Black Tie, Properly
What Actually Makes It Black Tie
Black tie is a specific dress code, and most of the mistakes come from a handful of details nobody explains.
The lapel decides everything
A shawl collar is the unbroken curve, softer and more classically evening. A peak lapel is sharper and more formal. Both are correct.
A notch lapel is the third thing you will be offered and it is the business-suit lapel. It is the single detail that makes a tuxedo look like a black suit with shiny facings.
The shirt and the tie
A white formal shirt with a pleated or pique front, and a black bow tie. Self-tie if you can manage it, because a pre-tied one sits too perfectly and always shows.
Studs and cuff links finish it. A long necktie belongs to a different dress code entirely.
Where personality is allowed
The dinner jacket. Velvet for December, ivory for a warm outdoor evening, midnight for anything. Read our dinner jacket guide for the full range.
The rule that keeps it elegant rather than costume: one expressive element, everything else strictly correct.
Common Questions
Custom Tuxedos in Jacksonville, Answered
The questions we get asked most, before anyone books.
What makes a tuxedo different from a suit?
The facings. A tuxedo has satin or grosgrain on the lapels and a matching stripe down the trouser leg, and that is what separates it from a dark business suit. The shirt, the bow tie and the shoes follow from there.
Should I own a tuxedo or rent one?
It comes down to how often. If black tie turns up once, renting is sensible. If it happens two or three times a year, and in this city it does for anyone on a board or in a firm, owning one that actually fits changes how you look in every photograph from those evenings.
What colour tuxedo should I get?
Midnight blue if you are only having one. Under artificial light black goes flat, while midnight reads deeper and richer, and it works at strict black tie as well as anything looser.
What tuxedo fabric works in Florida?
Tropical-weight wool, or a wool and mohair blend. Mohair has a faint natural lustre that photographs beautifully under evening light, and both handle an outdoor cocktail hour far better than the heavy cloth most stock tuxedos are cut from.
How far ahead should I order for a gala or a wedding?
Six to eight weeks is comfortable, which covers making the garment and a final fitting with room to spare. If your date is sooner, tell us at the first appointment and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
Can you fit a whole wedding party for tuxedos?
Yes, and we come to you to do it. We can fit the groom and groomsmen at the venue, at a house, or anywhere the group is already going to be, and we keep everyone matched even when they live in different cities.
