Black Tie · Bespoke Tailoring in Düsseldorf

Your custom-made tuxedo.
For the big night.

A tuxedo is more than just evening wear—it is an expression of poise, elegance, and the occasion. Crafted from the finest fabrics, with silk satin lapels and a perfect silhouette. Tailored just for you.

The Premier League

Elegance that fills every room.

After the tailcoat, the tuxedo is the most formal type of evening wear—and at the same time, the garment that lets you make a confident appearance at galas, opera evenings, weddings, or festive occasions.

Every tuxedo from our Düsseldorf studio is custom-made to your measurements. Whether it’s a classic black peak-lapel tuxedo, an elegant navy shawl-collar tuxedo, or a white dinner jacket for a summer in the south—you choose the fabric, lapels, fit, and details.

We guide you through every step of the process: consultation, precise measurements using fitting patterns, production, and fitting. The result is a tuxedo that fits perfectly—at every step and in every moment.

It's the details that make the difference

Silk satin, craftsmanship, perfection.

A tuxedo is defined by its details. Every tuxedo from our atelier features the characteristics that set it apart from a classic suit—consistently and authentically.

  • Lapel made of pure silk satin – shawl collar or peak lapel
  • Silk-covered buttons, color-coordinated with the lapel
  • Side silk piping on the tuxedo pants (braid)
  • Piped pockets without a visible flap
  • Custom fit thanks to manufacturing tailored entirely to your measurements
  • Classic full-canvas and handmade construction for a sturdy silhouette

Types of lapels

Notched lapel or peak lapel?

The lapel defines the character of your tuxedo. Both styles are classically appropriate—the choice is yours and reflects your personal style.

collar

The soft, curved lapel line with no visible seam. Particularly elegant, with a touch of classic romance. Historically, this is the original style of the dinner jacket—ideal for private galas, stylish weddings, and intimate evenings.
