We cut this dinner jacket with a continuous shawl lapel and a single-button front. The lightweight polyester cloth has built-in stretch to ease movement across the shoulders and back. Padded chest pieces and structured shoulders keep the front clean when fastened.
Curved shawl lapel
The lapel sweeps in a single unbroken curve down to the button stance. It gives the jacket a softer line than a notched collar, suitable for summer events and evening wear.
Single button closure
A single resin button secures the front, setting a clean focal point. We pad the chest and shoulders so the front panel stays flat rather than buckling when closed.
Stretch polyester cloth
We chose a lightweight, plain-weave polyester cloth with medium stretch. The weave recovers well from creasing and allows the jacket to move easily without losing its line.
Dry clean care
Send this piece to a dry cleaner to protect the internal canvas, shoulder pads, and chest structure. Steam lightly or press with a warm iron between wears.
