Mens Black and Tan Shawl Lapel Tuxedo 3 Piece

A common worry among grooms is looking just like everyone else in the wedding party. This black and tan groom tuxedo answers that in one look. The black jacket with a tan shawl lapel draws the eye when you walk in, the matching tan vest and pants tie the outfit together, and the three piece cut keeps you looking finished from the ceremony through the last dance, with or without the jacket.

What Is Included

• Included: 1 black jacket with tan shawl lapel, 1 tan vest and 1 pair of tan pants
• Not included: the shirt, belt and shoes shown in the photos
• Jacket and pants are sized separately, so you can choose a different size for each piece
• Pants ship unhemmed with a 35 inch inseam so a local tailor can hem them to your exact length

Why Grooms Choose This Tuxedo

• Clearly the groom. The contrast shawl lapel is a tuxedo detail most wedding guests and groomsmen will not be wearing, so you stand apart in photos without a loud color.
• A vest for the second half of the night. Many grooms take their jacket off for speeches, dinner and dancing. The matching tan vest means you still look dressed when the jacket comes off.
• Fewer creases on the day. The polyester in this wool blend helps the fabric resist wrinkling better than a pure wool suit, which helps through a long day of sitting, hugging and posing.
• The look of wool at a lower price. The wool content gives the tuxedo a natural drape and a soft surface, while the blend keeps the price below what a pure wool three piece usually costs.
• Checked before it ships. Every suit goes through our sample room in Suzhou, where our team checks the size, the colors against your order and the finishing before it is packed.

Where This Tuxedo Works Best

• Church ceremonies and evening receptions where a little more formality fits the setting
• Fall and winter weddings, and spring weddings in mild weather
• Rustic, vintage and warm toned palettes such as terracotta, rust, sage, champagne or cream
• Grooms whose groomsmen wear solid black or tan suits. The groomsmen echo your colors while the contrast lapel keeps you as the focus. Browse our groomsmen suits to coordinate the party.
• Prom, anniversary parties and formal dinners after the wedding

Styling Notes From Real Weddings

Suit or tuxedo? If your wedding feels too formal for a full black tuxedo but too special for a plain suit, a contrast lapel tuxedo sits right in between. It reads as dressed up without feeling stiff.

Tie, bow tie or open collar? A black or tan bow tie leans formal and suits evening receptions. A crisp white shirt with no tie feels relaxed for rustic or outdoor celebrations. Browse ties and bow ties and pocket squares to finish the look.

Black or brown shoes? Black shoes tie back to the jacket and look sharp for evening. Brown shoes pick up the tan vest and pants and feel warmer for daytime and rustic venues.

Wear the vest fully buttoned. Leaving the last vest button open is a traditional detail some grooms follow. Either way, check that the vest sits just over the waistband so no shirt shows between vest and pants.

Fabric and Care

This tuxedo blends wool with polyester. The wool gives it a natural drape and a soft, matte surface. The polyester adds durability and helps the fabric recover from creasing, so it needs less pressing than a pure wool suit. Some light creasing after a long day of wear is normal and usually relaxes overnight on a hanger.

• Dry clean only, and clean all three pieces together so the tan vest and pants stay the same shade
• Steam on a low setting to remove creases from shipping or from wear
• If pressing is needed, use low heat and a pressing cloth to avoid shine
• Hang the jacket on a wide shoulder hanger and let the tuxedo rest a day between wears
• Brush gently with a soft clothes brush to remove dust and lint
