Tuxedos from $895

    Tuxedo Options: Collar Style

    • Single breasted
    • The most common suit youll find. It has a single row of buttons that fastens the front together, which narrowly overlaps
    • Double breasted
    • Once a staple in the gentleman’s wardrobe, the DB has fallen to the wayside. It features two parallel rows of buttons that hide a significant amount of overlapping fabric. The majority of buttons are decorative.
    Tuxedo Options: Lapel

    A key style element to your jacket, lapels are located on the front of a jacket or coat, and vary in three different styles.

    • Peak
    • You’ll see this as traditional standard on both double breasted jackets and tuxedos. Look for it on a single breasted suit for a fashion forward statement.
    • Notch
    • The business standard. By far the most widely popular lapel for a single breasted suit.
    • Shawl collar
    • The lapel follows a smooth and continuous curve. Commonly seen on dinner jackets and individuals who want fashion when the standard look just won’t cut it.
    Tuxedo Options: Vest

    • Sophistication. Class. A three-piece suit says this and much more about the wearer. Vesting up is a great method to maintain a dressy look, even when the suit jacket is off.
    Tuxedo Options: Trim

    • Edge trim
    • Stitched to the lapel’s edge, it creates a stylish alternative to the standard all-satin tuxedo lapel.
    • Satin trim
    • The quintessential tuxedo lapel, the satin facing is the defining characteristic of a tuxedo.
    Tuxedo Shirt Options

    • Fly front
    • With a flap overlapping the placket on the shirt, no buttons are visible. Certainly a sleek and clean finish.
    • Regular front
    • Simply put: regular front shirts show all buttons. The basic styling for casual and dress shirts.
    • Button and stud front
    • Studs replace the need for standard buttons on a tuxedo shirt and add an element of elegance to the shirt. 
    • Pleats
    • If you want your shirt to look like a tuxedo shirt, this is the option for you. The pleats in the front are an obvious indicator that it’s a formal shirt.
    Tuxedo Slack Options

    • Side stripe
    • Meant for wear with a tuxedo, the satin striping on the side ties in nicely with the satin lapels of a tuxedo.
    • Suspenders
    • It was once said that all of a mans clothes should hang from his shoulders. This is how.
    • Suspender buttons
    • Not sure about suspenders? Have your pants outfitted with buttons on the inner waistband of your slacks. Decide later if you want to wear them. 
    • Break
    • How much fabric should gather where your pants meet your shoe? A timeless debate. It depends on your build, pant style, and height. Speak with our clothing consultant to determine what’s best for you.
