Black Hampton Wool Dinner Suit
Favourbrook · £1,020
Nice, but provisional
Grosgrain silk peak lapels and silk-covered buttons on an all-wool dinner suit, with a paisley lining and three inside pockets. Peak lapels are the more formal choice and grosgrain is the harder-wearing of the two silk finishes, so this is correctly made for what it is. The premium over the plainer evening cloths is going into the silk and the finish rather than into the wool itself.
- For
- Someone who goes to enough black tie events to want peak lapels rather than the safe notch.
- Not for
- Anyone buying their first dinner suit, where the cloth matters more than the lapel.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
