Midnight Low Double-Breasted Dinner Suit

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.

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. This style too relies on the delicate balancing of proportions. The lower buttoning point and subtly extended shoulder line focus 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.

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.
