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.
Elegance that fills every room.
The tuxedo is the most formal type of evening wear—and at the same time, the garment that ensures you make a confident impression 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.
Our men's tailor will guide you through every step of the process: consultation, precise measurements using fitting samples, production, and fitting. The result is a tuxedo that fits perfectly—at every step and in every moment.
Which tuxedo is right for you?
From classic black tie to a white dinner jacket—we’ll tailor your tuxedo to the silhouette that suits your occasion and your style.
Navy with peak lapel
A modern classic: deep navy with a sharply defined peak lapel in silk satin—contemporary, elegant, and distinctive.
Black with a peak lapel
The timeless black tuxedo—the most formal type of evening wear. Perfect for galas, the opera, state receptions, and formal weddings.
White Dinner Jacket
The white dinner jacket with a shawl collar—inspired by the Italian summer. Perfect for galas on the Riviera, elegant weddings, and special summer evenings.
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 through measurements with adjustable panels
- Classic full-canvas and handmade construction for a sturdy silhouette
Notched lapel or peak lapel?
The lapel defines the character of your tuxedo. Both styles are classically appropriate—the choice depends on your personal style and the occasion.
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.
pointed lapels
The lapel, sharply pointed upward. More formal, more austere, unmistakable. The classic choice for official occasions, opera and state receptions, as well as all formal black-tie events.
Custom-made tuxedo shirts.
A tuxedo calls for the perfect shirt. We also tailor this to your exact specifications—made from Egyptian cotton or the finest poplin, featuring the classic details of evening wear.
- Classic tuxedo shirt. Smooth front, concealed button placket, or buttonholes for cufflinks—a understated, elegant design.
- Pleated tuxedo shirt. The distinctive pleated front—iconic and unmistakable for formal black-tie occasions.
- Cufflink slits. Double cuffs designed to accommodate cufflinks made of mother-of-pearl, onyx, or any other material of your choice.
- Classic collar style. Kent collar or spread collar—perfect for a bow tie.
Accessories with personality.
The bow tie, the pocket square, the shoes—it’s the accessories that complete the tuxedo look. We also offer custom-made options upon request.
Monogrammed bow tie
The self-tying black silk bow tie—available with your personal monogram on the back upon request. A discreet, distinctive touch.
Shoes to wear with a tuxedo
Classic choices include patent leather Oxfords or—for more casual occasions—black velvet loafers. Both options are the perfect finishing touch to your black-tie look.
