Around 1887, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) ordered a black evening getup from renowned London tailors. He wanted a shorter jacket to escape the formality of a tail coat. Later on the look became a staple in New York gentlemen's clubs. Little changed since, and little should. A proper Dinner Suit (Tuxedo, if you prefer) is a safe investment. 100% Woolmark, Super 120s yarn, Slim fit, Single breasted with one-button fastening, Working four-button cuff, Canvas chest piece construction,
