Why this black tuxedo shirt stands out
-
Giza cotton in a deep black. Long, fine Giza fibres give a smooth, breathable cloth with a rich black that looks sharp under evening light and in photographs.
-
A chevron pintuck bib. Rows of fine pintuck pleats run diagonally and meet at the placket in a V. The front has depth and texture without any ruffles or studs.
-
A clean, modern line. No front pocket and a smooth pleat-free back keep the silhouette streamlined, so the shirt lies flat under a fitted jacket or waistcoat.
-
Made to measure, not off the rack. Choose a standard collar and sleeve size and a fit, or send your own measurements and we cut the shirt to you.
How to wear a black tuxedo shirt
Under a black or midnight navy dinner jacket with patent oxfords, it makes a bold groom's look. For a modern black tie event, wear it with charcoal or light grey tailored trousers. For a smart evening, roll the sleeves and wear it with dark tailored denim and leather loafers. Strict traditional black tie calls for a white shirt, so choose black for black tie optional events, creative black tie, galas, modern weddings and dinners. Grooms and groomsmen can order matching shirts, each made to his own size.
Sizing
Choose your collar size and sleeve length, pick a fit, or send us your body measurements. You can also measure a shirt that already fits you well and we copy it. See our size guide for charts and how to measure.
