Description
The Men's Grey Velvet Tuxedo is a refined statement of evening sophistication and modern formal elegance, designed for the man who appreciates distinctive texture and polished occasion dressing. Crafted from premium velvet, the grey jacket delivers a soft lustrous finish and rich visual depth that instantly elevates the ensemble, while maintaining a graceful structure and luxurious drape. Paired with solid plain black trousers, this tuxedo creates a sophisticated contrast that feels both timeless and contemporary, offering a formal look that stands apart with understated confidence.
The tailored silhouette and elegant contrast between the grey velvet jacket and black trousers create a balanced and commanding presence, making this tuxedo an exceptional choice for weddings, receptions, black tie celebrations, gala dinners, formal parties, and distinguished evening occasions where standard suiting can feel too conventional. The jacket features sleek black shawl lapels, a refined chest welt pocket, clean lower pocket detailing, and a polished one button front that enhances its streamlined and formal character. Every element of this ensemble has been thoughtfully considered to create a cohesive look that transitions effortlessly from ceremonial moments to late evening celebrations.
Size & Fit
Fit
Cut to a modern tailored fit — clean through the chest and waist without being restrictive, with a structured shoulder and a lightly tapered trouser. It sits between a slim fit and a classic fit: closer than off-the-rack traditional tailoring, but with enough room to move, sit and wear comfortably through a long day.
If you normally find slim fits tight across the back and shoulders, this will suit you. If you prefer a fuller, draped silhouette, size up one and have the waist taken in.
Choosing your size
Jacket and trouser sizes are selected separately, so you're not tied to a fixed drop. Order each to your own measurement.
- Jacket size matches your chest measurement in inches. A 40 jacket is cut for a 40" chest.
- Trouser size matches your natural waist, not the waist of your jeans. Denim is usually labelled 1–2" larger than the true measurement.
- Length — choose Short if you're under 5'9", Regular for 5'9"–6'0", or Long for 6'0"–6'4". If you are outside those proportions or need a non-standard length, choose Custom. Length affects jacket body, sleeve and trouser proportions together.
If you fall between two sizes, take the larger and have it adjusted. Letting a garment out is difficult; taking it in is straightforward.
Made-to-measure
Select Custom at the sizing step to open the Suit Heritage customizer. Choose Bespoke or Made to Measure, enter the measurements we need before adding the suit to your bag, and production begins once those details are confirmed.

Care Information
Your suit is a structured, tailored garment. It is not machine washable, and it should never be tumble dried heat and agitation will distort the canvas, shrink the lining, and permanently change the shape of the shoulder and lapel.
- Dry clean only, and only when genuinely necessary. Over-cleaning shortens the life of tailoring more than wearing it does.
- Spot clean small marks promptly with a clean, damp white cloth. Blot, never rub.
- Air the garment for a few hours after each wear before returning it to the wardrobe.
- Brush lightly with a soft garment brush, following the direction of the weave, to lift dust and surface fibres.
- Rest between wears. Two days is ideal — it allows the fibres to recover their shape.
- Hang on a broad, contoured wooden hanger. Wire hangers collapse the shoulder line.
- Hang trousers by the hem or the waistband on a clamp hanger to keep the crease true.
- Steam rather than press to release creases. If pressing, use a low setting and always a pressing cloth.
- Store with room to breathe in a cotton garment bag, never plastic, and keep away from prolonged damp or direct sunlight.
For alterations, repairs, or a full press before an event, we recommend a professional tailor. Our team is available for guidance at any point.
