Grey Statement Dinner Jacket

Grey Statement Shawl-Lapel Dinner Jacket

Elevate black-tie with tonal texture. Cut from a wool-silk jacquard in sophisticated charcoal grey, this dinner jacket features a sweeping black satin shawl lapel for unmistakable presence at galas, weddings, and red-carpet events.

Why It Steals the Spotlight

The subtle floral (paisley) jacquard catches light without loud sheen, while the broad shawl lapel frames your face and bow tie. Pair with classic black tux trousers for a modern two-tone look that respects every black-tie code.

Care & Longevity

FAQs

Is a grey dinner jacket acceptable for traditional black-tie?
Yes - the satin lapel, covered button, and subdued jacquard comply with black-tie codes while adding modern distinction.

Can the jacket be tailored further?
Absolutely - there’s 4 cm of inlay at the side seams and sleeves for customised shaping; a complimentary basic alteration credit is included.

What trousers should I wear?
Classic black wool tux trousers with satin side stripe create the correct contrast; midnight-blue is an equally elegant alternative.
