WILLS Velvet Dinner Jacket vs Men's Shawl Collar Black Tuxedo Jacket

Buy the WILLS velvet jacket if you want a statement dinner jacket with peak satin lapels and a choice of four colors. Buy the shawl collar tuxedo if you want a plainer, more formal black jacket with more pockets and recycled fabric. The WILLS is velvet, so it reads dressier and shows wear faster; the tuxedo is polyester with a soft shoulder and no back vent, which limits movement. Owners of slim-fit jackets like these often size up, and the WILLS listing says so directly.

• Choose the WILLS velvet dinner jacket if you want a soft velvet jacket with satin peak lapels and a color beyond black for weddings, parties and prom.
• Choose the shawl collar tuxedo jacket if you want a classic black tie look with a shawl collar, six pockets and recycled polyester fabric.
