Barathea Peak Lapel Slim Fit Tuxedo
Product Details
Web ID: 4717678Very Nice Tux for the Price
This is a sharp tux - nice fabric, well-made, and good detailing. I sized up from a 46 to a 48, and it fit perfectly. The sleeves are vented for functioning buttons, which I added with no problem. The only (minor) complaint I have is that the buttons are horn. Traditional tuxedo buttons should be satin or grosgrain (to match the facing on the lapel - in this case, satin). The tailor changed the buttons, to satin ones, for me at no cost - so it was never a big issue. And it’s a minor complaint because I know the horn buttons are likely RL’s “take on a classic,” and that black tie rules are loosening. But I’m a traditionalist when it comes to black tie, and I like the satin buttons. Bottom line, at this price I would’ve been hard-pressed to find a more suitable tuxedo. It just doesn’t look like a $1,400.00 tuxedo; it looks more expensive. If you’re a traditionalist like me, don’t forget the cummerbund, studs, and (traditionalist or no) a BLACK bow tie. I have the Purple Label bow tie, and it’s what you would expect - phenomenal.

Sized for juveniles. Not adult.
Small, tight, fits shoulders, does not fit anywhere else.

Unhappy
Order was repeatedly cancelled despite website and store inventories showing our sizes in stock.
Customer review from Ralph Lauren
Priced for established men. Sized for kids.
Sizing is way off. 42R fit in shoulders but too small in body. 44R, too big in shoulders. Returned both. Since RL changed to custom sizing it’s difficult to find clothes that fit.

Not quite there yet.
I ordered up a size and still missed. I’m a 42R in sport coats. 42R was small and short. I then ordered a 44R, which was large in shoulders. Just can’t get it right.

Tuxedo's are cut smaller than the stated size.
Ralph Lauren cuts small. I usually wear 46L business suits and could not wear this tux in a 48L. It was too tight in the shoulders. They did not offer a size over 48.

Elegant, Classic, and Timeless
It comes with all the timeless features: ventless, single button, jetted pockets, and peak lapels. This tux made me look taller, stronger and younger!!! This rig is total sophistication and swank!!!
