An evening jacket lives in the gap between a daytime suit and full eveningwear, and it is a very useful place to have something. A black-tie dinner where you would rather not wear a gown. An award evening that is formal but still professional. A gala or a reception where the invitation clearly asks for more than a business suit. In a fine cloth with the right details, a well-cut evening jacket answers all of those without you having to commit to a full-length dress. We make them in silk, in velvet, and in fine evening wools.
Cloths and how they are built
This is where you can use cloths that business tailoring never gets to touch. A fine silk-wool in midnight blue. A velvet in black or a deep teal. A duchess satin in ivory or champagne. They carry a formality and a surface interest that plain worsted cannot, and they are right here precisely because the evening asks for something out of the ordinary.
The build is lighter than a business jacket. There is no need for heavy canvas, and the shoulder can be softer. What matters instead is the cloth, the way it falls and the fit through the body. For the neckline you can have a simple lapel, a shawl collar or a stand collar, and which one is right depends on the cloth you have chosen and where you are wearing it. Bring the shoes and we will work it out together.
