Having a Ball!
The growing trend toward school proms and an increasing number of people partying at summer balls has created a new demand for more fashionable formal attire. In response to this Skopes’ design team have created the Ronson slim fit fashion tux.
The one button jacket is available from 36” chest, tailored to a contemporary slimmer fitting block, with satin piping trim to the narrow peak lapels.
Made from our luxurious hand feel Cyprus fabric, the drape and appearance is second to none!
As with all Skopes suits, the satin piped Anthony trousers are all available in mix and match so that you can ensure a perfect fit. They are cut with a narrower leg, and the Dermot waistcoat completes the look offering a cool 3 piece solution to any black tie event.
