Dinner Jackets
The dinner jacket sits at the centre of formal evening dress. Traditionally worn for black tie, it is defined by precision, proportion and restraint, yet remains one of the few areas of menswear where individual expression is both accepted and encouraged.
At Favourbrook, our dinner jackets range from classic black and midnight blue styles to velvet and embellished designs that extend the boundaries of black tie. Known in the United States as the tuxedo, the dinner jacket remains a cornerstone of British eveningwear, offering confidence whether adhering to convention or choosing to step beyond it.

Dinner Jackets & Modern Black Tie
Black tie has always evolved. While classic black and midnight blue dinner jackets remain the foundation of formal evening dress, modern black tie attire allows greater freedom in fabric, colour and finish. A man in a well-cut dinner jacket looks composed rather than costumed, whether it is called a tuxedo, a dinner coat or an evening jacket.
Velvet dinner jackets introduce depth and texture, offering a softer alternative to traditional wool, while silk and embroidered and patterned styles allow for a more expressive approach. Single- and double-breasted silhouettes each carry their own character, with shawl and peak lapels providing a more formal line, and notch lapels lending a slightly more relaxed attitude when executed correctly. The Hampton wool dinner jacket is cut as a single-breasted, shawl lapel and double-breasted jacket in black, with a single-breasted option in midnight blue.
Whether chosen for formal events, evening celebrations or private occasions, a well-considered dinner jacket should feel confident, elegant and appropriate rather than restrictive.
The Favourbrook Dinner Jacket
Favourbrook dinner jackets are defined by craftsmanship, fabric and proportion. Alongside classic black tie styles, the collection includes velvet dinner jackets in rich, saturated tones and signature embellished designs featuring intricate embroidery.
Each jacket is cut using the same considered foundation, ensuring consistency of fit and balance regardless of fabric or finish. Decorative elements are applied with restraint, allowing embroidered and patterned jackets to feel refined rather than excessive.
For those seeking a contemporary interpretation of black tie, the collection also includes modern silhouettes that introduce relaxed proportions while remaining rooted in established evening dress codes. The result is a dinner jacket that offers clarity, individuality and confidence, whether traditional or expressive in character.
