Men's Peak Lapel Tuxedo Jacket vs Cardi Peak Lapel Tuxedo Blazer

Buy the Tuxedo Closeouts jacket if you want a complete black-tie set with matching pants and a wool-rich cloth. Buy the Cardi blazer only if you need a single jacket in size 40R and prefer a double-button front. The Tuxedo Closeouts piece is 45% wool, has satin-faced peak lapels and a one-button front, and comes with unhemmed flat-front pants. The Cardi is 63% polyester and 35% viscose with a double-button front, nonfunctional cuff buttons and a full lining. Neither is a pure-wool garment, so expect a synthetic hand and dry-clean care. Owners of poly-blend tuxedos often note the cloth looks flat under bright light, while wool blends drape better.

• Choose the Tuxedo Closeouts tuxedo if you need a full black-tie outfit with pants included and want a wool-blend cloth with satin lapel detail.
• Choose the Cardi blazer if you only need a single jacket in size 40R and prefer a double-button front with a full lining.
