tuxedo jacket

Black tie garment

A tuxedo jacket is the formal jacket worn as part of a tuxedo—typically black or midnight blue with satin-faced lapels, designed for evening occasions.

The term distinguishes the jacket from the complete ensemble, useful when discussing fit or style: The tuxedo jacket was a bit tight across the shoulders.

Unlike a suit jacket, tuxedo jackets feature distinctive formal details like covered buttons and satin trim.
