What is a tailcoat?
A tailcoat is the most formal men's suit you can wear. It consists of a black or midnight blue jacket with long tails, matching trousers with double braid stripes, a white waistcoat, and a white shirt with a stiff collar. The tailcoat is traditionally worn with a white bow tie and is the perfect choice for especially festive evening events.
When can you wear a tailcoat?
A tailcoat is exclusively worn at formal evening events, usually after 6 PM. Typical occasions include weddings, gala evenings, opera balls, and other festive events. With a made-to-measure tailcoat from Hockerty, you ensure that you are dressed elegantly and stylishly for any occasion.
What is the difference between a morning coat and a tailcoat?
The main difference between a morning coat and a tailcoat lies in their intended use and design. A morning coat, also known as a cutaway coat, is typically worn for daytime formal events and features a single-breasted design with a curved front that tapers away to a single button. It is often paired with striped trousers. In contrast, a tailcoat is designed for evening events and has a double-breasted design with long tails at the back, worn with matching trousers and a white bow tie. Both garments are formal, but they are suited to different times of the day and types of events.
What is the difference between a tailcoat and a tuxedo?
The main difference between a tailcoat and a tuxedo lies in the level of formality and design. A tailcoat is more formal and has longer tails, while a tuxedo is an elegant evening suit with a shorter jacket and a satin lapel. The tailcoat is worn with a white bow tie, while the tuxedo is usually paired with a black bow tie. Both suits are made to measure at Hockerty and tailored to your exact measurements.
Tuxedo with tails?
A tuxedo with tails is a tailcoat. Yes, it is the same. You can call it the way you want. But at the end of the day, it is just the same thing. It is the best choice for evening formal weddings. And yes, you can also call it tuxedo tailcoat, no problem.
