From traditional ‘white tie’ events to cruises, 1860 is the natural choice for something a little more special. Our black evening tailcoats, dating back 150 years in style, are for the most formal of events with the double breasted, military style tailcoat always worn open to reveal the starch white Marcella waistcoat, shirt and matching bow tie. For suave and sophisticated evenings, the cream tuxedo, invented by Mr James Potter of Tuxedo Park, New York, fits the bill offering a stylish alternative to the all black dinner suit.
