Men's tuxedos: what Black Tie requires

If the invitation says ‘Black Tie’ or, in German, ‘Abendgarderobe’, a tuxedo is meant. The dress code takes its name from the black silk bow tie that belongs with the tuxedo. For daytime occasions, the equivalent is the morning coat; for ‘White Tie’, it is the tailcoat. The white Dinner Jacket also belongs to Black Tie.

The tuxedo at John Crocket

A tuxedo is recognisable by its silk-faced lapels and by the braid, the silk stripe down the trousers. Our tuxedo jacket is a one-button jacket, and both jacket and trousers are made of Super 100s pure new wool. With it go the white dress shirt with piqué front and double cuffs, the black silk bow tie, either self-tie or pre-tied, the silk cummerbund and cufflinks for the double cuffs. On the feet, black shoes without perforations, such as a Plain Oxford in high-gloss leather.

Ordering from Wilvorst

The jacket and trousers come from Wilvorst. We order them for you on request, even when you order in our online shop. This adds a few days to the delivery time; you will find the exact details with each item.

FAQ

What does ‘Black Tie’ mean on an invitation?
Black Tie calls for a tuxedo for men. The same applies when a German invitation says ‘Abendgarderobe’. The name comes from the black silk bow tie that belongs with the tuxedo. If the invitation says ‘White Tie’ or ‘große Abendgarderobe’ instead, the tailcoat is meant. For daytime occasions, the morning coat is the rule.
What is the difference between a tuxedo and a suit?
A tuxedo is an evening suit with set details: the lapels are faced with silk, and the trousers have a braid, a silk stripe, down the side. It is worn with a silk bow tie and a cummerbund. A dark suit has none of these details. If an invitation says ‘dark suit’, a tuxedo is therefore not what is meant; a dark grey or dark blue suit is.
What should I wear to a wedding with a Black Tie dress code?
If the wedding invitation says ‘Black Tie’ or, in German, ‘Abendgarderobe’, men are expected to wear a tuxedo. It is worn with the black silk bow tie, a white dress shirt with piqué front and black shoes without perforations. If the wedding takes place during the day, the morning coat is the right choice.
Which bow tie goes with a tuxedo?
A black silk bow tie. It is available to tie yourself or pre-tied. The self-tie bow tie is considered the classic Black Tie detail; the pre-tied version is the simpler option, with an evenly shaped bow.
Which shoes go with a tuxedo?
Black shoes without perforations. A black Plain Oxford in high-gloss leather is particularly formal: closed lacing, with the seams at the toe cap and between the vamp and the quarters as the only decoration.
What is a dinner jacket?
At John Crocket, the Dinner Jacket is a white jacket that, like the tuxedo, belongs to the Black Tie dress code. We offer it as a one-button jacket with a shawl collar or with peak lapels.
How quickly can a tuxedo be delivered?
We order the jacket and trousers from Wilvorst on request, even when you order in our online shop. Delivery therefore takes a few days longer than for items we hold in stock. The exact delivery time is shown with each item.
