Is this jacket suitable for a black-tie event?

It reads as dressy rather than strictly formal. The mandarin collar and piping suit creative or semi-formal evenings, not traditional black tie.

How does the polyester fabric feel?

Smooth and fairly stiff, with good wrinkle resistance. It breathes less than wool or cotton blends, so it can feel warm in a crowded room.

The cut is described as fitted, so it sits close to the body. If you want room for a sweater underneath, consider going up a size.

It is listed for leisure as well as evening wear. Worn open over a T-shirt it works for nights out, though the piping keeps it dressy.

The jacket itself. No shirt, tie or trousers are included.
