Description

A tuxedo jacket is one of the most formal versions of a standard blazer but that doesn't mean it can't be worn in less formal settings. The rules of a tuxedo being black and predominantly worn at black tie events are accurate, but tuxedo jackets can also be created from eccentric fabrics, velvets, and even heavy wools. The defining characteristic is the satin lapel which could be a strong peak or round shawl, to match the various shoulder and button placements that make this product stand out.
