Dinner Jackets FAQ

1. What makes a quality dinner jacket?
A superior dinner jacket begins with exceptional fabric selection from mills like Vitale Barberis Canonico and Thomas Mason, known for their lustrous finish and superior drape. Dutch craftsmanship ensures precise construction with hand-padded lapels, functional buttonholes, and silk-faced lapels that catch light beautifully. The jacket's structure should maintain its shape while allowing natural movement, achieved through expert canvas work and careful pressing techniques that define our tailoring heritage.

2. How should a dinner jacket fit?
The perfect dinner jacket fit balances classic proportions with modern tailoring precision. The jacket should sit comfortably at your natural waist with lapels lying flat against your chest. Sleeves should reveal approximately half an inch of shirt cuff, while the jacket length should cover your trouser waistband completely. Our Dutch tailoring tradition emphasizes a structured yet comfortable silhouette that flatters your natural build without restricting movement during formal occasions.

3. How do I care for my dinner jacket?
Proper care preserves your dinner jacket's exceptional quality and Italian fabric integrity. Professional dry cleaning is essential, but limit frequency to maintain the wool's natural properties. Between wears, hang the jacket on cedar hangers in a breathable garment bag. Brush the fabric gently with a clothes brush to remove surface dust and maintain the wool's natural luster. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

4. When should I wear a dinner jacket?
Dinner jackets are appropriate for black tie events, formal galas, opera performances, and sophisticated evening occasions. They're ideal for professional networking events, award ceremonies, and upscale restaurant dining. The versatility of our collection allows young professionals to invest in quality formal wear that transitions seamlessly from business events to social occasions.
