Vest Buttons

3 button waistcoat

Traditionally a black tie outfit means covering your waist. Many men choose to add a formal waistcoat, a vest that is specifically designed for wearing with your tuxedo, to do that.

Vest Back

Black (Standard)

Black lining fabric on the back panel of your vest is a classic look.

Match Inner Lining

The back panel uses the same material as your jacket inner lining selection.

Match Exterior Fabric

For those who want the exterior back of their jacket to match their jacket fabric for a more seamless look when worn without a jacket.

Extra Pair of Pants

Pants get more wear and tear than jackets so if you wear your suits on a regular rotation, it is recommended that you have an extra pair of pants for each suit.

One Trouser

Yes (+$233.00)

Pant Back Pockets

Two (Standard)

Two back pockets are a balanced and standard option.

One on Right

If you don’t use your back pockets or prefer a minimalist look, go with one back pocket on either side or no back pockets.

One on Left

If you don’t use your back pockets or prefer a minimalist look, go with one back pocket on either side or no back pockets.

None

A true minimalist look if back pockets don’t spark joy for you.

Belt Loops

Yes

Belt loops are a tried and true option.

No - with Side Tabs

Go without belt loops for a sleeker look that mimics formalwear. Not recommended for pants worn in conservative contexts where belts are expected.

Suspender Buttons

Add these buttons to the inside waistband of your pants if you enjoy sporting suspenders (braces).

No Suspender Buttons

Yes

Review Your Customizations

Be sure to review your details and make edits as needed.

Taking a cue from the smoking jacket, a shawl lapel tuxedo is equally appropriate to the peak in formality, but slightly more unexpected. Ideal for men who want a softer, more relaxed presentation while keeping the formality of black tie. This black tuxedo makes for a great wedding tux for the groom or the well-appointed guest. <br><br><em>*Note: In keeping with black tie tradition, these pants come with a satin stripe down the outer seam of the legs.</em>
