A shawl collar tuxedo has a single continuous curved lapel that runs from the collar to the button without a break or notch. The satin facing gives a smooth, uninterrupted line — quiet, precise and the most classically rooted of all tuxedo silhouettes.

A shawl collar is smooth, continuous and curved — classic, understated, deeply traditional. A peak lapel has pointed lapels that angle upward, giving a bolder, more architectural silhouette. Both are correct for black tie; the choice is one of character.

Your hire includes the shawl collar jacket and matching trousers, dress shirt, bow tie, dress studs and cufflinks — fitted and pressed on the premises. A cummerbund is available as an extra, and dress shoes can be added for $50.

Yes. The shawl collar tuxedo is an excellent choice for grooms and groomsmen at evening and formal weddings. Its clean, uninterrupted line reads beautifully in photographs and carries a sense of understated authority.
