Matching Ivory Dinner Jackets with Gold Lapels
First published on the brand’s official Instagram in October 2025.
Occasion Brief & Fitting Journey
“Coordinating our jackets gave the family portraits incredible elegance, and having each jacket drafted to our own measurements made a world of difference in comfort.”
The Commission
A pair of matching ivory dinner jackets, each with a shawl lapel covered in dense gold sequin work, a single-button front and flap pockets. Both were worn with pleated-front dress shirts, black bow ties and black trousers, one with a patterned pocket square. The pair was first published on the brand’s Instagram in October 2025.
Design & Construction
Matching jackets for two people are two separate commissions. Each is drafted from its wearer’s own measurements, so lapel width, button stance and length are proportioned to each man rather than copied from one to the other. Because the body of the jacket is plain ivory, the cut and the canvassed front have to be clean enough to stand on their own beside the embellished lapel.
Styling Notes
An ivory dinner jacket is the warm-weather and celebration alternative to a black tuxedo, and the gold lapel ties it to the gold of Indian wedding jewellery and décor. Keeping the bow ties, trousers and studs black holds the look firmly inside classic formalwear.
Commissioning a Similar Piece
Matching jackets for a groom and a brother, friend or father are separate commissions, so each wearer needs his own measurements and at least one fitting. Agree the shared elements, cloth, lapel embellishment, buttons and pockets, at one consultation, and let proportions differ where builds differ. Ivory marks easily, so plan collection close to the event and use a garment bag on the way to the venue.
Details Worth Noticing
- Both shawl lapels are covered in dense, textured gold beadwork, so the embellishment frames the face and stops at the lapel edge.
- Each jacket fastens with a single black button, which ties to the black bow ties and trousers.
- Flap pockets keep the body of the jackets plain; one jacket also carries a black-and-white patterned pocket square in the breast pocket.
- Both shirts have pleated bib fronts fastened with black studs.
- The bow ties differ slightly, one textured and one sequinned, so the pair match without being identical.
- Black trousers keep both looks inside classic dinner-jacket dress.
Price guide: Bespoke Tuxedos at the atelier typically range from ₹15,000 – ₹65,000+, depending on cloth, construction and embroidery, and every piece is quoted after consultation. Tuxedos and dinner jackets typically take one to six weeks, with trial fittings ensuring perfect drape. If the date is close, see Express tailoring.
Caring for a Garment Like This
Ivory shows marks quickly, so keep the jacket covered until you dress, avoid dark drinks near the beaded lapels, and have it cleaned promptly after the event by a specialist in embellished garments. Store it in a breathable cotton cover rather than plastic, which can yellow pale cloth over time.
Questions About This Commission
Can the groom and his brother or friend wear matching jackets?
Yes. Each jacket is a separate commission drafted from its wearer’s measurements, so the pair share cloth and details while the proportions suit each person. Small differences, such as the bow tie, help the groom stand out.
Is an ivory dinner jacket formal enough for a reception?
Yes. An ivory dinner jacket with black trousers and a black bow tie is a recognised evening alternative to a black tuxedo, well suited to warm-weather and celebration receptions.
What shirt goes with an ivory dinner jacket?
A white dress shirt with a pleated or plain bib front, fastened with studs, worn with a black bow tie, as here.
