Product Information
Full details
The Paul Andrew Double Breasted Dinner Tuxedo Jacket is designed for the modern gentleman who requires a sharp, structured look for formal events and black-tie occasions. It provides a highly polished aesthetic through its tailored silhouette and signature peak lapels, ensuring a commanding presence. While its polyester construction offers excellent wrinkle resistance and durability, potential wearers should note that it lacks the natural breathability of high-end wool, which may be a consideration for outdoor summer events.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for warm weather?
While the fabric is durable, the polyester blend is less breathable than wool, so it is better suited for indoor, climate-controlled events.
How should I clean this tuxedo jacket?
It is strongly recommended to use professional dry cleaning services to maintain the integrity of the garment's structure.
Can I wear this with casual trousers?
This jacket is specifically designed for formal wear; for the best aesthetic, pair it with matching formal tuxedo trousers.
What kind of shirt works best with this lapel?
A standard spread collar dress shirt or a formal wing-tip collar shirt will complement the sharp lines of the peak lapel.
Does the jacket come in other sizes?
Yes, Paul Andrew offers this model in a variety of sizes ranging from 38 to 52R to accommodate different builds.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases upon unboxing
Hang the jacket in a bathroom while taking a hot shower; the steam will naturally relax the fibers without the need for an iron.
Lapels not laying flat
Ensure the jacket is stored on a proper suit hanger. If the issue persists, take it to a professional tailor to have the lapel steam-pressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your tuxedo jacket is stored on a wide-shouldered wooden hanger to prevent the fabric from distorting. Compatibility-wise, this piece is designed to be paired with trousers of a similar fabric weight to maintain visual continuity. Regarding care, always check the internal garment tag for specific instructions; due to the structured canvas and construction, dry cleaning is the recommended method to prevent warping or damage to the internal lining. Avoid excessive exposure to direct heat or harsh chemicals to protect the fabric finish.
