This is a vintage bespoke shawl-collared dinner suit (tuxedo) in navy worsted wool by J. Liggio of West Brighton, Staten Island. Navy dinner suits are considered just as classic as black tuxedos and often superior because they actually appear black at night unlike true black tuxedos, which can sometimes have a greenish tint. The facings are all in smooth silk. The jacket is single button, darted, has besom pockets (still sewn shut), is fully canvassed, and unvented (traditional for dinner suits). The trousers have double reverse pleats with internal buttons for braces in the front and external buttons in the back. No cuffs on the trousers since this is a dinner suit. The shoulders are relatively structured (not ridiculously so) considering the popularity of soft or natural shoulders on the forum, but could either be easily removed or reduced. Personally, I would replace the buttons with something like smoke MOP.
