Midnight Blue Wool Silk Tuxedo Jacket

1950s · 1950s · American

A midnight blue formal tuxedo jacket featuring peak lapels with black silk facings and a single-button closure. The jacket displays the characteristic 1950s silhouette with a nipped waist, structured shoulders, and clean lines typical of mid-century formal menswear. The deep blue fabric appears to be a fine wool blend with a subtle sheen, contrasting elegantly with the black satin lapel trim. The construction shows precise tailoring with sharp lapel points and a fitted torso that reflects the era's emphasis on masculine sophistication. This represents the evolution of evening wear during the Atomic Age, when traditional black tie dress codes began incorporating rich navy alternatives.
