Description

The cocktail jacket is designed to be less formal than a dinner jacket, while more refined than business blazer, allowing greater freedom in the color and pattern of the fabric. They are designed with a fabric facing lapel, meaning no satin, but usually have the formal design elements of a tuxedo jacket such as a peak or shawl lapel and besom pockets. The cocktail jacket is an area where experimentation is encouraged.
