Legacy Black Double-Breasted Dinner Suit
Description
The Sexton ready-to-wear double-breasted dinner suit. Cut in a sharp black Italian wool, this jacket features grosgrain lapels in the classic Sexton peak and a narrowed waist, to induce a striking silhouette.
To match the classic and timeless style, we have paired this jacket with our fuller-cut heritage trousers. Alternatively, for those that preffer a slimmer and more modern cut, our contemporary trousers are available here.
For those requiring and extra level of formality, our matching black legacy waistcoat is available here.

Jacket Block
This shapely approach to tailoring also filters through to our double-breasted models, which come in two complementary styles. Perhaps our best-known cut is the timeless Signature Double-Breasted jacket, which has four buttons to fasten and two ‘show buttons’ on the chest. A personal favourite of Edward’s, double-breasted jackets like this lend stature and a touch of authority to the wearer, but can nonetheless still create a playful impression in bold colours, soft textures.

Trouser Block
Those who, like us, enjoy a touch of romance in their dress may prefer trousers cut with pleats. Our Heritage Trousers are cut in the classic mid-century style with a high rise, generous legs and two deep, forward-facing pleats on each side of the waist. Trousers like these create the illusion of a slim waist and hips, and form the bottom half of the hourglass shape that starts with our jackets. We finish these with our signature pistol shaped side straps and slant-jet pockets; details which help our Heritage Trousers to retain a clean, fluid line through the leg.
