design is similar to the original. It’s a THREE BUTTON jacket, and the buttons are covered in the same satin as the lapel. You can either wear the top button closed, the top two buttons closed, all three buttons closed or all three open, as you prefer! The shaping is similar to the blazer. It has princess seams and body darts. The shoulder pads and cap fillers give the Tuxedo a beautiful shoulder line. The working opening of the pockets are made with piped satin bound button holes. Doing the pockets this way enables you to either keep the flap out or tuck it in. You can see this in the two photos to the left………There are no buttons on the sleeves so shortening is an easy alteration if necessary…..The jacket is approx. 28 1/2 inches long for the size 4. In the photos above you see the Tuxedo the way I conceptualized it…..with the matching pant. There is a slight cutaway in the front…….the Tuxedo is fully lined…….. The Tuxedo like the blazer will be numerically sized. I strongly recommend that you buy the same size you bought in the blazer……………….There are many many ways to wear a Tuxedo jacket…………………..I can tell you that you will NEVER find another Tuxedo jacket as beautifully tailored as this one at the price it will be offered to you. You would have to shop in your most expensive boutique or department store to find anything that comes close! and surely it will be three or four times the price if not more…………..This Tuxedo is truly SUPERB!………………….Happy Holidays……………………….much Love………………………Louis
