Asked before a first tuxedo
Peak or shawl?
Peak is the sharper line; shawl is softer and suits a tuxedo jacket. Your build and the invitations you receive decide it.
Black or midnight blue?
Under electric light, black can turn grey-green; midnight blue reads as a deeper black. We will show you both under the atelier lights. The case for midnight blue →
I have one event and six weeks. Possible?
Yes. A tuxedo takes one to two weeks. Tell us the date when you write.
Do you make the evening shirt as well?
Yes: marcella or pleated, with a collar drafted for you and cuffs for links.
