Midnight Low Double-Breasted Dinner Jacket
Description
A modern dinner jacket with vintage elegance. The midnight wool cloth is smooth and resilient, while the slubby silk dupion lapel adds texture and depth. The low double-breasted cut opens the chest for ease and proportion, with jetted silk pockets and no vents to keep the line clean. A refined balance of tradition and flair—perfectly Sexton.
About the block
The low Double-Breasted Jacket fastens at the hip, which has its roots in the 1930s and ‘40s, seen in films that Edward long admired like Casablanca, and this too relies on the delicate balancing of proportions. The lower buttoning point and subtly extended shoulder-line focuses the eyes on the shoulder and hip rather than accentuating the waist. This creates a louche, masculine and fluid silhouette. We cut these jackets slightly looser in the body and without rear vents, true to their art deco archetypes.
