Midnight Drape Dinner suit

A dinner jacket with ease and presence. Cut in a deep midnight wool, it features Sexton’s drape silhouette for comfort and natural movement. The notched lapel is faced in textured silk dupion —matte, slubby, and beautifully understated. Balanced, elegant, and full of character, it’s evening-wear for those who prefer quiet sophistication over formality.

The Drape Jacket is inspired by the slightly softer and rounder jackets Edward first cut at Kilgour in the 1960s. Subtly extended shoulders with soft pads and a rich chest contribute to a jacket feeling supremely comfortable. We like to cut Drape Jackets in smooth gabardine, plush corduroy and heavy Irish linen – cloths that will change the character and improve with age. We also add a second button to our Drape Jackets to help balance their generous chest and shoulder line.

Classic Sexton dress trousers cut in midnight wool and trimmed with a silk dupion side stripe. The cloth has a soft drape and refined texture, while the stripe adds subtle contrast through its matte, slubby finish. Designed to complement the matching dinner jacket, they complete a dinner suit of relaxed refinement and discreet glamour.

Our classic gentlemen’s trouser developed in 2023 is clean and close around the top but fuller through the knee and hem. This trouser is both comfortable and timelessly elegant, and with its 2” waistband with a long extension and side adjusters, it sits beautifully on an elegant shoe or rests naturally on a trainer.
