The costume as a whole

The cut

This tuxedo features a straight, structured cut designed to elongate the silhouette and offer natural elegance.

The jacket has classic shoulders with light padding, providing structure and balance without rigidity. The pants, with their clean, uncluttered lines, move with the body while maintaining an impeccable fit. This cut is for those seeking an elegant, sober and perfectly controlled silhouette, faithful to the codes of traditional tuxedos.

The composition

This tuxedo is made from 100% wool barathea by Vitale Barberis Canonico, renowned for the quality of its formal linens. Barathea is distinguished by its tight grain, strength and straight fall, essential qualities for evening wear.

The deep black of the fabric offers an elegant visual intensity, ideal under artificial light, and guarantees a sophisticated look that lasts over time.

The color

Black is the historic color of the tuxedo. Timeless and formal, it structures the silhouette and enhances material contrasts, particularly with black satin lapels and details. This hue embodies absolute elegance and remains a must-have for formal and ceremonial events.

A few details,

The jacket

The jacket of this tuxedo features 9.5 cm notched lapels, giving it an assertive, elegant touch. The semi-woven construction ensures a secure fit, while allowing the garment to stand the test of time.

Black satin lapels and pocket piping, as well as black satin-covered buttons, respect classic tuxedo codes. The jacket is fully tone-in-tone lined and deliberately devoid of topstitching for a perfectly streamlined look.

The pants

The pants feature an extended placket, asymmetrical drawstrings for a precise fit without a belt, as well as slanted Italian front pockets and two welt back pockets. The bias cuffless bottom ensures a clean, elegant finish, perfectly suited to the formal tuxedo look.
