Is this jacket worth it for one event?

For a single wedding or holiday party, the polyester velvet and moderate price make it a sensible rental alternative. If you wear black tie often, a wool or silk velvet jacket holds up better.

How does the tailored fit run?

Tailored fit is close through the chest and waist, so size up if you plan to layer a sweater underneath. The size 52 comes in short, regular and long.

Can I wear it to a black-tie event?

Yes for black-tie optional and creative black tie. Strict black tie calls for a tuxedo with satin or grosgrain facing, not a velvet dinner jacket with flap pockets.

What should I wear with it?

A white or black dress shirt, a bow tie and dark dress trousers work best. Skip a vest; the peak lapel and velvet already carry the look.

How do I care for polyester velvet?

Dry clean only, and brush the nap after wearing to lift lint and marks. Store on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.

Our take on the Jos. A. Bank Tailored Fit Comfort Stretch Velvet Dinner Jacket

The Jos. A. Bank Tailored Fit Comfort Stretch Velvet Dinner Jacket is a single-breasted formal jacket in 100% polyester velvet with a peak lapel, two buttons, flap pockets and full lining. The comfort-stretch fabric and pick stitching give it a softer, more forgiving feel than stiff traditional velvet. It comes in a tailored fit and extended chest size 52, in short, regular and long lengths. No current price was provided, so check the live comparison for where it sits against its recent range.
